I am personally looking for a 8-12TB max capacity storage server which performs well for both mac and pc, preferably there should be DLNA support (television access - to display material for customers).

It would be great if there was a solution to (eventually) connect locally through thunderbolt... (for editing stations) and cloud / remote access with good function would be good to have.

Basically, in an ideal world it needs to perform so well locally that it is possible to edit (without big loss of performance) material without copying.

And most important of all - it should be easy to use!

As always, it's a relation between cost and function - I've calculated a budget around 1000 euros for solving the matter (in other words - including some, if not all 8-12tb storage space..)

However, what I need should be secondary here (although I suspect some of you have similar needs) - the real question is what you use for backing up / storing files?
