Mining NAS Storage Solutions
Store Mining Data Close to Where It Is Created.
Fast local storage for large mining datasets. Site NAS keeps geological data, survey outputs, drawings, drone imagery and video close to the people who use them, with resilient drives, permissions, snapshots, backups and scheduled replication back to head office.
Mine sites generate big files: block models, point clouds, survey outputs, drone imagery and video. Opening them over a satellite link from a cloud drive is slow and expensive.
What to store locally
Geological datasets, survey outputs, engineering drawings, equipment documentation, drone imagery, video footage, large project files and shared operational records are all candidates for local storage.
Protecting the data
We design for capacity, drive resilience, permissions and local performance, then protect data with snapshots, backups and replication. RAID protects against drive failure but does not replace backups.

Delivery methodology
How we deliver
Assess
We review your sites, users, connectivity and risks, and confirm scope, access and induction requirements.
Design
We select standard, supportable technology and document the solution, costs and delivery plan.
Deploy
Equipment is prepared and tested before dispatch; remote and field engineers implement around your rosters.
Support
Everything is monitored and supported 24/7, with field services coordinated when physical work is needed.
Frequently asked questions
How much storage do we need?
+
We estimate from current data, growth rates and retention, then add headroom.
Is RAID enough protection?
+
No. RAID does not protect against deletion, corruption or ransomware; separate backups are essential.
Can head office access site data?
+
Yes, via replication, sync or secure remote access depending on bandwidth.
Which NAS platforms do you use?
+
We select enterprise-grade platforms suited to the workload and environment.
