Kaleidescape Premiere Line Installation Guide
Overview
Data Protection
Every server in the Premiere line includes
RAID-K technology
, a proprietary
technology developed by Kaleidescape to provide data protection for movies
and music. With RAID-K technology, a failed hard drive should not cause any
loss of data.
Unlike other variations of RAID technology, RAID-K allows new drives with
different storage capacities to be added to the array. However, RAID-K
technology does NOT allow swapping used disk cartridges between servers.
