End-to-End Storage Solutions for 4K Content Creation
4K data requires massive storage capacity and there are latency and bandwidth issues with the process of workflows. Many
solution providers either offer separate appliances, separate storage systems, or only consumer storage not meant for remote work. At IBC 2014, PROMISE will showcase how it addresses these issues
to help customers become 4K ready with product demonstrations featuring its end-to-end storage solutions, including Pegasus2 Thunderbolt™ 2 desktop RAID storage, the VTrak A3800 shared storage
appliance and the G1100 NAS Gateway. The SANLink2 Thunderbolt 2 to 8G Fibre Channel/10GBaseT bridge connect SAN and NAS clients, including the Mac Pro and HP ZBook Mobile Workstations, to PROMISE's
shared storage solution which will feature live editing demos with Adobe Premiere Pro and Autodesk Maya.
For mobile solutions suitable for remote work, PROMISE will showcase the small form factor Pegasus2 M4 and HP ZBook Mobile Workstations which provides performance for creative professionals who need storage in the field.
Thunderbolt 2 Mac and Windows Ecosystems
Thunderbolt 2 solutions are key for being 4K ready. PROMISE will showcase Pegasus2 in demonstrations for professionals in both the
Mac and Windows ecosystems. By qualifying Pegasus2 on Macs and PCs, including HP Z Workstations and HP Z Mobile Workstations, creative professionals on both platforms can now leverage the portable
RAID storage solution for post-production and broadcasting, such as offsite shoots, remote studios, or department workgroups with verified compatibility and stability. Thunderbolt 2 demos of the
Pegasus2 and HP Z Workstations will also be showcased on the IBC show floor at the Intel® product display.
