JMR Electronics, Inc., a leading value provider of scalable storage systems for video and data intensive applications, presented a bouquet of new digital video and broadcast-ready RAID storage solutions for the industry professionals at IBC 2009.
The company introduced its latest Fibre Channel storage offering, FibreStream. If the FibreStream solution is combined with an existing Storage Area Network (SAN) it becomes a highly scalable and reliable system that can be configured for RAID levels 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, 40, 50 or 60.
FibreStream is considered to be the highest performance per dollar storage system available on the market with its built-in 4-port 4Gb FC switch with an average measured read speed of 1,317.286 MB/sec and an average measured write speed of 756.165 MB/sec.
Besides, JMR exhibited its 4U rackmount BlueStor 16-bay RAID Video Server system as an ingest server running Assimilate SCRATCH software, featuring a 19-in-1 card reader, Blu-ray writer, an nVIDIA Quadro 5600 SDI graphics card, USB and an E-SATA storage port. The 16-bay unit can expand up to 32 TB using the latest generation 2 TB SATA-II disk drives.
In addition, the JMR EXTN-8, a PCIe bus extender with a built-in 16-bay SAS/SATA hot-swap JBOD/RAID housed in a common 3U rackmount chassis, is another high-performance storage option that was available for attendees by JMR’s club.
JMR’s affordable and fault-tolerant storage solutions are based on JMR’s PeSAN (PCIe Storage Attached Network) technology. JMR’s 16-bay BlueStor PeSAN RAID systems were developed to be the ultimate in high-performance Direct Attached Storage for a wide range of video applications like content creation, VOD, video editing and 2K/4K Digital Intermediate (DI) film applications requiring extremely high sustained throughput and reliability – making it ideal for encoding, multi-stream SD/HD real-time editing, and 2K DI applications.
For collaborative or multi-stream SD/HD and 2K/4K DI workflows requiring even higher performance and scalable storage, BlueStor PeSAN powered RAIDs can achieve up to 4,000 MB/s throughput and scale to over 4,000 TB raw capacity using the current JMR PeSAN technology.
