NAS and business storage solutions

Designs, drawings, scanned documents, photos and backups keep growing. Storage that is simply 'a big disk' eventually fills up, slows down or fails without warning.

A NAS on its own

One place your files live.

  • Central shared files and permissions
  • Snapshots can undo recent mistakes
  • Still one device, in one building
  • Fire, theft or ransomware can take it with the data

NAS plus backup

Storage, plus copies you can restore.

  • Files on the NAS for daily work
  • A scheduled backup to separate storage
  • One copy kept off-site or in the cloud
  • Restores tested, so recovery is known to work
Storage and backup do different jobs. A NAS keeps your files available; backup keeps a separate copy you can restore from.

What it is

We plan storage around how much data you have, how fast it grows, who needs access, and how it will be protected.

Problems this solves

  • Shared drives are full or close to full
  • Files are scattered across desktops and USB drives
  • Opening large files over the network is slow
  • A single disk holds data nobody can afford to lose
  • An old NAS needs replacing and the data must move safely

What we provide

  • Capacity planning based on current data and growth
  • NAS deployment on QNAP or Synology
  • OpenZFS storage for servers and virtualization
  • Shares, user permissions and access control
  • Storage migration from old NAS units or servers
  • Disk health and capacity monitoring
  • Snapshots and replication where the platform supports it

How we do it

  1. Measure what you haveCurrent data, how quickly it grows, and which files people open most.
  2. Design the storageCapacity, disk layout and platform chosen for your access pattern and budget.
  3. Set up access properlyShares, users and permissions so each department reaches what it should.
  4. Migrate and verifyExisting data is copied, checked and cut over with as little disruption as possible.
  5. Protect and watch itSnapshots, backup copies and disk-health alerts are configured before handover.

Technologies involved

  • QNAP
  • Synology
  • OpenZFS / ZFS
  • ZFS snapshots
  • ZFS replication
  • SMB/NFS shares

Products we work with. Listing a product does not imply an official partnership.

A typical requirement

A diamond business storing years of scans and records on a single external drive.

A CA office that wants one central, permission-controlled place for client files.

Common questions

Is a NAS a backup?

No. A NAS is storage. It needs its own backup copy elsewhere. We plan both together.

QNAP, Synology or ZFS — which should we choose?

Each suits different needs and budgets. We recommend based on your capacity, performance and recovery requirements, not a preferred brand.
