HIGH PERFORMANCE, HIGH VALUE STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR CONTENT CREATION

MediaVault disk arrays were designed as a cost effective solution for high-bandwisth content creation applications like uncompressed SD/HD editing and Film DI. They feature a high performance 4Gb Fibre channel or U320 SCSI interface and switchable RAID1 and RAID3 operation, offering both performance and protection. RAID6 operation is now included on select models adding even greater data protection. The MediaVault IB brings data throughput to an unprecedented level or serving as a bridge between multiple MediaVault dick arrays and the InfiniBand Interface, capable of sustaining 20Gb/sec!

The next-generation MediaVault U320-R features an Ultra 320 interface capable of sustaining over 200 Megabytes a second in HDT mode. That's enough to support 10-bit HD capture and playback - from a single 5-drive unit! The redesigned, industrial looking chassis supports 5 removable drives. The ultimate in high speed video storage, the MediaVault U320-R is available in capacities from 800 GB up to 2 TB. Dual fans and a hefty 250 watt power supply provide cooling and power to spare.

The MediaVault 4105 is based on HUGE System's 3rd generation RAID architecture, combining the latest 4Gb Fibre Channel interface technology with cost-effective ATA disk drive technology. It delivers the reliable performance needed for today’s most demanding HD applications. The MediaVault 4105 is a five drive desktop enclosure compatible with Mac, Windows, Unix and Linux platforms, as well as major brands of video editing, capture and playback cards/devices. The MediaVault 4210 is a dual channel rackmount version of the 4105. The 4105 is capable of sustaining 300 MB/sec. A single MediaVault 4105 will record and play back the highest quality video, including 1080i HD/10 bit in HDT mode; or multiple uncompressed standard definition video streams - making it the ideal storage solution for standard definition and high definition editing. All MediaVault Disk Arrays allow you to select either RAID 0 or RAID 3 to match the performance and reliability best suited for the application. Utilize RAID 0 (striped drives) to achieve the greatest performance, or utilize RAID 3 (data protected) for excellent performance and the added protection of no performance degradation and no data loss if a drive fails.
