SANMP Workflow

[Simon Blackledge]

I don’t get your question :-/

Hi Bryan,

I saw your post here on the Cow and also read through your previous support ticket with us regarding your installation. Your setup consists of the three MacPro edit systems, a Mac mini with a Magma Express Box 3T, 4 port GbE card, and Promise Pegasus via Thunderbolt. This Mac mini is running our XTarget iSCSI software managed with SANmp.

In volume based workflows there are a few general approaches that work very well depending on your needs. Customers who set up a single large volume for sharing media assets tend to do so in conjunction with a central ingest point. Another approach is to create multiple volumes assigned per user, per client, or per project. A lot of it depends on how you assign your edit work. For example, if users are not always sitting in the same edit suite every day, user based volumes can be leveraged for them to ‘carry’ their projects, media, renders, etc. with them from suite to suite. Some customers use various combinations of all these approaches.

How many users are there working between your three edit suites?
How is work assigned? Does one user Produce/shoot/edit their own project? or are multiple people working on various edits for the same project?

Best Regards,
-Caspian
