@Geoffrey, you are right - wow, a 4GB NAS eh?<br><br>My client is a small NGO, with data thats growing more than exponentially. With about 10 users, about half of them aleady have filled up 300GB in their laptops. So am looking for a NAS that can be used as a central file server, maybe run Alfresco or FreeNAS on it. This am am hoping to experiemnt and seee which will do the work better.<br>
@Washington, redundancy on the NAS is not my major a major issue, as what am planning is to have a backup of the same in yet another similar appliance, maybe stored in a separate office in the same office block. This should be able to compress and encrypt the backup data. This is where am thinkiing that FreeNAS is going to be better than Afresco but am not sure. <br>
Anyone done this before?<br><br>Evans<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 10:54 PM, geoffrey gitagia <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:ggitagia@gmail.com" target="_blank">ggitagia@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
