The easiest way to implement just:store to your network is by having a DHCP server which takes care of the IP configuration of the server and clients. Advanced users may have different requirements, so this page lists some network topologies.
|
Every client is connected to a network interface port of the just:store system.
As every client has a dedicated connection to just:store, every client is allowed to have a different network speed.
We suggest using this topology for editing, playout and ingest workstations to get the maximum performance for each client computer.
This topology is for a higher number of clients which all connect to just:store via a single connection to a 10 Gbit switch.
The switch may connect to the internet over a firewall.
Every client is connected either by 1 Gbit or 10 Gbit to the switch.
We suggest using this topology for playout, ingest and editing workstations with less data throughput.
This topology is for a higher number of clients which all connect to just:store via a bonded connection to a 10 Gbit switch.
Bonding either allows you to have a more secure connection (in case one connection breaks) and/or a faster connection.
The switch may connect to the internet over a firewall.
Every client is connected either by 1 Gbit or 10 Gbit to the switch. Do not mix 1 Gbit and 10 Gbit interfaces.
We suggest using this topology for numerous playout, ingest and editing workstations. Please keep in mind that the bond configuration will have a maximal available bandwidth which depends on the configuration.
This topology is for a lower number of clients which all connect to just:store.
In this case, we are using multiple 10 GBit connections to the switch, which are shown as colored lines in the figure below. You can also use 1 Gbit connection, but do not mix 1 and 10 Gbit interfaces.
just:store has routes defined, i.e. it sends network packets to the switch and the switch sends the packets to their destination.
With this setup, you connect a switch to a single network interface port of the just:store system. Clients are connected to the switch. On just:store routes will be defined, resulting in a dedicated connection for each client, so they cannot communicate with each other.
Every client is connected either by 1 Gbit or 10 Gbit to the switch.
We suggest using this topology only playout or ingest workstations with very small data throughput, due to the fact that there is the limitation of one interface either 1Gbit or 10Gbit.
