Centralised Data Storage

High-speed NAS storage arrays fortified with advanced ransomware protection — one secure home for all your company data, instead of files scattered across laptops.

At a Glance
Ransomware-Proof Snapshots

Immutable snapshots mean encrypted files can be rolled back, not ransomed back.

10GbE Performance

Storage fast enough for video editing, CAD and large databases.

Per-Team Access Control

Finance sees finance, design sees design — enforced by the storage, not by trust.

Overview

Why It Matters

When files live on individual PCs, every disk failure is a small disaster and every leaver is a data risk. We deploy centralised storage that is fast enough for daily work, organised with proper access controls, and protected with immutable snapshots — so even a ransomware infection can be rolled back in minutes.

Like everything we do at V12, this comes with our family-run promise: honest advice, transparent pricing, and zero-jargon support from the same engineers who built your system.

Scope

What's Included

  • NAS design & deployment — sized for your data today and your growth for the next five years
  • RAID & redundancy — disk failures become a maintenance note, not an emergency
  • Immutable snapshots — point-in-time copies that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete
  • Access control & auditing — folder-level permissions per team, with logs of who touched what
  • Off-site replication — a second copy of everything, automatically, every night
  • Quiet decommissioning — old file servers and USB-drive chaos retired safely
Capabilities

What We Deliver

Enterprise NAS Arrays

Business-grade storage with ECC memory and dual power — built to run for years, not months.

Snapshot Protection

Hourly immutable snapshots — any file, any folder, restored to any point in time in seconds.

High-Speed Networking

Link aggregation and 10GbE so the whole office works off the NAS at local-disk speed.

Team Shares & Quotas

Departmental shares with quotas and permissions that mirror your org chart.

Hybrid Cloud Sync

Selected folders synced to the cloud for remote access without exposing the whole array.

Audit Trails

Full access logging — know exactly who opened, changed or deleted any file, and when.

Our Process

How We Work

01
Audit

We map where your data currently lives — servers, laptops, USB drives — and how much there really is.

02
Design

Storage is sized with headroom, RAID levels chosen per workload, and a folder structure agreed.

03
Deploy & Migrate

The array goes in, data is consolidated, permissions applied and old copies retired.

04
Protect

Snapshots, replication and alerting configured — then tested with a live restore drill.

FAQ

Common Questions

Snapshots on our arrays are immutable — read-only at the storage level. If ransomware encrypts your files, the encrypted versions are new writes; the snapshot of the originals can't be touched. Recovery is rolling back to the last clean snapshot, typically minutes of work.

Every deployment includes off-site replication — a second array or cloud target receives a copy of your data automatically. Hardware can be replaced; with replication, your data survives anything short of both sites failing at once.

Yes — either through our VPN solutions for full access, or via selective cloud sync for specific folders. What we never do is expose the NAS directly to the internet.
