DVS presents its SpycerBox
as a flexible storage solution at booth no. SL2612 at this
year's NAB. SpycerBox may be used both as a NAS solution with
integrated storage and as a file server or DVS-SAN backup.
This novel cluster approach is based on the new SpycerLink
technology, which allows the SpycerBox to be integrated into
individual workflows that may be adjusted to meet the growing
requirements of customers.
The Linux-based cluster solution offers an auto-connectivity
option: The cluster – which consists of at least one
SpycerBox – is easily scalable and expandable with additional
cluster nodes. Thanks to a DVS import gate, the storage solution
is independent of location and it is also equipped with data
encryption features to offer customers highest security in
addition to flexibility. Other features include archiving
options and sophisticated caching algorithms. Thanks to its
single point of administration, the cluster solution is very
simple to manage. Customers also benefit from time-controlled
and policy-controlled backup and restore features.
With its internal, RAID 5-protected storage the SpycerBox
offers storage capacities for 24 TB of data material –
all in a highly compact, single box. The SpycerBox cluster
solution comes with the innovative Spycer® data management
software, which enables high-speed copying as well as browsing
and editing of image data and their metadata. Thanks to an
InfiniBand interface, multiple 20-Gb/s streams are possible
within the cluster, both between individual nodes and to the
systems comprising the workflow. Customers have a wide variety
of interfaces at their disposal: In addition to InfiniBand,
SpycerBox also offers 4-Gb/s Fibre Channel, 1-Gb/s and 10-Gb/s
Ethernet, eSATA, FireWire® and USB.
Markus Kohaupt, DVS Product Manager: "The modular architecture
of the SpycerBox offers our customers a significant added
value. To meet individual workflow design requirements, our
SpycerBox-based cluster solution is scalable, enabling it
to grow with our customers and their individual needs. We
will present our new cluster solutions to the visitors of
the NAB 2008 exhibition."
