International introduced another innovative new storage solution,
this time addressing broadcasters' requirements for massive
amounts of video storage to fit within a dramatically low-profile
footprint.
The SeaChange Drawer of Drives supports up to 72 terabytes
of storage (3,300+ hours of High Definition content at 50
Mb/s) in a remarkably compact 10-inch-high chassis, giving
broadcasters a core storage system that can accommodate today's
demands, particularly as broadcasters shift to HD video workflows.
As a storage expansion chassis that is compatible with a wide
range of servers, the unit radically conserves broadcaster
operations space and power consumption. SeaChange customers
can combine the company's nearline ML1G storage server with
the offline Drawer of Drives to establish a petabyte storage
facility in support of today's increasingly demanding and
tapeless content management and production workflows.
Further, every
file stored on each of the 72 hot-swappable drives is protected
by SeaChange's patented and widely proven RAID2 (raid squared)
technology. SeaChange customers gain this unprecedented capability
in the smallest physical footprint achievable today.
"SeaChange is firmly committed to supporting broadcasters'
transition to HD with technology that increases efficiency
and reliability while also scaling as operations inevitably
evolve," said Chris West, vice president of broadcast
sales, SeaChange International. "We have always prided
ourselves on our significant investments in research and development,
and the exciting new technology that we are demonstrating
at IBC is proof positive that those investments continue to
pay off."
