ContentDirectors manage and direct the overall operation of Harmonic MediaGrid. They enable
clients to interact with the system by creating and presenting a single virtual file system
constructed from Harmonic MediaGrid’s many individual ContentServer storage devices.
The ContentDirector 1000E and the High Performance ContentDirector 2000B have the same
front and rear panel components and same functionality. However, the High Performance
ContentDirector 2000B includes additional memory and a solid state drive to increase
performance.
