Storage Solutions for Post-Production Workflows

How Post-Production Houses Benefit from 8Gb Fibre Channel SAN Storage

Performance means No Dropped Frames

In the world of NLE editing and post production, driven by deadlines and deliverables, storage is a means to an end. When you are working toward a final, perfect, master, and creating the story from the most compelling footage and effects, you need storage that just works. With AssuredSAN™ storage from Dot Hill, you have fast, reliable storage that is easy to set up and run.

The Right Partners

You never want to send an editor to lunch just because the storage can’t handle the workload. That won’t happen when you rely on AssuredSAN storage from Dot Hill - because our 8Gb Fibre Channel storage arrays can double or quadruple storage throughput over older 4Gb or 2Gb technologies. It’s time to move up to the ‘top of the line’ 8Gb fibre channel array. When you aren’t dropping frames, the rendering process runs at your pace, without losing valuable time to reboots and ‘start overs’.

‘Top of the Line’ Gear

Dot Hill’s AssuredSAN storage arrays are an essential part of your gear, offering full support for both Windows, OSX and Linux environments provides the ideal high-performance storage platform for workflows using Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Autodesk Smoke or any application demanding extreme streaming performance and proven reliability.

AssuredSAN’s 6Gb internal architecture produces faster write performance, saving even more time on playbacks and streaming.

By utilizing high performance AssuredSAN storage array, the 8Gb fibre channel throughput enables several editors to access the same storage at the same time.
