Hi Bob

Thanks !

I understand the confusion, my mistake, though the last paragraph of your reply nailed it spot on:

[Bob Zelin] “I can only give you one pointer in the right direction. Tell the IT department at the university, that if they try do to themselves, they will fail. Purchase a product from a company that knows how to do this (you already suggested two companies), and you will have a working system, without any issues. If the IT staff wants to show how smart they are, and show how much money they can save the university by doing it themselves, they will fail, and you will have an expensive mess on your hands. There are lots of companies that do shared storage systems for the professional video industry, and your IT staff is not among those companies.”

I will (try) to act accordingly.

Regards
