• The SystemManager is comprised of both hardware (SystemManager platform) and software (SystemManager application) components that communicate with the Omneon MediaGrid network over Ethernet, providing software update capability, network management, configuration, security and fault monitoring services. See the Omneon SystemManager Installation Guide and the Omneon SystemManager User Guide. • UI refers to the SystemManager application’s User Interface, viewed through a Web browser. • Volume, in the context of an Omneon MediaGrid, refers to a collection of one or more Groups and their associated ContentServers in an Omneon MediaGrid. • A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a network of computers that behave as if physically connected, even though they may connect to different segments of a LAN. About Omneon MediaGrid Omneon MediaGrid is a powerful disk storage server system specifically designed with the needs of large file storage and access in mind. Omneon MediaGrid boasts unique capabilities to meet the most demanding capacity, performance and data availability requirements. The software RAID implementation is tightly integrated into the File System delivering high performance and fast RAID rebuilds. Omneon MediaGrid Components An Omneon MediaGrid system is comprised of the following components: • Network Switches • ContentDirector • ContentServer • ContentStore • ContentBridge • SystemManager • Omneon MediaGrid File System Driver Software Network Switches Multi-port Gigabit Ethernet switches are used to interconnect system components in an Omneon MediaGrid system. MediaGrid supports several switches. For more information about network switches in the MediaGrid system, refer to Network Switches. ContentDirector ContentDirectors act as the overall file system controllers, managing the distribution of data throughout the system and providing data maps to clients for writing and retrieval of media from the system. In addition, the ContentDirector performs storage management and file housekeeping functions. 4 Installation and Configuration Guide
Two models of ContentDirectors are available. Refer to ContentDirectors 1000C/1000D and High Performance ContentDirector 2000 for additional information about this component. ContentServer ContentServers store data on disk drives and deliver files upon request from desktop clients or from legacy clients through a ContentBridge. ContentServers with RAID support have dual active-active controllers and redundant data paths to protect against any storage node failures. • ContentServer 3000 (16-drive 3RU server): Refer to ContentServer 3000 for additional information about this server. • ContentServers 1000 and 2000 series: Refer to ContentServer 1042B, ContentServer 1042C- DP, ContentServer 2122, and ContentServer 2124. ContentStore ContentStores can be connected to ContentServers to provide additional storage bandwidth and capacity for holding user data. Up to five ContentStores can be connected to each ContentServer in order to maximize delivered bandwidth and efficiently achieve massive aggregate storage capacity. • ContentStore 3160 (16-drive 3RU server): Refer to ContentStore 3160 for additional information about this server. ContentBridge The ContentBridge is an optional server that provides access to Omneon MediaGrid for client platforms that do not have the File System Driver (FSD) installed or do not use the Omneon MediaGrid API. The ContentBridge also supports active files transfers. This server provides a translation function for the following protocols: • AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) • CIFS (Common Internet File System) • FTP (File Transfer Protocol) • NFS (Network File System) Refer to ContentBridge 1000B or ContentBridge 2010B/2010C (High Bandwidth) for additional information about this component. The 2010B is available with copper CX4 or multi-mode fiber connectors. SystemManager The SystemManager platform is comprised of both hardware and software components that communicate with the Omneon MediaGrid network over Ethernet, providing software update capability, network management, configuration, security and fault monitoring services. Omneon MediaGrid features that are enabled, modified, or part of the SystemManager application are described in the SystemManager documentation. See the Omneon SystemManager User Guide for more information. Omneon, Now Part of Harmonic 5
