Re: Ethernet SAN for Editing

Thanks for the response Bob! Sadly, our student run television station is part of a different funding group than the school so we have access to a lot less funding.

I have a lot of the components that are needed to build most of the metaLAN in the studio already (i.e. I have a computer I could use, we need to buy more storage space anyway, etc) so would buying the extra components I have to set up a test environment to see what happens be worth it? Either way I plan on calling up John to see if what solutions are available in my price range.

If metaLAN would work, I'd love to go with that, but if I need to go with a more expensive system I'll see what I can do.

Just so I know, what kind of problems did you encounter that makes the process of setting up metaLAN so painful?
