Line 8: StorNext has both software and hardware elements. On the front end, the filesystem is managed by usually two [[Metadata controller]]s, a primary and a failover or a metadata appliance. These MDC's act as the traffic director for the block-level filesystem with no data-overhead typically associated with [[Network-attached storage\|NAS]] configured network shares. Fibre Channel ~~storage~~connectivity is ~~the other~~a key element of most StorNext filesystem implementations. This is often referred to as "Production SAN" or "Production Storage Workspace." In verticals such as oil & gas, [[InfiniBand]] ~~storage~~connectivity is sometimes used. Client systems are not required to run the same operating system to access a shared filesystem containing StorNext data. As of January 2008, the operating systems with available client software are [[Microsoft Windows]], [[macOS]] (as [[Xsan]] developed by Apple), [[Red Hat Linux]], [[SuSE Linux]], [[HP-UX]], [[Solaris (operating system)\|Solaris]], [[AIX]], and [[IRIX]].
