Storing the Streams on another server

It is possible to locate the InnoCielo streams folder, on another machine than the EDM Server is running on. At this moment this has been verified to work with Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Novell NetWare 3.2 only. Other platforms, such as SAMBA based shares, were not tested and may or may not work, depending on the configuration possibilities.

To be able to achieve this, a number of conditions have to be met:

• The EDM Server must run under a different account than the default Local System account. The account used should have full access to the location where the streams are to be stored.
• A high-bandwidth, low-latency connection between the EDM Server and the Streams server, 100Mbit/s but preferably faster. Because the network traffic between the EDM Server and the Streams server is high volume, a dedicated connection is a must.
• If the streams are stored on a Novell NetWare server use of the Gateway Service for NetWare on the EDM Server machine is required. This means the EDM Server must be running on Windows Server. Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional are not supported.
