Hi, I'll post this here as it is where it seems to fit better...


Is there any recommend office IT infra-structure for an architecture office running revit? (server, network, other,...).


The office has 10 users running revit. 50% of them usually run central files. Revit files (except locals) are stored in a NAS (synology) on a 1Gb network. The office is looking to upgrade the single NAS with a setup that gives hardware redundancy. This could be a server or another NAS. Also to allow a supported expansion up to 20 revit users.

There is a lot written about personal workstations recommended hardware, but where can one find about the recommended IT infra-structure for an office?

What considerations should be made for the server?
Tradicional server or NAS?
Is there a way to improve loading/ access times either by using SSDs in the server/ NAS or using network cards that allow 'link aggregation?

Any thoughs or tips where to look for this info is higly appreciatted.
