About K2 Summit system storage options

The K2 Summit system can have internal storage for stand-alone use, or it can have storage that directly connects to the K2 Summit system. Multiple K2 Summit systems can share storage on a K2 SAN.

The K2 SAN is Grass Valley’s shared storage solution that gives multiple clients access to a common pool of media. Clients access the shared media storage via a Gigabit Ethernet network and a Fibre Channel connection. Data is communicated using the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) data transfer interface, the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) protocol, or the Quantum® StorNext LAN Connect protocol. For more information on the K2 SAN, refer to the "Installing and Servicing the K2 SAN" section of the K2 Topic Library.
