STORAGE SERVER
SeaChange ITV MediaCluster: Patented approach that combines several media servers to act as one server; every server node is directly connected to every other node so there is no single point of failure; each server has its own multichannel input-output (I-O) hardware and a redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID); when a file is stored to a media cluster it's not just written to all disks in the node, it's also being written across every disk in every node in the cluster; this is called RAID-squared because the load is balanced and there are no hot spots; due to the cluster configuration, every output has equal access.
