1 Avid ISIS Gateway Server Overview

Product Recovery

The procedures to recover your Avid ISIS File Gateway server is included in the appendix of
the Avid ISIS Setup Guide. The Product Recovery procedure is the same procedure used for
the Avid ISIS System Director.
The Product Recovery restores the Avid specific Windows 2008 Storage Server operating
system and the hardware drivers for the AS3000 64-bit server. It does not restore the Avid
ISIS software. The Avid ISIS software must be reinstalled separately, after the operating
system recovery is complete.

File Gateway Server Client

A File Gateway uses a 1 Gb Ethernet connection to communicate with the Avid ISIS
architecture. The File Gateway server displays, creates, and delete files within the Avid ISIS
shared storage network system through the Windows operating system as shares that are
mapped to drive letters.
