Base Media AS / Equipment- Servers

Servers for storage

As a supplier, we feel it is wise to standardize on products that we as a company know well and have experience with.

When we focus on specific products or equipment, we develop a deeper understanding and expertise within these areas. This enables us to provide better advice and support to our customers in terms of implementation, maintenance and problem solving.

Although standardization has many advantages, it is important to be aware that customers' needs may vary.

We are therefore open to adapting solutions based on the customers' specific requirements. We believe that being able to offer tailor-made solutions within the framework of standardized products is a good approach to meet varied needs and preferences.

At the same time, we also keep up to date on new products and technologies that may be relevant to our customers, even if they are not part of our "standard portfolio."

When considering the choice of storage solutions, such as NAS (Network-Attached Storage), there are several important factors to take into account to ensure that the solution fits your needs:

Capacity:

Performance: Consider how quickly you need access to the data. NAS devices come with varying levels of performance, so choose one that matches your requirements, especially if you work with large media files or process many requests at once.

Redundancy: To ensure your data is protected from failure or loss, consider NAS devices that support RAID configuration. RAID 1, 5 or 6 provide different levels of data security.

Backup and recovery: Think about how you want to back up your data and how you can recover it in the event of a failure. Some NAS devices offer built-in backup capabilities.

Backup and recovery: Think about how you want to back up your data and how you can recover it in the event of a failure. Some NAS devices offer

Ease of use: Choose a NAS device with a user-friendly interface that suits your skills and needs. Simple administration is important to save time and avoid errors.

Scalability: Check if the NAS device allows you to easily add more storage capacity or features when you need it.

Compatibility: Check if the NAS device is compatible with the operating systems and devices you plan to use it with. Some NAS devices are more compatible with Windows, while others work better with macOS or Linux.

Network support: Make sure that the NAS can be seamlessly integrated into your network and supports the necessary network protocols.

Cost: Take into account your budget, including both the purchase price and any ongoing costs such as electricity consumption and maintenance.

Availability: For enterprise environments, consider whether you need features such as high availability (HA) to ensure that the NAS solution is always available.

Support and guarantees: Consider the supplier's reputation, customer support services and guarantees to ensure you get the necessary help and support when needed.

Consider the need for external connections: If you need fast access to your data, it may be a good idea to consider NAS devices that support 10Gb networks and preferably provide the ability to add more ports.

We do not charge extra mark-ups or margins on the products themselves.

When it comes to selling local servers, hard drives and external storage such as NAS devices, we practice a pricing structure that differs from many other suppliers. Instead, we charge a fee that covers the extra time and effort we put into handling the order and managing communication with the supplier to ensure a smooth and accurate delivery to our customers. This gives our customers the advantageous opportunity to acquire high-quality products at competitive prices, while benefiting from our dedication to professional service throughout the purchase process.
