StorNext M330 MDC 

Nodes

The two StorNext M330 MDC Nodes are servers that provide storage 

and control for the StorNext  platform software (host OS and StorNext 

software). The MDC Nodes contain redundant hard drives in a RAID 1 

configuration, ensuring high availability of the system software.
