Hello everyone,
I've been tasked with coming up with a backup solution for our video archive. Let me describe what we have in place currently:
We have a Thecus N16000V NAS unit with 3 D16000's attached to it for a total of 64 Drives. First unit has 16x4TB drives, and the other 2 units have 16x6TB drives (One unit is populated with old HD's that I don't trust for use). Each unit is its own RAID60 Array. We have a total of 3 mount points on the main N16000V, with a total storage space of 174TB..
All the files on this NAS unit are video files (Adobe Premier and RAW video).
I'm looking for any suggestions on where I should take this storage so that we can properly back it up. I started looking at Dell EMC solutions, but don't see how dedup technology is going to save us much in the way of eliminating the amount of data needing to be backed up.
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
- Rob
