Solution: Rich Media

Challenge

Implement a high performance and cost effective rich-media solution where users of heterogeneous workstations and servers can share files on a SAN.

Solution

Deploy an intelligent SAN infrastructure consisting of an iQ2880 Fibre Channel Storage System and a J2880 Fibre Channel Expansion Enclosure for primary storage. Use a J2880 SATA Expansion Enclosure for secondary storage and install DataPlow SFS SAN shared file system software to provide a storage environment that offers SAN users the flexibility of sharing files simultaneously.

Benefits

  • Enables concurrent file sharing across heterogeneous systems, allowing the hosts to have direct access to a single copy of the file through the san, without the delays associated with transferring large media files through a LAN.
  • Eliminates movement of data over LAN by connecting hosts directly to shared SAN storage devices.
  • Increases productivity by enabling multiple users to work on the same file simultaneously.
  • Supports Windows 2000, XP and 2003, Linux 2.4 and 2.6, IRIX 6.5 and Solaris 7, 8 and 9 operating systems.
