IT Server setup for a new department

[cm3]

Hi all.

I work at a firm of Architects in the UK and we're looking at reforming our IT setup with a new storage server specifically for our arch vis team. The main focus is on reliability, speed of connection and ability to backup. This would be for four people initially but needs to scale for up to ten. We'd be producing animations and stills.

 

We're also having a horrible issue with Windows 10 dropping the current server connection, which is a cloud based solution. This happens randomly and obviously results in failure of renders and animations. Any Ideas?

 

Can anyone provide any headlines on this and / or recommend an IT consultant who has set this up before in the UK.

 

Thanks very much and all the best.
