Hardware / Working on Server/NAS
« on: 2021-12-13, 11:50:33 »
Hey Guys, I'am rethinking our current workflow and would like to make some changes in our network.
Currently we are 4-5 people working in the office. We have a QNAP with dual 1Gbit we use for archive and assets storing. Every user is working locally on their computers and copy the assets he needs from the server to local. After the project is finished it is stored on the NAS.
Now I'am thinking of getting a bunch of dual 10gbit cards, setup a FreeNas Server and move everyones work to the Server.
My expectations:
What do you guys think? Is a 10gb network fast enough for everyone to source their assets/projects from the server? Or is working locally still the better solution?

My expectations:
- no time wasting with export/import of projects if somebody passes on a project to you
- no relinking and less troubleshooting for network rendering/render managers
- easier sharing of material libraries and other assets
- better backup management
- It's going to be slow
