Network Solutions (SNS), a provider of post-production storage products for video
and audio workgroups, has announced the immediate availability of EVO version
2.2, which brings new capabilities and performance enhancements to its popular
SAN + NAS shared storage system.
Digital content producers all over the
world are choosing the EVO shared storage system. It is deployed to hundreds of
customers across more than 15 countries, and is used every day in a variety of
TV, film, video and audio productions. Customers include The History Channel,
BBC, NHL, Johns Hopkins University, Irwin Entertainment, McKinsey and many others.
EVO’s integration of SAN and NAS enables multiple users to edit, share
and review projects, media and other large files using the most appropriate connection
type for each task. The system allows direct-attach and switch-based connection
of Fibre Channel, Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet computers.
The OS upgrade
to version 2.2 includes several SAN and NAS performance enhancements, most notably
for multipathed Ethernet environments, as well as stability improvements. This
version also prepares for support of upcoming hardware advancements. This service
release is a free upgrade for all existing EVO customers.
"We’ve
been relentless in the development of EVO; we’re releasing full upgrades
about every six months. One of the great advantages to EVO customers is that we
keep adding more value to their storage system long after they buy it,” states
Eric Newbauer, Vice President of Studio Network Solutions.
“This
latest version is a great example – there’s a big spike in interest
for using several Gigabit Ethernet links per workstation, and we’ve just
made a huge improvement to that multipathing capability. And we have no plans
to slow down our pace. In fact, we already have several major customer-requested
features in the works for the next two upcoming releases.”
EVO is
unique in that it natively includes Fibre Channel, iSCSI and NAS connectivity.
It is a complete “SAN in a box” multi-user shared solution and is capable
of handling formats up to 4K. The system is priced competitively and exceeds the
capabilities of many existing storage solutions in terms of performance, expandability
and connectivity.
EVO is designed for and compatible with Final Cut Pro,
Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro, Pro Tools, Smoke, and most similar applications for
Mac and Windows. It is also compatible with SANmp, Xsan/StorNext or metaSAN, most
popular Fibre Channel HBAs, as well as the free SNS globalSAN iSCSI initiator
for Mac OS X and Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
