Thank you very much Bob for your reply. You made it very clear and your advice is very helpful.
Along with the storage upgrade we will have the following clients in total.
Fibre Clients
2 x Smoke (MAC) (HD 1080 Uncompressed)
1 x Resolve (Linux) (2K DPX, RED, ARRI D21)
2 x FCP (OFFLINE) (ProRes)
1 x FCP (INGEST)
Ethernet Clients
7 x VFX (MAYA, AE, NUKE)
So do you think 2 x 24D Facilis would cut it for the clients above? Does it matter if get a 8Gbit over a 4Gbit configuration? ( an 8Gbit config has over 10K difference in price.)
