TWEAK Consulting

If you need help building up your creative department or photo studio or perhaps you need guidance on workflow or software changes that affect every part of your business, you need TWEAK consulting to assist.

From setting up small-scale networks and mass-storage to servers and output technologies, TWEAK will analyze and recommend for your specific requirements.

For example, just ramping up, you may have a configuration where your main workstation has several large external drives and you backup your work onto DVDs and deliver on CDs or DVDs as well.

Network config - Such as it is

While this setup works fine for a single user, sharing data is difficult and your backups and delivery takes more hands-on time to accomplish as your main machine is tied up.

A small step you can take to make your system scalable and more readily available (ie: always live) is to move to an actual network with gigabit ethernet speed and install a RAID or NAS box. You can then use your fast external drives as your backups and deliver on either DVDs or over the internet.

Scaling this setup is much easier as you can expand your RAID or NAS storage as needed and simply plug in another computer to the network to add another person to the work (mouse over image to see) and all assets are available to everyone. You can also offload archiving or delivery disc creation to your regular assistance staff or any idle machine.
