Running Pro Tools 12 HDX connected to SAN

[[email protected]]

I'd like to run Pro Tools 12.7 HDX with media (audio and video) stored on a SAN connected with Facilis Client Console through gigabit ethernet. Is this possible?

Haven't run your exact configuration but gigabit ethernet is too slow in general.

Having done something similar though. You'll need your client computers (the one running Pro Tools) loaded with RAM and your disk cache set high enough to cache the session. That is how we worked.
Picture is still an issue though (since that does not cache.) Using DNxHD36 we were able to do it (keep picture on the SAN) but it required that the full sessions be cached into the disk cache.

(In essence, after starting/opening a session and giving it time to load to the disk cache, only the picture was actually being read off of the SAN actively.)

works good with a capable SAN (or NAS in our case).

You want 10GB connections though.
