Hello kind folks of MacRumors.com-
I am wishing for help and advice deciding what type of hardware to purchase for a 30TB server. It must meet the following requirements:
• 30TB RAID (Redundancy important for backup purposes)
• Remote Accessibility in that I would like to be able to pull files from it anywhere that I have an internet connection.
• Macintosh friendly– it does not need to run OS X Server, it just needs to connect without hassle to Macs.
This will be used for at my office for archiving video. We may want to use Final Cut Server to sort the files in the future. I have been tasked with building this setup and am hoping for suggestions from one of the brightest communities on the web. :D
Your time in responding is much appreciated.

Thank you all for your help so far! I'm getting closer to some conclusions thanks to you!
The speed of my internet connection has been brought up a couple times, I have a T1 connection and plenty of bandwidth.
I've quoted a few replies and have questions for some of you who have helped a lot already.
Please bear with me as I ask some questions:
For remote access, how will remote users be authenticated ? what bandwidth will they have available at their end and at the server end ? how many concurrent users will there be ? what availability do you need for remote access
For web browser access I would probably go for the Barracuda SSL VPN device.
1. I was thinking that I could set up FTP access to the data because the max concurrent users would be around 10.
2. If this is not possible what advantages does the Barracuda device provide?
You could get some sort of rack-mounted array that can support 48+ drives (assuming a bunch of 1TB drives in the array, although you could go with 2TB drives as well). You can link several smaller cases together and connect them to a Mac Pro with additional hardware that supports RAID. That assumes you want to go the Mac route for the software side. With Lion merging the serve OS that could make things a lot easier.
How many users are you planning on supporting? Are you planning on doing more than just hosting video files? Email? Calendar? Web services? (what sort of Internet connection you have plays in here as well). If it's just a couple users, your server probably doesn't need to be a high end Mac Pro. Still, look at what you are buying. This could easily be a $25,000 plus project. And don't forget the whole backup strategy which can be expensive in terms of equipment and more expensive in terms of disciplined time investment.
1. I'm wondering what type of rack-mounted array you recommend assuming I get a Mac Pro.
2. I'm looking at about ten users max, usually only a few. How much RAM do you recommend equipping the Mac Pro with assuming I get at least a quad-core.
http://www.activestorage.com/activeraid.php#tab5
fill it with 2tb drives and get a mac mini server or a mac pro server or eqv for remote (with a fat pipe if you don't have one already)
or use this (32tb option) for the storage either one of these or the active raid will do fine

� These look great, but I'm thinking I might be able to build something to meet my needs for less money. I have the skills to put a server together and set it up, this is just my first time creating a rig from the ground up. Thoughts?

Apple killed the beauty of this method with 10.4.4, when JPEG icons started to be rendered as ugly pixellated images with black borders. As far as I can tell this problem has not been addressed. So, I'm still running 10.4.3. If this page-curl materialises, and I have to use it, it will piss me off no end. It is completely pointless.
My JPEGs all look fine. No black border, crystal-clear. Perhaps you are using Graphic Converter? That generates some ugly previews but is still by far the best image conversion app I've seen.
iCal has been a disaster for 4 OS X releases now. It is, without a doubt, Apple's worse application. It's missing functionality, basic functionality, that has been in every calendaring program since 1992.
iCal is a sad example of Apple going to far to the extreme of minimization.
All I really wanted in the last 2 OS updates was a decent iCal. It's the only thing on the Mac that continually hurts my productivity.
I've learned that iCal is just the price of being a Mac guy, and I don't hope for greatness. Heck, I don't even hope for mediocrity. iCal is always going to be slow, inconsistent UI and barely usable.
iCal... ~sigh~. If only, if only. I need to send invitations to Outlook users-- but iCal refuses to do so. iCal is slow, even worse than Entourage. The interface is extremely un-Apple in that it takes up the entire screen to use effectively. Integration with Address Book and Mail is nice, though.
If you don't like iCal and it doesn't fit your needs, try something like Entourage. Maybe coming from your PC background it'll feel more at home? Part of the MS office suite. Yes I know MS ewww. But it's there
Entourage doesn't integrate with OS X well enough for me. Address Book and Mail both work great, plus are much faster. And I don't need to use Word, PowerPoint, etc. that often. Excel is something I do a fair bit of work in... but rarely. Entourage also has bad errors every once in a while, loosing files and stuff.

That's a great point. I hear, "the goal of every business is to make money" here on Macrumors a lot, but Apple is doing very well, and as long as they make money because they are designing amazing technology, not the other way around, they're doing just fine by me.
Actually, I think Apple is starting to push into the business market. They seem very serious about their upcoming Xserve launch in the next couple weeks and the iMacs make excellent office computers. Not to mention the current commercial specifically mentioning that their systems run MS Office. I'm willing to bet we'll see a bigger business/corporate market push by Apple once Office goes universal binary.
Anyway, while we're on that subject, does anyone know of a good accounting program for the Mac? And NOT Quickbooks! I despise that software, Intuit has over-simplified it to a point where it actually takes too many redundant steps to do a lot of things. That and its payroll support is a joke since you have to pay them extra to use it and well... I'm not even going to go there.

10.6 is very decent but there are a couple of minor things that would make me very happy;
being able to password protect individual folders
and
greater freedom in being able to display/group your files and apps as you like (for example being able to group apps by type/frequency of use or being able to list a track under several genres/artists in itunes; which should be possible as the program doesn't have to edit the ID3 tags).
And MacPaint!

I never understood why people give a "Negative" to articles like these. What can be Negative about them announcing a new product. It's not like you are on DroidRumors or a general phone website where other users can show their dislike towards the iPhone.
Maybe some of you who recently just purchased an iPhone 4 are just having a bit of buyer's remorse? Don't be such losers.
1. I did not vote this down, Macrumors does not seem to count my votes. (Dogs can't vote?)
2. I do hope the iP5 is delayed. The only thing I want from the iP5 is LTE. Anything else is a bonus. The later the release, the higher the probability of LTE.

Oh, there's no doubt we've lost The Ashes. So well done to England. They were certainly the better team. However, I think England should play to win this one. They're playing it a little safe now.

Did anyone notice on the very beginning of the show "HD brought to you by Windows 7" ? I know this is probably coincidence, but its still not cool to do spoof like this if Microsoft is a sponsors. I kinda lost respect for the guy now, I don't know. Peace may be funny, but its still very distasteful to do 8 and a half minute clip, which is almost half of the show if Microsoft is a new sponsor. I mean come on.

This x 100.
People are really stupid, sometimes.
See above comment as it applies to you. Not sure if you can read this with your tinfoil hat falling off of your head and covering your eyes, though.
I could just as easily call you a sheeple. Blindly following everything Apple says.
*zombie eyes* Yes the white iPhone 4 will be at launch. In a month. In the Fall. In the Spring. Sometime soon...
*zombie eyes* Yes Apple, there are no Antenna problems
You are simply holding on the blind faith that there will be no iPad 3 JUST because of that one slide and think I'm the loony one? Apple is a company, they want to make sales. There were iPad 3 rumors all over the place. They were right to say that wether an iPad 3 comes in 2011 or not. They used it because it went along with their theme that the iPad was the year of 2010. It is simply a marketing word choice, not a sneak peek of their product cycle. Get a grip.
Again, I'm not saying that we will see an iPad in 2011. I'm just saying that when Apple says "jump" I'm not going to say "how high". That slide has no bearing on when the iPad 3 will be coming out.
