exactly – we’ll see. Top pick for NAB 2011 though !
I don’t know StorNext, and I don’t know how much it is.
Visit to Quantum is also top of list for NAB 2011.

boy, it’s never over – is it.

Hah. With ActiveSAN you maybe can do StorNext without having to spend too much time on your favorite hobby – CLI.

David –
there are few posts on this forum that make me laugh, and yours is the one that made me laugh.

PS – don’t dream, it’s not going to happen.

David,

Networking your XServes together is the easy part. Just start putting in Ethernet cards, and get them all hooked into a Switch. Then hang whatever Storage you have, off the back of the servers, and share it out. If all the servers can see each other, they can see the storage attached behind one or all of them too!

I assume by reading your have more then one, that’s why I suggest the switch. (A managed Switch….) The Managed switch will allow you to hook into the servers via Ethernet….

(I’m not promoting you to do Real Time Shared Video Editing…but just a simple NAS base Storage Share among the servers without having to wait for something you don’t *really* want to spend more money on for equipment that’s old…..)

Let me know if you think this is a good idea?
