There are three components to the basic StorNext solution: Clients, Meta Data Controllers
(MDCs), and the storage. There are also ancillary components such as the SAN, the TCP/IP
network, and optional archive storage such as tape libraries or second tier disks. However, for
selling and support purposes the components are software, support, and implementations
services.
StorNext Environment
The announced support for the IBM Digital Media Storage Solution is the result of efforts
between ATTO (HBAs), Quantum (StorNext), LSI (Storage Subsystems), and IBM. We have
identified a set of hardware, firmware, and configuration parameters that will be supported. The
set of configurations will be expanded in a logical manner over the next few months as
additional choices are available and tested.
