Configuring Server Storage/NAS
DW Spectrum provides an easy and flexible storage management policy. Each Server can use an unlimited number of
local and network storage paths. If more than one storage location is used the Media Server will automatically balance
the space consumption. The more free space the storage has, the higher the usage intensity will be.
Storage is considered to be a separate hard disk partition. If a partition has more than 100 Gb of free space, DW
Spectrum uses it automatically.
Additionally it is possible to add network storage locations (NAS).
To configure Server Storage:
1. Open the Server Settings.
2. Go to Storage Management tab:
