      I work with a school system where we have 17 different subnets with a fog server on each. I was wondering if I can have all 17 fog servers look at the same storage node?

        My intuition is asking “What?? 17 fog servers on 17 subnets!!” How big is your campus? How many sites are involved here? I have to think you are going about this, somewhat wrong.

        But to answer your question, yes its possible.

          The school district I used to work for, we had about 15 servers on 15 different subnets. All of them were tied together to a central server, and we used the location plugin. I’m the guy that set all of that up.

          If you have 17 sites - one lonely little storage node won’t cut it. In the summer when all the technicians are imaging everything non-stop, you will fall behind because it won’t keep up with the pace you need. You need to run a storage node at each site and tie them all to a central server - and use the location plugin.
