Catdv with a mixed PCs and Macs environment – server connection

TIm, could you post more info on the Dax system?
It’s been a long time since I heard anything out of them and was wondering if it was still available through the US distribution. The Atempo plugin is only available from the UK these days and Dax is also absent from the US price list.
Thank you,

Hi Bryson,
We actually resell the DAX Broadcast Archive solution as part of our ArGest DAM solutions. The solutions are complete to the end user, so everything the user needs is included – Disk, tape, BRU Server, DAX BA, and CatDV all as a complete bundle. The only thing missing (for now) is the Mac or Linux server to act as the physical server.
Our most popular package is a combination of a 24 slot LTO-6 library, 32TB RAID, and 2 Sonnet xMac Mini server units – one as the CatDV / DAX / BRU Server server and the second as the CatDV Worker Node server. Of course, you could add more Mac Mini’s as Worker Node servers if the requirements exist and the arrays can be expanded out to a total of 16, 32TB units. We can also include 10GbT networking.
Both the end users and our resellers appreciate the single point of contact for ordering and for support.
While I love chatting about our solutions here, it’s probably better to discuss it in more detail directly.

BRU … because it’s the RESTORE that matters! -
The DAX component is required to enable CatDV to interface directly with BRU Server. Once DAX and BRU Server are configured, you manage everything from within your CatDV Pro Desktop with a simple mouse click.
So long as you segregate your normal backups and your CatDV / DAX archival by configuring different destinations in your library, they will never interfere with each other. For a standalone drive, just be careful with your tapes 🙂 .

Excellent news Tim, that’s where the source and the support should be, with the archive system.
I’ll keep this in mind if people ask about BRU and CatDV.
