Amsterdam - Studio Network Solutions (SNS), a provider of postproduction storage systems for audio and video, is showcasing Evo, its shared storage system, at IBC 2008.
Also being demonstrated is the Ellipse Enterprise 4-Gbps Fibre Channel HBA, which enables Mac OS X workstations and servers to utilize the high-availability features found in enterprise-class, multiple RAID-controller storage arrays from IBM, EMC, LSI, and others. In addition, the latest release of SANmp with new features is being shown.
Evo offers file sharing, volume sharing, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, NAS, and up to 24 Terabytes per system. Each unit now also includes 4 seats of SANmp and 4 seats of Postmap, a powerful metadata management application that lets users tag and quickly locate files on the storage system.
The Ellipse Enterprise Fibre Channel Adapter addresses the goal of integrating Mac systems into the corporate storage strategy. The Ellipse Enterprise driver was engineered, tested, and optimized for today’s most throughput-intensive digital media, offering the ability to effortlessly handle uncompressed HD video and up to 4K film resolution.
SANmp enables computers to concurrently share massive amounts of data over high-speed Fibre and iSCSI Storage Networks, resulting in increased workflow since all users can capture, record, and edit directly onto the storage system, eliminating the need to copy files locally. SANmp requires no servers or metadata controllers.
