At work, we deal with numerous individual projects. These projects might be 30 second commercials, or individual websites. We have several people working on these projects, and multiple projects may be worked on per day. Because of the size of the files we use (mostly video), all our work has to be done locally. Any of you who work in IT, know where this is going. If you've ever had your home computer crash, and lost all your pictures, you know, too.
