The system operates initially with both media and control traffic on GigE switch “A” and K2 Media
Server “A”. Media (iSCSI) traffic is using media network “A”. The iSCSI adapters (TOEs) on the
“A” K2 Media Server provide access to the Fibre Channel connected RAID storage. K2 Media
Server “A” is the media file system/metadata server.
