Mac - storing huge file sizes - multiple rooms

[nezzbit]

My first post:

 

I have about 250 macs in various suites around my college. Most of them are used for video editing, lots of currently use huge files stored on a central storage server.

 

When a student logs on they drag their files, some work off of the central store, they have to upload those files at the end of the lesson, these could be as big as 100gb.

 

How does everyone else deal with the massive files that video editing present in education on macs? If it was a few students it wouldn’t be so bad but I have classrooms full doing a similar thing.

 

Thanks in advance!

Which video application are you using in college?

We use Adobe Premier Pro across multiple classes at the same time.

We used scratch disks and 10gigabit ethernet to the mac server, had no complaints.
