Features of external storage models

The external storage K2 Summit system contains only the system drive. There are no media drives in an external storage K2 Summit system. There are two types of external storage for media, as follows:

  • Shared storage — Multiple external storage K2 Summit systems connect to the K2 SAN via Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel to share a common pool of storage.
  • Direct-connect storage — A single K2 Summit system with the optional Fibre Channel board installed connects directly to its own external (non-shared) RAID storage device. This makes the direct-connect K2 Summit system a self-contained, stand-alone unit, with no additional devices for storage connections required. You can transfer media in and out of the direct-connect K2 Summit system via Gigabit Ethernet.
