Hello,

Could someone give me some advice? I am new to the Mac world. I am very interested in learning all I can about the Apple equipment that my company has purchased.

It is a (4) seat FCP editing configuation. It includes (4) servers – Gateway, Directory, Metadata – (4) clients and 21T of RAID storage.

What magazines, websites, classes, and/or books can be studied to better understand and maintain this equipment?

Thanks
Junior

Well… the setup you are talking about sounds a lot like XSAN, which is a fairly complex storage system. Some good places to start learning about it:

Apple’s XSAN Administrator’s Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/xsan/XsanAdminGuide.pdf

Apple Pro Training Series: XSAN Quick Reference Guide

To learn about FCP:

To learn about Mac OS X Server:

You should keep in mind that these books are definately not ALL you are going to need to know about running an XSAN… it is a fairly complex system. The best thing to do is to get someone who is very knowledgeable about it and learn from them while working on it.

Best,
Phil
