High School GigE Video SAN

[David Roth weiss]

[Ryan Hayes] “It is interesting the conflicting information you get from different solution providers. Some say we need two switches and two networks: one just for video and one for everything else. We could use one of our MacPros with a multi-port NIC and link aggregation or we’d have a whole separate server/NAS. Some say we could use our current switch others say we can’t, that we need a specific switch just for video, preferably 10 GigE.”

Hi Ryan,

First let me say that I sincerely apologize if your email query to us at ProMAX went unanswered. I’ve tried to contact you offline to rectify that, and I look forward to hearing from back you.

As for your question above, you really do need to check out our ProMAX Platform – its 1GbE and/or 10GbE shared storage and lots more – with Direct-Connect “Switchless” design.

Switches = expensive bottlenecks. Platform has increased performance and higher bandwidth without expensive 10GbE switches.

If you want to know more please contact me.
