protected by an Overland LTO library. Archiware P5 stocks up the archive, while a Windows server with a GPU-accelerated RAID card (GRAID) forms the local instance with NVMe performance. At the same time, two Mac Pro computers access the shared NVMe-storage from Infortrend via 32Gbps Atto Fibre Channel.
Starline claims the Areca SAN can supply up to nine clients with Thunderbolt, providing all employees with 40Gbps connectivity to over 500TB “wherever they are”. This gives freelancers direct connectivity to the main switch via a remote computer to quickly synchronise individual projects.
Also on stand is a mobile RAID system from Areca’s 8050T3U series that can provide mobile reporters with temporary storage and the ability to edit media on the move. It enables Thunderbolt storage with battery or solar power and is available with a 12v connection. 7.D15
