Our media business is migrating all of our active production work to a high performance cloud storage solution. Given the relatively high storage costs of that service I am looking to build an on-premise archive solution out of some of our current production hardware. End of life projects will get transferred from cloud to on-prem archive but will remain online and accessible.
I happen to have at my disposal an iX Systems X20 plus 24 disk expansion shelf (36 disks in total), so have a great footing to kick off this project.
The archive will be shared across several offices and not all sites will have dedicated private (VPN) access to the archive server.
Where I am undecided is how to interface the storage solution with and easily accessible (and secure) web interface where specific approved staff can browse the archive and retrieve files if necessary.
All staff have Azure AD accounts so perhaps something that will use Microsoft's SSO & MFA to authenticate would be ideal.
I thought about Nextcloud using external storage on the TrueNAS but not sure how performant that is with indexing external storage.
I have run NC in a TrueNAS jail at home but do not trust the updating of that package vs a dedicated Install on Linux.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
