Data Storage Solutions, SAN-Storage area networks by Rorke Data

Tired of searching for a tape on a shelf, finding the correct format VTR and dubbing the desired material onto your broadcast video server? With VideoVault you can increase your storage by 4, 8, or 12TB at a fraction of the cost associated with On-Air storage. VideoVault allows any video facility the ability to store, catalog, search, and retrieve massive amounts of video media. By moving your valuable media assets off the shelf onto Near-Line storage, users are able to realize the dream of digitizing material once and publishing to everyone.

VideoVault is a network based storage system available in various RAID configurations, including RAID 6. By integrating both the hardware (storage), and software (archive management), Rorke Data has effectively mitigated the risk associated with buying and integrating a multiple manufacturer solution.

By adhering to standardized interface and protocol and using standard off the shelf hardware Rorke Data allows your facility to realize a best of breed solution that will grow as your requirements evolve. Further to this because of the way the Near-Line storage is managed, your cost for storage (cost/GB) actually decreases as your storage requirements increase.
