Production Environments
BENEFITS OF RAID PROTECTION
In audio production environments, it is common to find unprotected storage
being used for backups. Firewire drives, non-RAID protected SCSI drives and
internal ATA drives do not protect data from drive failures, and using these
devices require manual backups for adequate data protection. This can result
in hours of lost work and lost productivity while the drive is being replaced.
The solution to this problem is RAID protection. In the past, RAID controllers
were not fast enough to be used in an audio production environment. ATTO's
FastStream™ Storage Controllers provide RAID performance for the most
demanding audio projects, while protecting data and allowing for multi-user
collaboration. Existing SCSI or Fibre Channel storage can be utilized, saving
thousands of dollars by eliminating the need to purchase new storage.
BUILT FOR AUDIO
The ATTO FastStream™ SC 5700 and FastStream™ SC 5300 were specifi-
cally designed for streaming audio and video applications. Capable of sustain-
ing hundreds of tracks of high resolution audio, FastStream also facilitates
project collaboration through Fibre Channel connectivity. ATTO's FastStream
Storage Controllers provide performance that was once thought impossible.
