 Avid intros new RAID solutions
 
 May 5, 2008
  by GV staff
On Monday, Avid announced the next generation of its high-performance storage disk arrays -- Avid VideoRAID ST and Avid VideoRAID SR solutions -- which combine real-time performance, cost-effective SATA drive technology, and the security of failsafe data protection in the event of a disk drive failure.
Unlike other RAID solutions that may be unusable during a drive rebuild, Avid VideoRAID solutions help customers keep up with the fast pace of digital content creation by maintaining full performance and data protection, while rebuilding the drives in the background. Customers will also be able to take advantage of real-time playback of up to two streams of uncompressed HD on as few as eight Avid VideoRAID drives.
Available in a five-drive tower (ST) or a 16-drive rack mount (SR) configuration, Avid VideoRAID ST/SR disk arrays support a wide range of Avid editing systems, including the recently announced Media Composer, Symphony Nitris and NewsCutter family of products, as well as third-party applications, via an industry-standard SAS interconnect. The products provide the protection of parity through the use of RAID, which can handle multiple streams of uncompressed SD and HD media and offer a capacity ranging from 2.5 TB to 16 TB per editing system.
Other features include removable controllers, drives, and power supplies that can be replaced in the field, as well as redundant power supplies (VideoRAID SR models). Avid’s new VideoRAID ST/SR storage configurations are expected to ship Q2 2008.
