Xsan Update

At the beginning of the year I wrote about how we were using Apple's Xsan with our Avid edit bays. I get an email a week or so about that post asking for more details etc, showing that there are other people who don't want to pay the huge costs for Avid's storage solutions. I not sure if anyone else has actually rolled it out or not, but after 6 months of using it in our facility I can safely say that it works very well.

The Xsan is Apple's best bet for getting into post house where they were never considered before. And with FCP 5, they are virtually neck and neck with Avid Media Composer. Now the only really big thing missing is project and bin sharing. To bad it didn't make it this year.
