Apace vStor storage systems enables real-time
collaborative FCP based Video editing for multi-stream DV, HDV, SD and compressed
HD editing over Gigabit Ethernet LAN workgroups with RAID protection
Inherent to existing Gigabit Ethernet LAN infrastructure, is its ease of network management, yet powerful connectivity that can be leveraged to allow network storage access via vStor without a need for SAN. Result is low cost of installation where there is no need for specialty hardware or software upgrades to client editing machines and new connectivity fabrics, offering an alternative to XSAN based deployments with legacy OS9 and OS X support. “Our objective is to offer a comprehensive network storage support for all existing and new MAC based FCP video editing installations and assure easy migration for collaborative multi-user video editing workgroups. Leveraging from existing IT knowledge at user sites, in less than 15 minute and without compromising on performance, productivity, and scalability, users can have their vStor plugged into the Ethernet network and start sharing and storing information between their client nodes,” said Dr. Lee Hu, President of Apace systems Corporation.
vStor storage systems come in v1000 and v2000 series.
v1000 is ideal for DV workflows ideal for low to mid-range of the market. The
v2000 series covers larger installations that need to serve uncompressed SD,
HDV, and compressed HD up to 8 uncompressed SD, 11 compressed HD or 40 DV25
workflow ideal for mid-high end of the market. Ranging in capacity from 1.5 to 8
Terra Bytes, editors access vStor as they would their local workstation drives
in FCP, directly capturing, rendering, retrieving and sharing media content
over the network with RAID protection. Apace
network storage benefits users with sharing,
collaboration, productivity improvement and data protection. By sharing media files, editors can reduce
great amount of total storage requirement without replicating the content at
their local machines or directly-attached storage (DAS). Further, by accessing the latest result from
their peers, they can significantly improve productivity. Also, vStor systems offer a security
management layer for project managers to allow FCP generated projects and files
to be securely accessed and protected per pre-designated rights of usage and to
have a centralized way for virus control and protect user’s work. Each user, as part of a workgroup or subgroup,
can access private and/or public shared secure storage within the system. Lastly, any non-editing users on the network
can conveniently review video content from anywhere within the secured networks
via QuickTime. Apace network storage is
very flexible to work with different OS’ and editing software concurrently and
you can choose whatever platform and applications.
Apace Systems will demonstrate its products at NAB
2005 in the
Apace Systems now offers its aggressively priced
solution globally through its OEM and Video/Audio Reseller channel partners.
vStor v1000/V2000 series have been installed and tested in several strategic
partners’ sites and is shipping in volume. vStor product pricing begins at
$9,995 MSRP.
