Storage Management for High Performance Workflow and Intelligent Archiving
SANXtream enables systems to share a high speed pool of images, media,
content, analytical data, and other key digital assets so files can be
processed and distributed quicker. Even in heterogeneous environments
such as Windows, OSX, Linux, Solaris, AIX and IRIX, all files are easily
accessible to all hosts – SAN or LAN.
When performance is key, SANXtream recommends Fibre Connectivity to achieve throughput that extends
over 10 GBps. For cost efficiency and fan-out, SANXtream offers LAN based
access using clustered gateway systems with resiliency and throughput
that outperforms traditional network sharing methods. This shared
platform fabric allows all editors, effects artists, designers, animators,
and colorists to access the same file and freely collaborate across the board.
All of this occurs instantaneously and simultaneously.
For long term data storage, SANXtream expands pools into multi-tier archives, automatically moving data between different disk and tape
resources to reduce costs and protect content. Data location is virtualized so that any file can easily be accessed for re-use, even if it resides on tape. Additional cost savings can be achieved using DRS, Data Reduction Storage, which provides content-specific data reduction using Stornext’s patented de-duplication technology. |
