Hi, thanks to all for the valuable inputs, surely we will have external HDD for each unit, its a shame that the room wont look as “clean” as we wanted and we will also have to lock external units in some way.
PT LE is going to be used in a push pull basis, students will work locally and then they will save their works using their account. we think that having a fibre channel network (or xsan) just for that low bandwidth is a waste of resources.
By the way the ME66 is in our list but is not the only one 😉

Hi guys thanks for your help, the one think that makes me nervous is that is going to be installed in 40 computers in a University and having external drives will need a safe box for each one to prevent thieving. anyone know a trusted way to attach an external drive to an imac?

Hi Bob, thanks for your comments, surely ill try to push for VSN or Avid’s Isis instead. ive contacted small tree guys before but institutional requirements needs ST to have offices in our country. id like to go to a really pro system but is seems difficult to approve a 500K one. anyway if you have any comment about those any word is welcomed.
best

Hi dudes, i really appeciate your help. people will be working with after effects, photoshop, maya and the worst case bandwith scenario would be all clients editing HD video xdcam 35Mbps at a time, lets say 2 video layers each.
Maybe i can go up to 5 xserves and 3 promise raid boxes, each 16TB total 48TB, all AFP. That is what i got. iIl reduce afp latency as much as i can by fine tuning the system. Im not sure if there is any benefit from having more than 8GB RAM per xserve in this case.
Bob, what you say about big system is refered to have many more storage boxes or can you tell please any advice about that? i guess that promise and xserve system is what i will have to deal with. if not AFP do you know any other option to run over Xserves? would i push harder enough AFP limits by using small tree 6 channels ethernet cards in each server?
by the way, avid told us that we would be able to run all those clients with 3 boxes and 2 director units.
any advice will be well comed
