Hey Dustin My company has also recently changed our backup schemes. I did a lot of research and I found some very interesting NAS solutions for on-site and off-site backups. What we are using are Buffalo Terastation PRO?s. They?re small NAS boxes with 4 hot swappable drives with RAID (you can select custom raid levels on the web management interface).
Because of our clients demand for these types of solutions we?ve become a certified Buffalo Tech product dealer. We will have a live interactive demonstration network setup at the Biz-Tech Expo on October 11th-12th at the River Center. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. I would love for you to come by and try it out and touch the box. Its one of the best bang-for-your-buck storage systems have had the pleasure to deal with. http://buffalotech.com/products/product-detail.php?productid=129&categoryid=27 Also it?s a Linux-based product, PowerPC (PPC) processor running an embedded version of PPC Debian. P.S. we should do lunch sometime again soon, that PF Changs was good. Dustin Puryear wrote: > Hi, just wanted to make a quick note.
