Dell EMC PowerScale
Collaboration drives media workflows. Centralizing assets into streamlined shared storage helps media organizations drive collaboration, accelerate production and reduced costs by eliminating separate “silos” of video assets. Centralized storage can help unlock collaborative tools and processes that allow artists, systems and broadcast engineers to leverage common stored assets whether on premises or in hybrid cloud workflows. Dell EMC PowerScale builds on the legacy of Isilon to offer a consolidated, collaborative storage environment that enables concurrent, real-time collaboration with multi-protocol access, integration with key partner software and easy search across multiple storage methods.

R&S®SpycerNode
R&S SpycerNode represents the first in a new breed of storage systems that harness the latest advances in High Performance Computing (HPC), a term that refers to the system’s performance, scalability and redundancy. HPC is a combination of hardware, file system and RAID approach. HPC employs redundancy using software “RAID” technologies called erasure coding in combination with declustering to increase overall performance and reduce rebuild times. Also, system scalability is almost infinite and expansion is possible during operation.
The most compelling aspect of R&S SpycerNode is its building-block characteristics. It provides the ability to build a single global name space with different speeds of storage node.
In developing R&S SpycerNode, Rohde & Schwarz engineers have looked at many of the key issues that impact on media storage systems within high-performance video editing environments from annoying maintenance requirements – such as defraging – to much more serious system failures including dying disk drives, which can have catastrophic consequences to a project that is being worked on.
R&S SpycerNode features Rohde & Schwarz‘s device manager web application which makes it much easier to set up and use Rohde & Schwarz solutions in an integrated fashion. Device manager helps to reduce setup times and simplifies maintenance and service due to its intuitive web-based UI operated through a single client.
A critical requirement of any high-performance video storage system is proven data security. In developing R&S SpycerNode, Rohde & Schwarz has introduced data protection systems based on erasure coding and declustering. Erasure coding means that a data block is always written including parity.
Declustering is a part of the data protection approach of HPC setups (formerly known as RAID). It is software based and in comparison to a traditional RAID setup the spare disk is spread over all other disks and is not a dedicated disk. This will decrease rebuild times and reduce performance impact. Also, there are no limitations with the RAID controller, which results in much higher IOPS (Input/Output operations per second). Importantly, there is no impact on system performance over time due to declustering.
R&S SpycerNode comes in multiple 2U and 5U chassis designs, which are available with NL-SAS HDD and SAS SSDs in different capacities. An additional 2u24 chassis design is a pure flash system. There are main processor units and JBOD units. A main unit is always redundant, equipped with two appliance controllers (AP). Each AP features two 100 Gbit interfaces resulting in four 100 Gbit interfaces per main unit.
The combination of different chassis systems makes R&S SpycerNode applicable to a very broad range of applications. The 2u system represents a compact, lightweight unit that is ideal for application within mobile productions as well as offering a very dense, high speed storage device for on-premise applications. A larger 5u system offers sophisticated large-scale storage facilities on-premise within broadcast production centres and Post facilities.
Caringo Swarm Server Appliances
Caringo Swarm Server Appliances contain all the hardware and software you need to keep content protected, online, searchable and web-accessible—secure within your network. Using Swarm Servers, you can speed up deployment and eliminate much of the research and decision making that is involved in building your own implementation. Swarm Servers complement your existing storage infrastructure and you can easily plug into your workflows via S3, NFS, Windows or macOS. It includes an easy-to-use UI (user interface) that uses metadata to make it simple to retrieve objects (files) as needed. It also includes Partial File Restore so you can quickly retrieve parts of files and reduce time to last byte (TTLB).
With the industry’s most flexible object storage deployment options, Swarm Appliances let you start with just one server and scale out at any time based on your business requirements. You can seamlessly move from TBs to 100s of PBs. Caringo offers Swarm Servers to provide a complete, pre-integrated and easy-to-deploy hardware and software solution that starts at 168TB raw with pay-as-you-grow economics. Models include the Single Server Appliance (SSA), m1000 management server, s3000 storage server and hd5000 high-density storage server. Below, you can see how easy it is to scale from 168TB to multi-petabytes.
- Rapid Flexible Deployment: Swarm Servers scale from 168 TB to 100s of Petabytes. Initial deployment can take as little as 2 hours and you can expand your storage in minutes.
- Optimize Durability or Footprint: You can mix single, standard storage and high-density appliances and select any mix of replication or erasure coding.
- Feature Rich for End Users: Swarm has built-in content management and search and secures your content for sharing and delivery.
- Hassle-free for Administrators: 1 sys admin can manage 50+ PB. Swarm features rapid recovery and up to 25x less downtime when compared to RAID.
Caringo Swarm Cloud DR powered by Wasabi
With the Cloud DR service, you can rest assured that the Caringo staff is there to manage the recovery process, and with the included Wasabi storage, there are no surprise fees (including those for ingress or egress of your data).
Enhanced Data Protection: Instantly add a globally distributed remote DR site
Data is protected on-prem with Swarm using replication or erasure coding and data. In addition, data is replicated to one of Wasabi's regional data centers—East Coast US, West Coast US, EU (Netherlands) or APAC (Japan).
Hassle-free Data Management: Easily replicate data to Wasabi using the Swarm UI
Replicating data to Wasabi is simple and completed in seconds within the Swarm user interface (UI). If a disaster occurs, Caringo support staff will manage the recovery process.
Predictable Costs: Stay within your budget and avoid extra fees
The Swarm Cloud DR managed service is offered as a 3-year add-on to an existing Swarm deployment or Swarm Server Appliance purchase. The service includes all Wasabi cloud storage capacity as well as all ingress/egress fees for 3 years with the recovery process managed by Caringo.
R&S®SpycerPAM
Rohde & Schwarz presents its R&S SpycerPAM production asset management hall 7, booth B21. The software extension of the R&S SpycerNode storage platform simplifies project management and integration of a multitude of video processing tools. This makes workflows more efficient, especially for post production companies.
Managing access rights, proxy administration and avoiding multiple storage of assets are just a few of the challenges that complex film projects may face. The R&S SpycerPAM project asset management solution addresses these issues and significantly simplifies project handling. It offers functions such as asset management, rights management, metadata management and proxy generation as well as many features that simplify collaboration, allowing users to focus on being creative.
R&S SpycerPAM supports numerous video processing tools, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Avid Pro Tools and Avid Media Composer. R&S SpycerPAM seamlessly integrates the tools and creates its own "project mounts" for project management on R&S SpycerNode. Users can be assigned different access rights and see only assets and projects for which they have permission. Previewable proxies are generated automatically for the assets used, regardless of type – videos, complex Photoshop files, etc. Previews can be accessed with a single click. Smart mirror mechanisms prevent redundant storage of assets from various projects in R&S SpycerNode memory and sustainably reduce the storage capacity needed. In addition, rough cuts can be created quickly with the integrated web-based Preditor and then linked in the user's preferred processing tool.
The R&S SpycerNode storage solution was unveiled at IBC 2018. It represents a new and radically different approach to a wide variety of requirements for media file storage solutions. R&S SpycerNode features high availability, scalability and redundancy.
