The Highest Performing RAID Storage Solution for HD

RS8 | HDS

Award-winning Video RAID Storage for High Definition Media Production

Product Overview

The RS8-HDS SCSI-to-SATA RAID system has been engineered, from the ground up, to satisfy the media storage requirements of today’s video production professional. A pair of powerful RAID controllers support multi-stream playback of full, uncompressed, 10-bit 1080I video while sixteen SATAII drives provide sufficient storage capacity to satisfy the most demanding HD productions. In addition, RS8-HDS systems incorporate the latest in data protection technologies in order to minimize downtime and, thus, maximize overall system productivity.

Video editors can finally harness the power to capture, edit and render at full, uncompressed, broadcast quality without any compromise.

Powerful Management Features

Every aspect of the design of the RS8-HDS has been considered with a view toward maximizing system security, reliability and serviceability; obviously, having the fastest data performance available would be negated if a drive failure made that data inaccessible. The on-board

RAID controllers are fully programmable to support up to RAID Level 5 so that media remains accessible even with the loss of two of the 16 hard drives. In the event of a drive failure, hot-swappable drive modules allow for the replacement of the defective drive without system interruption. Further, hot-swappable cooling modules and redundant power supplies maximize system “up-time” and permit servicing while the systems remain online.

Industry Proven HD Storage Solution

The RS8-HDS is all about performance. Two embedded 64-bit

“X-Scale-Core” storage engines eliminate the bottlenecks normally associated with SATA RAID systems and allow full use of the Ultra320

SCSI data pipeline. An internal 333MHz system-data bus further minimizes any potential bottlenecks by increasing burst performance up to 2.7Gb/s. Finally, sixteen high-capacity SATAII hard drives provide the data capacity (up to 12TB) required to sustain high-resolution, uncompressed, video production. All of this technology combines to make the RS8-HDS the fastest, highest capacity, most capable

SCSI-to-SATA video RAID system currently available on the market.
