K2 SAN overview description
The K2 Storage Area Network (SAN) is Grass Valley’s shared storage solution that gives multiple
clients access to a common pool of media. In the iSCSI SAN, clients access the shared media storage
via a Gigabit Ethernet network and a Fibre Channel connection. Data is communicated using the
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) data transfer interface and the Internet SCSI (iSCSI)
protocol.
A custom-designed Fibre Channel SAN is also available in which clients access RAID storage via
a Fibre Channel network, and the K2 Media Server connects via Ethernet for control functions only.
Refer to related topics in "K2 System Guide" for diagrams and explanations of the media le system
and the media database.
