"The solutions from PROMISE and HP have been nothing short of a revelation. On shoot days we use both of our Pegasus2 R8 systems on set to perform data transfer and backup duties connected to HP ZBook 15 and HP ZBook 17 Mobile Workstations with Thunderbolt 2. Back at the edit suite we run the edits from the Pegasus2 R8s in Adobe Premiere Pro CC on the HP Z820 Workstations," said Walton. "The speed is amazing and it saves us so much time. Without these solutions, working on a 4K show like this would be almost impossible for us."

As much as 90 percent of the world's data has been created in the last two years - thanks in large part to the exploding Internet of Things - a trend which is only expected to accelerate. The explosion of data has created massive challenges for IT administrators who must now move from thinking on a terabyte scale to thinking on a petabyte scale. Many traditional storage systems lack the flexibility and adaptability to meet the demands of today's users - further, these systems were not designed to efficiently and cost effectively store petabytes of data. VSky A-Series helps overcome these challenges, as users can scale to petabyte volumes with no downtime and with a single flat name space. Additionally, VSky A-Series creates cost efficiencies in environments where there is a need for massive scalability. With VSky A-Series, IT departments are prepared for data challenges today and in the future - as no capacity planning is needed and businesses can pay as they go.
