K2 Media Server

The K2 media server is the engine of the K2 10G storage system. It manages the file system, database, FTP transfers, bandwidth, and connects K2 clients to a storage system. It's built-in QOS guarantees that enough bandwidth is always available to your video channels, regardless of other demands on the system. The server can also dynamically allocate unused bandwidth where needed, such as for non-real-time functions, such as file transfers.

The server uses iSCSI or LAN Connect technology over Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel connectivity for a highly reliable connection between its client and storage. For reliable performance, it uses TCP/IP offload engine to minimize the CPU load. Additional K2 media servers can be added to a system for more video/audio bandwidth or to function as a dedicated FTP server with 10 Gb/s connections to support devices such as high-speed tape archive system.
