I am currently phasing those georgous pieces of machinery out for an Active Storage solution that, I must say, rocks.

	Re: Looking to build new Raid 5 arrays (Reccomendations) by Fred Jodry on Dec 27, 2011 at 3:49:33 pm in the - ARRAYS & RAID Set-Up - Forum Chris, it sounds like an Active Storage Inc. unit is a great match for you.

	Re: Storage Options100+ TB by David Gagne on Apr 19, 2011 at 9:45:05 pm in the SAN - Storage Area Networks Forum Hey there. Fellow non-profiter non-sales guy here. I'm currently installing "100+ TB" as well, and I can offer some advice, and also a referral. Obvious things to consider: How many clients connected? What bit-rates are the video files accessed?


	Re: Storage Options100+ TB by Bob Zelin on Apr 15, 2011 at 4:51:03 am in the SAN - Storage Area Networks Forum Hi - because this is a small industry, and because all the competitors are pretty friendly with each other, you are not going to see "us say" - "oh yea, that brand sucks". They all work. The most expensive solution is as Mark suggested - Active S


	Re: Storage Options100+ TB by Mark Raudonis on Apr 14, 2011 at 4:35:52 am in the SAN - Storage Area Networks Forum Drew, OK. Here you go. We use Apple's X-SAN tied to Active Storage X-RAIDs. With over five years of uptime, it's been a workhorse for us. Will this be the right choice for you? I have no idea. It depends on what your needs are. So, your qu


	Re: ActiveSAN Pricing Announced by Jordan Woods on Apr 10, 2011 at 6:04:05 pm in the Active Storage XRAID Forum I feel I need to run some clarification on how this price is derived and how it is poised for the current Xsan configuration. Lets start with the current server setup - by the time you finished configuring your Xserve to be a great SAN MDC, you're up


	Re: ActiveSAN Pricing Announced by Bob Zelin on Apr 10, 2011 at 1:27:02 am in the Active Storage XRAID Forum Do these prices seem high, or am I missing something here ? It appears that this does NOT include any Active Storage arrays, and does not include a QLogic switch - I must be missing something here. Bob Zelin


	Re: Best way to archive my P2 HD footage by Dave Klee on Apr 8, 2011 at 4:31:24 pm in the SAN - Storage Area Networks Forum We backup our raw tapeless media (P2 and SXS) onto a shared Fibre Channel RAID from Active Storage, then back that up to Drobos. Cache-A is a great way to go if you're willing to spend the money, but a DroboPro with 16TB can be got for under $2,500.


	Re: What are some highlights of your Must See list for NAB? by Bob Zelin on Apr 7, 2011 at 1:37:31 am in the NAB Expo Forum I guess my point is that I have chosen to NOT look at cameras, even though they are critical - why - because there is TOO MUCH TO SEE. Because I am in the storage business, (and this has becomes the new post production core item), if you try to c

	Re: How to backup FCP projects by Andrew Kimery on Apr 2, 2011 at 12:44:35 am in the Apple Final Cut Pro Forum RAID 1 is okay for redundancy but it is not good as a back up. If a file goes corrupt or accidentally gets deleted/overwritten RAID 1 won't help you. If a power surge fries your gear RAID 1 won't help you. Back ups need to be kept separate from th

	Re: Fcp and Isis by Bob Zelin on Mar 17, 2011 at 7:37:37 pm in the SAN - Storage Area Networks Forum Great advice Andrew - get an Active SAN next month to replace the XServe metadata controller, and replace your antique Promise arrays with Active Storage fibre arrays, and call it a day.

	FCoE ? by Bob Zelin on Mar 7, 2011 at 3:33:04 am in the Active Storage XRAID Forum Could you explain FCoE, and why Active Storage will stay with 8Gig fibre instead of migrating towards FCoE ? I am not looking for a "book" explanation - just a brief. Thanks - Bob Zelin


	Re: Third Party Replacement for Xserve by Devin Crane on Jan 31, 2011 at 2:42:46 pm in the Apple Final Cut Pro Forum Why is that? Because so many people that ask the Basic Questions use 1 RU servers with FCP? Active Storage is offering a replacement to Xserve which more advance users tend to use.


	Xserve or Xserve like server being offered by Active Strorage by Devin Crane on Jan 28, 2011 at 8:03:53 pm in the Apple Final Cut Server Forum Reports are that Active Storage, compiled of former Apple employees who worked on the Xserve raids, will be providing their own xserve solution with Mac OSX server.

Get a real enterprise grade raid, like an Active Storage or NexSan SataBoy. You'll need a fiber card or 10gb nic. Then you'll get the kind of speeds and storage capacity you need.

	Re: Can you add 2Tb expansion chassis - Jordan by Jordan Woods on Dec 26, 2010 at 10:09:56 pm in the Active Storage XRAID Forum It's a difficult topic for sure. What one is able to do and what one should do are often in conflict. There are certainly good arguments for both sides.

	Re: Can you add 2Tb expansion chassis to 1 Tb original unit? by Jordan Woods on Dec 14, 2010 at 5:29:56 am in the Active Storage XRAID Forum It's perfectly fine to add the 2TBs. With the SAS expansion your controllers merely see the 2TB drives as "extra" drives on the same mid-plane. We would send you a "merge profile" that all you have to do is load and start working. Of course, Xsan wil
