Storage Solutions for Media and Entertainment

High Performance for 4K/8K Content Creation

Creating and editing rely heavily on storage access speed and responsiveness. With support of high-speed NVMe SSD, 100GbE connectivity, and RDMA technology, our storage solutions deliver extremely high performance and reduced latency to handle demanding M&E workflows. Our storage solutions can support up to 250 streams of ProRes 422 HQ 4K video at 60 frames per second (fps) and 28 streams of uncompressed DPX 12-bit 4K video at 24 fps. This provides a highly efficient collaboration environment and ensures that you can deliver compelling stories on time, without encountering any performance bottlenecks.

GS U.2 NVMe hybrid flash storage perfectly meets the needs of 4K/8K video editing, VFX, and rendering workloads, and GS SAS HDD storage is well-suited for HD/4K video editing, content delivery, and media asset management (MAM).

Effortlessly Store Media Materials

High-density EonStor GS models in 4U 60/90-bay form factors easily fit in a limited rack space. A single GS appliance in 4U 90-bay design can provide up to 1.5PB of usable storage capacity.

High-density models enable you to store more media materials using fewer appliances. As a result, there will be fewer appliances to manage, along with reduced switch ports required, lower total power consumption, and notably, less rack space needed — all contributing to a lower total cost of ownership.

Scale Your Storage Flexibly as Your Media Assets Grow

With scale-out and scale-up capabilities offered by our storage solutions, you can expand both performance and capacity on demand. This eliminates the need to forecast future storage requirements or manage data silos, saving you additional costs and efforts.

When connected to a JB expansion enclosure, a single GS appliance can hold up to 800 drives. As your media assets or performance demands grow, scale-out to up to 4 GS appliances as one storage system. Overall, the solution can provide up to 70PB of usable capacity.

Industry Leading Software Support

You can seamlessly integrate our storage solutions with your post-production workflows, which use industry-leading post-production software like Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and NUKE.

Optimize Storage Efficiency

Storage auto-tiering function automatically places ongoing projects on the high-performance SSD tier, while finalized projects are moved to the less expensive HDD tier, which allows M&E companies to avoid wasting expensive storage resources on data that doesn't require it.

To accelerate access to applications and files from ongoing post-production workflows, our storage solutions offer SSD cache, acting as cache to HDDs.

Protect Your Media Content

Our storage solutions feature redundant controller design that ensures smooth and uninterrupted collaborative workflow and eliminates downtimes caused by single controller failure, preventing any disruptions in data access.

With RAID on drives, your digital assets are protected from data loss. Furthermore, our intelligent drive recovery mechanism provides added protection against file corruption and potential hard drive failure caused by long-term operation. Smart management for SSDs allows for prolonging their lifespan and prevents multiple SSD failure. A built-in supercapacitor provides power to write data to drives during power outage.

These features ensure data integrity, prevent errors, and guarantee that your files remain secure and accessible over time.
