Omneon mediagrid 1042 Content Server 1U rack frameThe ContentServer is anintelligent storage device that interacts with other components of theOmneon MediaGrid to achieve the system’s very high access bandwidth andstorage capacity. Each ContentServer contains disk storage and networkconnectivity, both of which are used by the system to provide capacityand access bandwidth. Multiple ContentServers can be interconnected onan Ethernet fabric to provide capacity and bandwidth scalability.AllContentServers in a MediaGrid system participate in storing andretrieving data for clients. When a client makes a file request, itconnects to multiple ContentServers that either store or retrieve filedata as requested by the client. Since many ContentServers are active inall read and write operations, the clients benefit from the aggregateperformance of these ContentServers and see file access speeds farbetter than traditional networked storage systems.The ContentServer 1042 is 1rack-unit device that provides 2 TB of storage. It's designedspecifically to support configurations requiring the maximum bandwidth
