Failover Clustering
SCC MediaServer has been designed to be compatible with Server clustering technologies such as those provided by Microsoft and Veritas, and we have a number of installations using this technology. Although combining multiple server functions on a single machine is possible and is commonly done, a clustered configuration provides maximum availability of server resources as well as providing maximum fault tolerance in data and hardware redundancy.

In the event of hardware or operating system failure of either node then the system Adminstrator can choose to easily failover the MediaServer system and its associated applications from the failed node to the working one.

Disk Storage (MediaServer Enterprise and Express Editions)
Disk storage requirements are split between that need for the database and that need for the high-resolution files.

Disk storage for the database can be calculated at 100kb each for any record which contains previews (photos, graphics, PDF's etc) and 15kb each for any text record, assignment record etc.

Disk storage for the high-resolution files is based on the actual size of each file. You will need to check the average size of each of your photos, graphics, PDF's etc., and multiply by the number you already have PLUS the number you expect to store in the next x years.

Note that high resolution files can be placed on any network attachable device that can be mounted by the server. i.e. on one or more NAS devices, Jukeboxes, SAN devices etc. Additional high-res storage can be easily added later as necessary.
