Planning Storage & NAS Systems
NAS and shared storage should be specified by usable capacity, file or block workload, performance, resilience and backup role. Raw disk capacity overstates available working space.
Deployment and acceptance
Plan rack and power, drive and network configuration, permissions, data migration, backup, retention, monitoring and restore validation before production cutover.
Operations, maintenance and support
Track capacity, drive health, performance and snapshots; test restores, patch software and replace failed media under a documented process. Storage redundancy is not a backup.
What to send for a scoped quotation
