General CG Discussion / Re: NAS vs Cloud

« on: 2016-04-08, 10:12:51 »

Hi,

I'm doubting between investing in a NAS or getting a Cloudflare vs akamai subscription.
They both have there pro's and con's.

With NAS you can have a lot of storage but it is also expensive. And if the building burns down or someone steals it, your files are gone.

With a Cloud subscription you get less storage but it's a lot cheaper (1TB for like 7 euros), and your files are safe! But they are stored on someone else there machines. And if you have a small render farm you every node needs a hdd where it can store the files, it goes over the internet so its also slower than a NAS.

What do you guys use and why?

Thanks!

At the consumer end of the market, Network Attached Storage is often marketed as a “personal cloud” solution, and comparisons to cloud services are valid.

what is the best way to go about this?

Decorating a room that doesn't have windows is one of the biggest design challenges. The lack of natural light can leave the space dark and cave like, which certainly doesn't help create a comfortable, inviting vibe for the room. If you're faced with decorating a room that has no natural light, however, all hope isn't lost. With a few basic changes and additions, you can help brighten even the darkest, dingiest room so your family actually enjoys spending time in it.
Use Artificial Light
Choose the Right Color
Use Reflective Surfaces and
Add Greenery
