We just setup a Scale Computing NAS.  They came and performed the setup themselves and provide remote assistance at an affordable rate.  I haven't migrated all the data to this yet and released into production but so far so good.

Thanks,
Alex

As a small shop in NYC, we've had nothing but success with Dell's PowerEdge line.  Very hard to beat Dell on price and the support has been good as well.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a small NAS system for a small/medium sized studio out of london. Need around 4-6 TB of storage, and should be able to handle 6 After Effects artists and 6 Maya plus a handful of general office users. I don't need serious speed, but storage expandability would be nice. One thing I'm specifically looking for is a vendor that has UK contact and support. I've seen some of the smaller builders like Aberdeen but am worried about how they will perform/support devices in the UK.

Obviously I've looked at Dell and HP, but beyond those two I'm not sure where to look next. Isilon/bluearc etc are out of the price range (and frankly the small scope of the operation  imo) HP doesn't even sell their lower/mid end NAS models directly, you have to go through a 3rd party vendor...would like to avoid that if possible. I'm comfortable with linux or windows.

Thanks
