    FOR SALE: 6TB Drive for 1u/3u Brand New

    Are these still available? I assume they have not been assigned to a server yet? Thank you

    Switches for 2017

    I don't think anyone disagrees that Ruckus is high quality hardware. However, it was the price point and access ( of Ruckus) that helped Ubiquity become who they are today. With Ruckus recently selling their wireless business, I wonder what the future holds. I would also argue that that...

    Design assumptions of Strato ????

    I have been out of the loop for a while. What segment of 4K is missing? Is it a studio (s), or is it 3D? I don't mean to open wounds. Maybe someone can point me in the direction of an answer? Thank you

    New Premire server announced!!

    So, with the 1U+ and the outlook mostly on the Encore line. Is there a process where one can just turn in their 1U Premier hardware for Encore? Is it an even swap for a Strata C and a Terra server?

    Switches for 2017

    That is the power of the unify line, the controller. You can use aniPads /iPhone app or your laptop download, as the controller. However, the real juice is when you add a $99 cloud key and you can access the whole config remotely, without vpn, etc. There is also secure router option and an...

    Switches for 2017

    I have been using ubiquity edge switches for a while as well. Their Unify line is largely the same thing, though adds a snazzy Apple like user interface. Also more $$ I also use their wifi products, which are the best I have ever used. I concur, the learning curve is steep, as you expand, but...

    Needed or Wanted changes to carry Kaleidescape forward

    Music I think the addition of Roon and/or Tidal would be great. The space a music collection would consume is minor.

    FOR SALE: Kaleidescape TERRA SERVER 24TB. Only Six months Old !!!

    Thankfully, the courageous Dovetail has signed up to save us from our selves. I suspect that if you are trading on this board, you are acutely aware of K situation when purchasing hardware.

    George Luca's takes the gloves off around Disney! The White Slaver of Children...

    I am sure that people have seen this in the news. So before this interview magically disappears from the internet forever. It's worth watching. Personally I completely agree with Mr Luca's and his view on Disney and what they focused on in the latest episode of Star Wars...

    4tb vs 6tb cost and availability

    I agree that their smaller, cooler and more efficient. However, K has always made the case that the 5x markup on their hard drives is due their warranty on disks. The failure rate of SSD drives is a fraction of normal HD's. So assuming K keeps the similar $1,000 price point and assuming...

    4tb vs 6tb cost and availability

    You know that is the direction its going. Samsung will sell you a 16TB SSD drive for $7k. Which is a little ironic as 7k is roughly the same price of a new 4x4T 1U... Of course, the failure rate for an SSD is a fraction of normal drives, so theoretically, the mark up on SSD drives from K...

    Question from Kaleidescape: What's your Internet speed?

    Here in NYC, with TWC. What they say you get and what you actually get are very different. We are supposed to get 300/30. What I actually get tends to be in the 100-130MBS/11-15mbs range. I had talked about getting TWC business, which given you much slower speeds but guarantees the speed is...
