[SBE] TV Automation questions

[Honigs, William S]

I would suggest a good RAID 5 configured storage system.   In fact two independent RAID 5 system fully mirrored.   It really depends on their size and budget.  How important is it to them if the RAID should happen to fail?  The 2nd system is a backup and could save them from a lot of heartache.

Subject: [SBE] TV Automation questions

I'm helping out a local independent TV station that's looking to upgrade its master control room.  They are using Masterplay, and are rethinking their current server configuration.  Right now, they have one main server with multiple storage drives.  They are wondering if that's a viable setup, or if they should explore other options.

What's the best way to implement Masterplay in a master control setting?  How do we design hardware redundancy into the system (i.e. RAID, spare servers, etc.)?

I know next to nothing about Masterplay.  I'm just trying to do a little research for them ahead of coming up with a plan.  So I figured I'd see what other Masterplay users are doing.

Thanks in advance for your input!
