Xsan Devices
Apple Xsan storage area network (SAN) devices provide fast access to media les.
Xsan devices are automatically congured with an edit-in-place path. This allows
Final Cut Server clients with access to the same Xsan volume to have high-performance
le transfers. Clients without access to the Xsan volume will experience normal network
performance for le transfers.
Xsan volumes must be mounted locally on this server using the Important:
Xsan Administrator application before it is possible to congure them as
Final Cut Server devices.
