Storage devices for radio and television industry applications supporting Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere

When building IT infrastructure in small and medium-sized media studios, in order to meet the cooperation of many people, it is often necessary to deploy an additional database server and have special database operation and maintenance personnel to maintain it. Indispensable, of course, are storage devices. Infortrend time-honored storage brand manufacturers, in-depth understanding of the needs of customers in the radio and television industry, integrated the database service functions of the industry-leading film and television editing software DaVinci Resolve in the underlying architecture of the original GS/GSe/CS and other products, and supported the mainstream film and television editing software Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. Thanks to the new technology, customers do not need server equipment when deploying IT, directly realize the database service function through Infortrend storage, realize the sharing of media materials among groups, carry out online editing of the same project file at the same time, save the progress of non-editing projects in real time, and truly realize the unity and efficient cooperation of the team.

The product advantages of Infortrend non-compiling database all-in-one machine are:

1. Easy to manage and deploy

Infortrend provides a graphical deployment and management interface EonOne, while providing two kinds of management rights, one is the multimedia editing user administrator, responsible for managing users' accounts and storage space quotas, through the "flow" deployment mode of the setup wizard, even if the media studio does not have professional IT personnel, it can help administrators to easily complete the storage space and network settings. And has a user-friendly interface to easily manage user accounts, passwords and shared folders; the other is a system administrator, allowing professional IT personnel to handle advanced storage space settings, data services and system maintenance. The intuitive storage management interface can centrally manage multiple systems, monitor the use of performance and capacity, and complete all system-related configurations.

2. The client provides software EonView for easy deployment and data sharing.

EonView is a practical client program on Windows and macOS workstations. Through the intuitive operation interface, EonView automatically discovers the IP address of GS/GSe/CS, identifies the user's account password, and automatically mounts the shared folder used by various editors. This design greatly simplifies the deployment of the storage system and the complexity of network settings, and facilitates file sharing.

3. Integration of database and storage: simplify IT architecture, centrally manage and control project engineering, improve collaboration efficiency, and ensure data security.

When Media Studio configures IT devices, it does not need to deploy an additional database server, it only needs an Infortrend storage device to complete the deployment. Infortrend is well aware of the importance of media project files, so it is equipped with database backup and recovery function, and database backup can be done manually or automatically through scheduling. In addition, there are hard disk protection mechanisms: intelligent hard disk recovery mechanism, power-off protection mechanism: supercapacitor + flash memory module protection, through these to minimize the risk of data loss. Management also has the characteristics of convenience and speed, the project leader can check everyone's work and progress through the integrated database, control the progress of the entire project, put forward modification suggestions at any time, and complete the project more effectively. In addition, the access rules of project files are established by setting the access rights of media assets data.

4.6.6 GB/s of efficient bandwidth, supporting up to 26 4K video streams

The GS/GSe product with integrated database server can not only meet the needs of multi-person collaborative editing, but also meet the bandwidth needs of media editing with its excellent performance. After testing, each group can read or write high-resolution video files with large bitstream at the same time. Using HDD, it can support up to 26 4K video streams, while using SSD can support 27 4K video streams. The highest performance of CIFS can reach 6600MB/s (read) and 3100MB/s (write). (measured data of CS to be determined)

5. Large capacity of single system 12PB

4K and 8K video data need more expansion space. Infortrend non-compiling database all-in-one machine GS/GSe series, 3000 / 4000 Gen2 supports up to 896 hard drives, a single system capacity can reach 12PB, customers can expand with business needs.

6. The after-sales service of fully modular all-in-one machine is more convenient.

The product adopts modular design, from power supply, fan, controller, host channel board, all are modular plug and unplug design, reducing the difficulty of maintenance. At the same time, provide fast and accurate technical support and RMA services to ensure the continuous and stable work of your storage system, ensure uninterrupted service, and improve the competitiveness of enterprises.

Infortrend provides different non-compiling database all-in-one machines and small film and television services within 10 workstations according to different enterprise sizes. It is recommended to use GS/GSe all-in-one machines with high performance-to-price ratio. 2000T is a cost-based solution that supports 13 4K video streams. 3000 Gen2 is a cost-effective solution that supports 18 4K video streams. 4000 Gen2 is a high-performance solution that supports 26 4K video streams.

Large-scale post-production business with more than 10 workstations is suitable for CS horizontal cluster storage. You can add more nodes to the cluster while increasing capacity and performance without disrupting the operation of the system. CS provides up to 100 + GB/s read / write bandwidth and 100 + PB capacity to easily meet the high load requirements of media services.

Both GS/GSe and CS are enterprise-class storage systems, which can be operated and run by Infortrend graphics management software EonOne. With the pre-installed DaVinci Resolve project server, editors can easily synchronize media collaborative editing. At the same time, EonView installed on Windows and macOS workstations is also supported to help the video editing team connect the workstations to the storage system and mount them to shared network storage as local hard drives.
