Currently I have a complex multi camera system that I have to transfer data from 50 Computers to a Gigabit Synology NAS with 7200 RPM Hard Disks that we have. It is using a standard Cisco Gigabit Switch . Each computer has 80GB of data to transfer after a 5 min recording session.
Because of this, data transfer of a 5 min recording session takes almost 12 hours. I need a way to speed this up, and I have to give recommendations. This is a college and I am a student so we dont really have a dedicated network engineer. Students get the money and have to do everything.
I need to know how I can cut this 12 hours down to say..2 or 3 hours. I suspect firstly that we need to upgrade the Switch to a 10Gigabit Switch, with at least 1 or 2 10 Gigabit SFP outputs. Then I guess we will need a 10 Gigabit NAS with SSD's instead of HDD's. Is this correct? If so, I would definitely like some hardware recommendations and how to go about this.
Furthermore, I know SSD's are not good for long term storage. Is there a system that lets me RAID 2 SSD's and maybe 2 HDD's as backup somehow. SO the SSD acts like a buffer for fast data access, but the data is safe in the HDD over a longer time
