OmniSAN Series Shared RAID Storage

CUC's OmniSAN enables multiple users to share access to common data files in workgroups requiring heavy bandwidth. With OmniSAN film and video editors, digital artists, and corporate users can simultaneously access a common pool of data files such as video clips, databases, satellite imagery, medical archives, or CAD files - as easily and transparently as if the content was stored on their local hard drive. OmniSAN is the perfect complement to an Avid or Mac Final Cut Pro video-editing workstation, providing the fast, consistent performance required for collaborative video pre/post production. OmniSAN delivers enough bandwidth for working in high-definition (HD) video or supporting multiple streams of uncompressed standard-definition (SD) video with real-time effects. A single 10.5TB OmniSAN configuration holds nearly 25 hours of protected RAID 5 footage, even editing uncompressed HD1080i. An OmniSAN bundle includes everything you need to add a high-performance, shared fibre-channel SAN storage solution to your existing environment including single or dual-port fibre-channel adaptors, rack-mounted RAID array(s), fibre-channel cables and SAN metadata management software license(s).
