EonStor GS Scale-Out Unified Storage Accelerates Media Post-Production

TAIPEI,Nov. 9,2021 --Infortrend® Technology,Inc.(TWSE: 2495),the industry-leading enterprise storage provider,has launched EonStor GS scale-out unified storage capable to significantly speed up post-production collaboration on 4K/8K ultra-high resolution media. The solution offers flexible expandability of performance and capacity to dozens-of-PB for media projects.

When several independent storages are deployed in the Media & Entertainment (M&E) studio,the common problems are their inability to on-demand scale out performance and capacity,complicated management of isolated storages with separate file directories,troublesome distribution of workloads between storage appliances,and effort-consuming backup. Suitable for medium and small post-production teams with around 10-20 creators,EonStor GS scale-out storage allows to add GS one by one to the cluster ­— up to 4 appliances,based on the current demands for editing/rendering and archiving. This linearly increases performance for collaborative 4K/8K media post-production workflow and expands capacity up to 40 PB. The scale-out function integrates multiple GS appliances into a single file system to provide easy file management and organization.

GS scale-out unified storage also features the auto-balancing function to simplify workloads distribution among each GS,including a newly added one,for getting optimized cluster performance and reducing IT storage management burdens.

Moreover,it supports tier configuration to combine the high-performance all-flash GS (for 4K/8K editing) and the entry-level GSe with HDD (for storage and backup) in a single cluster under a single directory. In this way,users can enjoy high-performance and high-capacity storage with easy file management. For example,editors can fulfill project backup with just one click without manually copying it between SSD and HDD storage folders.

"When needed,M&E users can expand GS scale-out storage hassle-free to enjoy high-performance workflow and quick file access," noted Frank Lee,Senior Director of Product Planning.
