And Finally, Apple Xsan

[litemover]

Richard,

Do you think that the latency will be reduced while using 10gb ethernet along with the fibre channel?

I will have to email the engineer about the latency problem and see if it will be improved in the later releases of xsan. He had told me that it was still very glitchy but it would be such a great solution if it would work and had low latency.

I will be watching this technology closely.

Sorry for the double post but if you haven't already seen this Richard, you should take a look. I think it is interesting to see how video servers are going to take advantage of this technology.

Profile is going to utilise san file sharing for up to 48 channels of video.

Call them up and see whether they can do seemless random looping from any two points in the movies.

These types of systems rely on buffering a lot of information.
And if you need to do live random loops the buffering is a hindrance.

These guys never have to worry about latency.
