Hello!
My name is Miguel and my colleague and I are currently tasked with setting up a small pipeline for visual effects and video editing work at a small studio. I just wanted to get your opinion on the setup we are planning on implementing. We are planning on purchasing a Blackmagic Cloud Store (20TB) for our main storage and we would like to have multiple PCs connected to it. This Cloud Store comes with 4 10G ethernet ports but we were thinking of purchasing a 10G switch to connect to the Cloud Store and then at least 5 computers (Mac and Windows) connected to the switch. This would be a 10G setup for all devices. Is this the correct way to set something like this up? We would also want all the computers to see each other on the network since we could potentially be implementing a render farm in the future. Based on some light research I've done so far, I found the TL-SX3016F JetStream 16-Port 10GE SFP+ L2+ Managed Switch. At what point would we run into any limitations? TY!
