MillimeterArchion Releases Synergy HD Storage System
Nov 28, 2006 8:00 AM
Archion, the entertainment industry’s largest storage solution to Avid storage systems, continues to revolutionize the storage industry with the release of its newest product, the certified Synergy HD. The announcement was made by Mark Bianchi, CEO, and Reuben Lima, COO, Archion.
Regarding Archion’s new product, Lima says, “Synergy HD is certified with all versions of Unity from 3.x through 4.2.x without requiring costly software and hardware replacements. Its hardware RAID protection completely eliminates the need for wasteful mirroring of storage for protection. Unlike Synergy HD, MediaArray LP requires customers to replace fully operational hardware and software infrastructure. Synergy HD’s unprecedented capability will become the storage of choice, and with a price of $ 19,995 US for 8TB, it’s a no brainer!”
Adds Mr. Bianchi, “Archion customers have been using our product for over six years, and during that time they have complimented us on the stability and versatility of our products. Our install base, as exemplified by companies such as Intralink and Vidots, have acknowledged the dependability and reliability of Archion products such as Synergy Plus, and have seen the benefits of purchasing Archion storage over the storage of other manufacturers. Archion's release of Synergy HD now provides a new product with an extended life, that will help preserve our clients’ investments, increase profitability, maintain their current infrastructures—allowing them to diversify their businesses—and most importantly, allow them to have peace of mind.”
Noting that the HD in Synergy HD stands for high definition, high density and high demand, Archion’s new Synergy HD for Unity product is a full-featured SATA II to FC RAID storage unit designed for networking digital video systems in an Avid Unity environment. It is pre-configured in units from 4TB to 8TB with two ports of 2GB FC and is certified with Unity 3.x thru 4.2.x.
In regard to digital video applications, the new Synergy HD product is a full-featured SATA II to FC RAID storage unit designed for networking digital video systems. Synergy HD is currently certified for Avid Unity, Media Manager, Interplay, Adrenaline HD, Express Pro HD, Symphony Nitris, Meridian, Symphony, and Nitris DS.
This is the backbone of the Archion SAN solution for sharing storage. It comes in units from 4TB to 8TB with 2 ports of 2GB FC and is compatible with Windows, Macintosh OS 9 and X, Linux, and most flavors of UNIX.
