Storage for Audio/Video ProfessionalsiStor's Virtual Storage Array technology is ideal for rich media applications. Powered by a 10GbE custom media acceleration engine, iStor delivers both the bandwidth needed for sharing and transferring large files as well as the low latency required to prevent any dropped frames while rendering. |

Affordable Shared Storage for Rich Media Files
iStor's iSCSI Virtual Storage Technology bridges the gap between direct attached drives and expensive Fibre Channel SAN's. Now even small production facilities can take advantage of the increased workflow efficiencies of a SAN without breaking the bank. Broadcast and post-production facilities can share a single set of media files among multiple editing systems. Media files are instantly accessible from multiple editing systems. Storage capacity and bandwidth can be scaled as needed.
- High direct attached port count eliminates the need for switches for small facilities
- 4x1GbE, 8x1GbE or 1x10GbE configurations
- Eliminates RAID cards in workstations
- Free iSCSI initiators eliminate need for HBAs
- Work stations/laptops can connect directly to the storage via Ethernet (up to 8)
- Connect up to 1024 workstations via Ethernet switches
- Cost effective and simple storage growth to accommodate future requirement
- Scales from 3TB to 84TB
- Enterprise class RAID protection
Uncompromised Performance for HD Video
iStor's 10GbE iSCSI architecture guarantees optimal performance under even the most demanding conditions. The multiple host connection options (4x1GbE, 8x1GbE and 10GbE) assure that there is a configuration that matches your requirements. The purpose built Storage Engine makes iStor the perfect solution for multi user HD work flows, providing enough bandwidth and performance for real time playback or rendering of uncompressed sequences.

Spend More Time Editing and Less Time Managing Your Storage
Virtual Storage Technology makes iStor storage the easiest system to manage, requiring no storage expertise. Traditional RAID systems require you to pre-configure drives and commit them to a predefined RAID type. Virtual storage technology allows you to easily change volume compositions on the fly as your project needs change.
 |
- Intuitive GUI makes management a breeze
- Configure your storage in minutes
- Dynamically change RAID types to match performance and capacity needs
- Dynamically grow volumes as project needs grow
- Mix drive sizes for maximum flexibility
