Online Storage

This provides the ability to manage high bandwidth video requests from multiple users in real-time. This high demand requires specialised drives and connectivity and fibre is commonly used here. This high-performance storage is the most expensive variety so if media is not being actively used then it is best to demote this media to:
Nearline Storage

Active Storage ActiveRAID

The Active Storage ActiveRAID is the evolution of high performance, high-availability RAID storage for Apple users.

Dynamic Drive Pool

The Dynamic Drive Pool offers a superior storage solution and distinguishes itself from competing storage systems based on the following features:

Superior speed and functionality - SAN speed with NAS functionality

Unique project and file level sharing - All video, film and audio post production applications can share and exchange project and media data

Easy to install, maintain and operate - One single box using standard Ethernet does it all

Cost-saving solution - Standard Ethernet instead of fibre channel means lower storage server costs due to very effective bandwidth usage

DVS SAN

The DVS SAN is the most cost-effective high performance post-production focussed SAN in the world. The combined power of DVS' twenty-five years experience of optimising disk technology and ADIC's SNFS shared filing system has produced a SAN that is making the decision to choose high data rate shared storage an easy one.

Customers include Midnight Transfer, The Moving Picture Company and The Mill.

Isilon

The Isilon Scale-out Storage Platform for High Performance, Capability and Scalability

Isilon delivers increased performance for file-based data applications and workflows, from the highest performance, I/O-intensive applications, to primary and secondary storage, to nearline archives, all from a single file system architecture.

Avid ISIS

Avid ISIS systems provide facility-wide access to media with seven layers of system redundancy; powerful yet simple management tools; and an open architecture that supports both Avid and non-Avid clients. With highly efficient and reliable delivery and massive storage capacity, plus self-healing technology in the event of a drive failure, ISIS is designed for the most demanding post and broadcast production environments.

DVS SpycerBox

The SpycerBox consists of a hardware and a software package and grants all users of the central storage system DVS-SAN immediate insights into the central storage’s contents.

Archion Synergy

The Archion add-on storage will uniquely enhance your existing SAN with the combination of our high performance hardware RAID controller and the award winning Vdisk technology, an intelligent "compatibility engine." This family of storage systems is designed to be plug-and-play with other popular SAN solutions, such as Avid Unity and Apple XSAN.

Avid Unity

Designed specifically for storing, accessing, and sharing media in collaborative workgroup environments, Avid Unity™ MediaNetwork systems offer significant advantages over simple storage area networks (SANs). Avid Unity MediaNetwork solutions integrate seamlessly into your production process to deliver real-time, high-resolution media to creative workstations. In addition, Avid Unity MediaNetwork systems offer stable performance in demanding environments; ease of administration; flexibility and scalability; and seamless interoperability with a powerful suite of asset management, media transfer, transcoding, and archiving tools.

Apple XSAN

Xsan is a 64-bit cluster file system specifically designed for small and large computing environments that demand the highest level of data availability. This specialized technology enables multiple Mac desktop and ActiveSAN systems to share RAID storage volumes over a high-speed Fibre Channel network. Each client can read and write directly to the centralized file system, accelerating user productivity while improving workgroup collaboration. Here’s how the Xsan solution works.
