Key to illustrated cable paths:
Gigabit Ethernet carrying real-time media
Fibre Channel carrying real-time media
Gigabit Ethernet carrying traffic that is not
real-time media
A black/gray pair denotes redundant cables
This system differs from the Level 3R system as follows:
•
A Fibre Channel switch fabric, comprised of one or more Fibre Channel switches, is interposed
between K2 Media Servers and the RAID Storage devices. This allows more RAID Storage
devices to be connected, which provides higher bandwidth and more storage space.
•
Additional FTP/Bridge K2 Media Servers are added, providing additional iSCSI bridges to
support more clients and higher bandwidth clients.
Guidelines for this system are as follows:
•
The Fibre Channel switch fabric must be zoned.
