Sure. DataCore makes storage controller software - like what you would normally find as embedded software/firmware on large external storage controllers - except it is portable and runs on open systems. You install this on a pc and it puts a snap-in to the MMC. This is now a dedicated storage server (or a SAN) Any storage that the PC can "see" (internal, external, RAID, USB etc)can be brought into the pool(s), and you in turn use the software to create a "disk" or LUN, then present it over your network to any of the other computers on it. To them, it looks like a raw disk that they initialize, format, and begin using. There is a descrption of it on the website at: http://datacore.com/products/prod_SANmelodyLite.asp and some flash movies of the inerface at: http://www.datacore.com/vmreg/videos/videoindex.asp I'd recommend checking out the "exchange server" one and consider that this would be the "Slimserver" in your own system. -- ob_kook SB2 --> Axiom passive pre --> Portal Paladin monoblocks --> Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ob_kook's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1383 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38468 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
