  • Share data instead of replicating
  • Maintain QoS with real-time data
  • Serve multiple SD, HD, 2K & 4K streams

 

Workflow efficiency and cost savings drive the gathering, production and delivery of data across a heterogenous system environment. S2A enables collaborative workflow efficiencies via unique DirectRAID real-time storage acceleration, virtualization and system consolidation. S2A technology is an ideal platform for a wide variety of shared file systems.

S2A systems scale elegantly with shared storage applications to eliminate independent storage islands, performance bottlenecks and enables multi-tier open solution architectures. Parallel storage capabilities elevates the performance of heterogeneous shared file systems across both Fibre Channel and InfiniBand fabrics to provide real-time streaming of rich file formats and large streams concurrently from multiple systems with low latency. The DirectOS data management engine ensures real-time quality of performance and can sustain full system performance even in the event of spurious media errors.


 

S2A Storage systems power shared storage environments to deliver the raw performance, parallelism, scalability and quality of service are used to enable collaborative data access for a number of applications, including:
  • Broadcast and Satellite Ingest
  • Digital Intermediate
  • Media Asset Management
  • High-Performance Computing
  • Post-Production
  • Seismic Data Processing

  Highlight: The S2A Shared SAN File System Solution

  • High-Performance S2A Storage Appliances enable up to 6GB/s per system
  • Low-latency DirectRAID performance to support broadcast/ingest quality of performance
    • Scale performance from 1-250GB/s in a single volume – tens to hundreds of concurrent streams
    • Up to four concurrent 4K streams per S2A9900
    • Up to twelve concurrent 2K streams per S2A9900
  • Share data across Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac systems
  • Shared SAN file system enables high-speed concurrent file access
  • Enterprise configuration with no single point of failure
  • Automatic Data Migration Enables Tiered-Storage
    • Deploy Low Latency SAS or Fibre-Channel Storage for Priority Data
    • Migrate data onto SATA storage over time to increase cost efficiency
  • Automatic Data Migration Enables Tiered-Storage
  • Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) intelligently manages data through the information lifecycle – utilizing high capacity, cost-efficient SATA storage for long term data archiving.
