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.
