A solution shaped around your work.
A new NAS needs more than a network connection before staff start using it. Drive compatibility, storage layout, administrator access and folder permissions should be settled first, followed by a clear plan for protecting stored files.
What this service covers
- Drive compatibility and hardware installation
- Storage-pool and shared-folder initialization
- Network and user-permission setup
- Access testing and administrator orientation
We confirm the selected equipment, responsibilities and deliverables in your project proposal before work begins.
How we deliver the work
- 01
Assess the environment
Review the site, connected devices, existing configuration and application dependencies. Identify the physical access and operational constraints that affect the work.
- 02
Plan and implement
Agree the design, equipment compatibility and change window. Carry out the installation or configuration with a clear record of the agreed changes.
- 03
Verify and hand over
Check the relevant connections and business functions against the agreed scope. Record results, remaining dependencies and the information needed for ongoing administration.
A clear handover
Agree the records your team needs to operate and maintain the solution. Depending on the selected scope, these can include:
- Relevant configuration and equipment records
- Agreed functional checks and findings
- Administration guidance and support responsibilities
What to prepare for your project
Provide the NAS model, drive details, intended users and existing network information so storage initialization, folder access and any data transfer requirements can be scoped.
Discuss this serviceYour questions, answered
Will installing a NAS automatically move files from old computers?
File transfer requires a separate plan covering source folders, permissions, ownership and verification. It can accompany installation when included in scope, but the transfer should be checked before users switch to the new shared location.
How do we choose storage capacity and user permissions?
Review current file volumes, growth, applications and team access. For Synology, QNAP or other storage options, confirm the exact model, compatible drives and supported functions before selecting equipment.
What is agreed before moving files to new storage?
Identify the source folders, owners, access permissions and available backups. Plan a suitable transfer window, validate sample files and permissions, and agree when the old storage can be retired.
How do we prepare for work on an existing system?
Identify the system owner, authorized administrator and critical applications. Confirm available backups and any change window before work begins. Access credentials should be exchanged only through an agreed secure method, never in the enquiry form.
