At booth 7.E25, DVS will present the latest generation of
its SpycerBox family. DVS has doubled the capacity of the
SpycerBox once again and has focused on the latest SAS technology,
which will be very useful to customers in post production
and broadcasting.
With the debut of the SpycerBox Flex, DVS
aims to offer the most convenient storage solution for the
user. The central media hub offers the possibilities of a
complete SAN system and proves to be a quick and cost-effective
storage solution.
Also in the NAS variant, post production houses as well as
broadcasters can integrate the SpycerBox Flex effortlessly
into their existing storage infrastructure due to the variety
of supported high-speed interfaces. The distinctive feature
of the SpycerBox is that it avails itself as a combination
of both variants. This means customers receive a highly integrated
complete package, due to which the expenditure for infrastructure
is reduced to a minimum.
Once again, the capacity of the SpycerBox
has been doubled: The SpycerBox Flex is equipped with over
28.8 TB. With its new 2.5 inch SAS technology and 48 hard
drives, the DVS storage solution sets new standards for rack
density and performance per rack unit. When configured as
SAN, SpycerBox Flex combines image data as well as metadata
storage in a five HU chassis.
This is accompanied by an improvement in performance: While
simultaneously increasing throughput, the latest 6 gigabit
SAS technology (Serial Attached SCSI) is integrated into all
hardware levels of the SpycerBox Flex: In the hard drives,
in the backplane as well as in the controllers.
Apart from using the SpycerBox Flex in the
SAS and NAS variants, customers can also use it another way:
SpycerBox Flex units can be combined to form a cluster solution.
In doing so, the capacity and bandwidth of the storage solution
are increased once again, thus fulfilling DVS customer demands
for versatility and flexibility.
Henner Steinwede, DVS Product Manager:
"The sustained performance and stability of the SpycerBox
– e.g. in the fields of third-party use and real-time
– has already found a lot of supporters among our customers
in post production and broadcasting."
