New mMedia by Active Storage

January 11th, 2012
Comments Off

180TB of storage in 4U of rackspace!

mMedia is more than a collection of components, it’s a complete media creation storage platform that stores and manages content from ingest to archive.

The combination of mRAID and ActiveSAN can meet any on-line media production challenge. Nothing can scale to more users, greater resolutions, or higher throughputs, all with the lowest latency and easiest deployment and management using all the production tools and asset management software you are using today.

mRAID is unlike any storage you have used in a creative workflow. It’s fast, smart, scalable and easy. Best of all, it’s built on industry standards utilizing the same rock-solid Linux foundation of the Active Storage ActiveRAID. And with thousands of ActiveRAIDs in the field powering the top names in post production and broadcast, you can rely on mRAID to deliver the same level of highly available operation and on-going reliability.

mVault – its all about content, your content and where you keep it, and how you keep it safe. mVault is quite simply the very-high-density storage expansion component of the mMedia platform.

mMedia is powerful yet simple. As a building block technology, mMedia provides all the components needed to build end-to-end workflows. And beause the mRAID is the heart of mMedia, future applications can meet future needs.
