Framework
In today's non-linear editing environments media
assets are becoming more and more critical. The
ATTO
FastStream
customers with existing non-RAID protected solutions
a new level of protection while ensuring that the project
workflow remains unaffected. This solution also allows
customers to leverage their existing investment in
SCSI based storage while adding data protection. This
ensures that Video Editors will have constant, reliable
access to their media even in the event of a drive
failure. Global Hot Spares are available and provide
customers a higher level of data integrity.
FastStream SC appliances solve the challenge of non-
protected data while maintaining or exceeding current
performance. By using ATTO's exclusive Digital Video
RAID (DVRAID™) your digital video and audio assets
are kept safe, keeping your edits intact in case of a
drive failure. In addition, ATTO's Audio Track
Streaming (ATS™) technology allows the FastStream
SC to support the editing of multiple tracks of audio in
stressful editing environments while managing latency.
The FastStream SC Appliance line features a mature
RAID stack used in ATTO products for over five years.
Improving on industry-certified technology to create the
FastStream SC, performance enhancing features such
as caching, deferred writes, write coalescing and host
transfer scatter combine to give the FastStream
blazing fast performance.
