“Data is the lifeblood of today’s businesses, which means it is more important than ever to leverage every advantage to ensure you are deploying reliable, high-performance storage solutions that allow you to access, protect and use the information that is powering your company or organization,” said John van den Elzen, managing director, PROMISE Technology EMEA. “When customers purchase PROMISE Integrated Systems, they are assured that the high-performance VTrak and Vess chassis is paired with equally high-performing drives that together are qualified to deliver unmatched reliability and consistency.”

The VTrak x30 Series is the only Fibre Channel storage product qualified by Apple for use on OS X and XSAN, which is very important since VGTRK prefers non-linear editing (NLE) systems from Apple. VTrak has proven to be very easy to set up, manage and maintain and consistently provides very low failure rates and excellent throughput so content can be shared more efficiently.

A massive challenge for Vsquared TV was that the final highlights program went to air only two hours after the end of each day’s stage of the Tour de France. The end of the one hour program was usually still being edited as the beginning went to air – meaning speed was vitally important and their system delivered. “We were able to export 15 minute parts from the timeline to the EVS ready for playout in under five minutes. When you are editing close to air this makes a very big difference since this gave us extra time to polish the final edits and still make air,” said Peter Wiggins, Senior Editor. “The Mac Pro paired with Pegasus2 and SANLink2 were hugely important to help us realize these massive gains in efficiency.”

Additionally, the Vess R2000 storage series, including the Vess R2600xi, are now certified DataCore Ready for SANsymphony-VTM storage virtualization platform from DataCore Software. In order to be certified DataCore Ready, the Vess R2000 Series completed additional verification testing to ensure a superior level of joint solution compatibility ensuring it is optimized for DataCore SANsymphony-V. Integrating the Vess R2000 Series and SANsymphony-V can assist users in maximizing storage productivity, improving storage utilization, simplifying administration and accelerating performance to speed up workloads and faster response times.

The certification testing verified that XProtect VMS and the PROMISE integrated system is highly scalable with several excellent storage controller interface options, and multiple available redundancy methods to create reliable high performance surveillance and security solutions for mission-critical applications.
