Thread: XServe RAID and catalyst

Hybrid View

    What about RAID setups that connect via gigabit ethernet? Would these work well with catalyst? If you are using machines with the CIB on them, and don't need to network them for syncing them? Or could you add another Gigabit card......

    ethernet is not optimised for any kindof real time networking.
    it has a good headline data rate, but terrible latency.
    And apples file sharing isnt optimised to do this either.

    Ethernet based networks for use with catalyst- IMHO - has to be about the worse possible thing.

    Fibre channel and the hardware to support it -is designed to do this kindof thing, in real world video networks.
