Kaleidescape 3U Server
KSERVER-5000
Storage for up to 3,600 DVDs or 600 Blu-ray Discs
Servers group to store thousands of movies and albums
Proprietary RAID-K technology
Up to 45 simultaneous DVD movie or music zones
Up to 5 simultaneous Blu-ray movie zones
The Kaleidescape 3U Server was designed
from the ground up to store movies and music
reliably on a modern array of hard disk drives
without compression or loss of quality. Designed
to fit into home entertainment systems, the
3U Server is highly scalable and able to continue
operating even after a drive failure, without losing
any content.
As your collection grows, you can add additional
disk cartridges to increase storage capacity
for your movies and music. A single 3U Server
provides storage capacity for up to 3,600 DVDs
or 600 Blu-ray Discs. Servers can be grouped
into a single system to store thousands of movies
and albums.
The Kaleidescape 3U Server provides fail-safe
storage for your collection using a proprietary disk
storage technology called RAID-K. If a drive fails,
data is automatically restored to the hot spare disk
cartridge and no content is lost. The failed drive is
replaced without turning off the server or disrupting
playbacks in progress.
The Kaleidescape 3U Server delivers movies
and music, over a standard residential network,
simultaneously to Kaleidescape players throughout
the home. Once movies and music are stored on
your 3U Server, they can be enjoyed immediately
from any player. For Blu-ray, playback must be
enabled by the presence of the physical disc in one
of your M500 Players or a Kaleidescape disc vault.
