Provides storage and speed needed for over 900 hours of uncompressed, high-definition 1080i video footage and 30,000 hours of uncompressed standard-definition video
New Delhi, India, 1 November, 2009: At the recently concluded Broadcast India 2009 event in Mumbai, India, Netweb Technologies—the Server, Storage and HPC solutions provider—unveiled its modified flexible storage solution (FS2) for broadcast and media industry that is expected to significantly change traditional storage area network (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) markets. With key features, including scalability up to 384 TB, transfer speeds up to 2GB/s when used with InfiniBand, and input/output unification [with speeds ranging from gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel (FC) to 10/20/40Gb/s InfiniBand and with the option to use these network technologies either singly or in combination], this next generation unified FS2 can store more than 900 hours of uncompressed, high-definition 1080i video footage and 30,000 hours of uncompressed standard-definition (SD) video. Plus, a GUI and Web based management system makes FS2 deployment easy and fast.
“We could sense that the storage devices need to be designed specifically for some demanding applications. Hence, we wanted our unified and really flexible storage solution to extend to specific requirements of our broadcast and media customers”, said Sanjay Lodha, CEO of Netweb Technologies.
By unifying NAS and SAN in one box, FS2 gives users the flexibility to use the solution as a NAS or a SAN, or both, apart from being compatible with FC to support legacy infrastructure. FS2 for broadcast and media has been engineered with the highest performance technologies to support some of the most demanding media sharing workflows, combines a large number of simultaneous video streams with huge scalability, and supports Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X clients. It delivers adequate bandwidth for working in high-definition (HD) video or to support multiple streams of uncompressed standard-definition (SD) video with real-time effects. Furthermore, FS2 supports unified connectivity to FC, InfiniBand, 10G and Ethernet configurations.
“These are troubled times, and in these times we want our products and solutions to meet customer demands even more by performing multiple functionalities, offering multiple configurations and superb performance and, above all, not hurting the wallet. We have designed this product considering all of these parameters,” added Sanjay.
