I Built a HUGE 336TB Server!

Is it possible to build a 1/3 petabyte server on a budget? We say, YES!

As a video production company, we needed to find a better way to store, archive, and edit our footage across multiple machines. Since we're unable to shell out more than $40,000 on a LumaForge Jellyfish, we decided to build our own instead using old enterprise PC hardware. The end result? A 336TB server (that's 1/3 of a petabyte!) for less than $15,000 total—and most of that was the cost of the hard drives! It's crazy fast, we can communicate over 10 GbE, and edit directly from the server!
