ISIS 5000
The benchmark for affordable shared storage
Avid ISIS 5000 shared storage sets a new value benchmark
for reliable, flexible, high performance media access. With
up to 90 client connections, 144TB useable capacity, and the
reliable linear performance of ISIS, the power to boost your
productivity and competitiveness has never been more
affordable.
Based on the leading storage software for real time media
production – the ISIS File System – ISIS 5000 provides the same
real time media access, intelligent self-balancing data architecture,
and predictable, linear scalability as the enterprise ISIS 7000
(formerly Unity ISIS) product range.
ISIS technology is unmatched in efficiently harnessing bandwidth
to support media production and every ISIS 5000 model meets
Avid’s high standards for real-time editorial workflow support,
backed by the most rigorous testing and verification in the
industry.
ISIS 5000 is extremely easy to use. Installation and
network configuration software wizards combine to minimize
set-up time and effort. The new ISIS 5000 Management Console
simplifies user management (including LDAP support) and
storage management and its comprehensive yet intuitive
monitoring and diagnostics have never before been available
in this class of storage system.
Facility fit is assured with a choice of capacity ranges
that scale from 16 TB or 32 TB to 96 or 192 TB, and up to 90
switched client connections. Each ISIS 5000 Storage Engine
houses sixteen 1 TB or 2 TB disk drives arrayed in three 4+1
RAID5 sets plus a hot spare drive. The ISIS 5000 Engine
houses an ISIS System Director CPU that performs system
metadata management. The System Director is protected with
mirrored, field-replaceable system drives and if needed,
operation can easily shift to the System Director in a
different Engine. Depending on the model, four 1Gbit
Ethernet ports or a 10Gbit Ethernet port provide
connectivity to one or two external switches, or directly
connect to four 1Gbit clients.
ISIS 7000
Advanced media network for enterprise-class reliability,
availability, and scalability
Avid ISIS 7000 combines high performance, scalability and
availability with powerful yet simple to use management tools
and an open architecture. Each Avid ISIS 7000 Engine
delivers up to 400 MB/s of useable bandwidth, predictable,
linear performance, sustained even as client counts
increase, right up to 8 GB/s – easily meeting the challenge
of large installations or the most demanding and ambitious
uncompressed HD real-time workflows.
In addition to high performance storage, Avid ISIS 7000 economically
handles temporary, longer term, and less bandwidth-intensive
needs. Choose ISIS Mirroring for highest real time performance
or exceptional ISIS RAID 6 protection for 50% greater capacity.
Both ISIS Mirroring and ISIS RAID 6 can be deployed in a single
ISIS 7000 system for optimal, cost-effective management of every
on-line storage and access need.
Avid ISIS 7000 is based on a highly scalable, self-balancing
distributed architecture. Each storage blade includes its own
processor, so when you add capacity, you also add intelligent
processing power.
- Client scalability. With the tested and
proven ability to scale up to 330 real-time clients, you
can rely on Avid ISIS 7000 as your workflow or facility
grows. From editors to loggers, journalists and
producers, your valuable media assets are now easily
accessible to users across the enterprise.
- Asset scalability. Avid ISIS 7000 expands
to 1536TB raw capacity, or 768TB useable with ISIS
Mirroring data protection.
- Gateway access. For non-real time storage needs
such as graphics, stills, text or low-res video, any Windows,
Mac, or Linux workstation can access and use ISIS storage
through the ISIS File Gateway.
