Mac Avids on Isilon
posted by Michael Miller on Sept. 18, 2014, 4:56 p.m. (1 day ago)

Anyone here using Mac Avids on Isilon?  If so, can you share a little about your setup?  I have 1GbE connected Mac clients, and I can't seem to get Avid Media Composer to work with NFS shares on the Isilon.  EMC & Avid support have been of little help, except to recommend SMB and/or MXFserver as possible solutions.  SMB on Mac is not fast enough on a 1Gb connection, and my initial testing of SMB2 in Mavericks has not been a whole lot better.  MXFserver seems like a pretty good solution, but I will need to get a faily large budget first before I can actually implement that.

I was thinking perhaps iSCSI might be a solution.  Any thoughts or experiences with iSCSI on Mac anyone has?  Anyway, if anyone else has been down this road already, I would love to hear how you set it up and how it is working for you.  Thanks!
