You can also enjoy the performance boosting benefits of Accelsior 4M2 with your Thunderbolt 3-equipped notebook computer, iMac workstation, or slot filled gaming rig. It’s plug and play easy with a PCIe expansion chassis like the OWC Mercury Helios 3s (sold separately).4 Helios 3S lets the Accelsior 4M2 flow with your workflow by offering up to 2,500MB/s real-world read/write performance in the field on your notebook.5 Once back at your desk, the choice is yours…keep Accelsior 4M2 in the Helios 3S or install it into your Mac Pro 2019 to enjoy its blistering fast 6,000MB/s capabilities.

Accelsior 4M2 was designed with a PCIe switch to let your computer address each of the M.2 NVMe drives at full x4 PCIe speeds instead of hard-limiting each drive to x2 PCIe speeds. When running in JBOD, where all four drives are typically not accessed at the same time, each drive has the unlocked capability to run at full speed.

When over 6,000MB/s real world speed and 8.0TB of capacity isn’t enough to satisfy your needs, you can RAID two Accelsior 4M2 cards together to experience out of this world performance.

Accelsior 4M2 includes SoftRAID Pro to ensure you get the maximum, steady performance, protection and monitoring against drive failure, and plug and play simplicity. SoftRAID is the only solution with robust drive health monitoring and reporting capabilities and full TRIM support for attached external and PCIe slot NVMe drives under MacOS. SoftRAID's easy setup makes it customize storage to the RAID volume(s) your applications need by helping you through the entire process. Ready to go plug and play or just decide what you're use requirements are for desired RAIDs and how much space to allocate to it. It's that simple to create your preference of speed and/or redundancy attributes of your data volume.

For the first time ever in the history of Thunderbolt™, users can buy a bus-powered Thunderbolt™ certified enclosure and install their own drive in it. Finally, a DIY kit that allows users to break free of pre-configured choice limits in order to build a pocket-sized storage solution that meets their specific needs. And rebuild it anytime those needs change. Equally revolutionary is the included slide mount. This surface-safe removable drive holder allows the user to slide the Envoy Express onto the back of a laptop screen for out-of-the-way mobile use convenience.

 

Build the Envoy Express with a brand-new drive for a fast boot drive. Retask an existing drive replaced during an upgrade for added storage and backup capacity. Or, use Envoy Express to regain access to files on a drive removed from an inoperable machine. Whatever the reason for building a bus-powered Thunderbolt™ enclosure, Envoy Express has the power to make it happen.

 

Designed to support any 2280 M.2 NVMe SSD, the Envoy Express gives users the freedom of flexibility to use any drive today - including OWC Aura SSDs up to 4.0TB capacity - as well as being ready for tomorrow’s 8.0TB, 16TB and future capacities without limit.

 

Whether you want to backup your growing photo and music libraries, share files, play your favorite games and movies anywhere, or even want to capture and edit up to 8K video, the Envoy Express can do it all. And it’s built to support super-fast sustained data transfer rates up to 1553MB/s…often faster than a machine’s internal drive performance!

 

When working space is limited, the Envoy Express mounting system is the solution. Today’s office is where you make it - a cramped airplane seat, a tiny coffeeshop table, on your lap in a remote location. There’s no power outlet and not enough room for an external drive. Besides being the industry’s first Thunderbolt™ 3 bus-powered (no power adapter required) enclosure, the Envoy Express is the first to include a laptop mounting system.

Super-strong, removable adhesive gel and a lightweight yet durable plastic holder secure the Envoy Express to the back of a Thunderbolt™ 3-equipped Mac or PC laptop screen.

Data-center software on your desktop

Using RAID to store and manage data offers unparalleled performance and data security. OWC SoftRAID protects your life’s work with redundant storage options and disk failure monitoring. SoftRAID from OWC delivers the best of safety and speed, far outperforming hardware-only solutions.

The best of access speeds and data safety with countless disk configurations is a game-changer. With the ease of creating RAID volumes, the flexibility to use multiple enclosures and the foresight to prevent disk failure, SoftRAID helps you manage your data like a pro at a fraction of the cost.

• Create and/or delete raid volumes easily


• New disk? Test it first with certify


• Check your data or volume at any time


• Five raid levels for all uses
  
  
  
  • RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 1+0 (10)
  
  
  
  


• 24/7 Disk failure warning via email

When it comes to protection, SoftRAID stays steps ahead of data loss. SoftRAID checks new disks before you use them, warns you when a disk is about to fail, and keeps working after a disk fails.

If speed is what you’re after, SoftRAID leads the race. SoftRAID enables the use of up to 16 disks in a single volume or the ability to spread volumes over two or more enclosures for unprecedented speeds.

For optimal speed and safety, SoftRAID is in a class by itself.

SoftRAID checks new disks before you use them. New disk? SoftRAID's certify feature will tell you if your disk is bad, before you save precious data to it—protecting you against using a disk that is faulty or about to fail.

Always on and never in the way.  SoftRAID Monitor runs scans in the background—even when you're not logged in—making it ideal for use on servers. And when you're logged in and working, it uses a minimum of CPU power, so you won't even notice it's there.

Keep working after a disk fails. If you use a SoftRAID mirror (RAID 1), RAID 4, RAID 5 or RAID 1+0 volume, your work is protected against disk failure. Even if one of your disks fails, you can keep right on working and make your deadline. None of your files will be lost. How great is that?

 

SoftRAID supports five levels of RAID optimized for speed, safety, or both. Any SoftRAID volume can have up to 16 disks.

• RAID 0 – Stripes
  
  
  
  • Fastest
  
  
  
  


• RAID 1 – Mirrors
  
  
  
  • Safest RAID
  
  
  
  


• RAID 4 – Dedicated Parity
  
  
  
  • Fast and safe
  
  
  
  


• RAID 5 – Distributed Parity
  
  
  
  • Fast and safe
  
  
  
  


• RAID 1+0 (10) – Stripes + Mirrors
  
  
  
  • Fastest and safest

Spectra’s StorCycle storage lifecycle management software is an easy, affordable and efficient solution built specifically to identify inactive data that consumes expensive primary storage capacity. It then migrates identified data to a more affordable protected tier of storage called the Perpetual Storage Tier, while leaving the data fully accessible to users. The Perpetual Storage Tier holds inactive data, which is tracked, protected and is available at a future time if needed, or even deleted when the data has reached the end of its lifecycle. This tier is also used for data distribution, backup, archive, disaster recovery and more.

More than 80 percent of data is being stored on the wrong tier of storage, costing organizations millions of dollars a year. IT professionals intuitively know they are not storing their data efficiently because they have never been given the correct tools to do so… until now. Spectra Logic’s StorCycle software is the answer to deploying a modern storage lifecycle management workflow. StorCycle reduces the overall cost of storing data by up to 70 percent.

Data-center software on your desktop

Using RAID to store and manage data offers unparalleled performance and data security. OWC SoftRAID protects your life’s work with redundant storage options and disk failure monitoring. SoftRAID from OWC delivers the best of safety and speed, far outperforming hardware-only solutions.

The best of access speeds and data safety with countless disk configurations is a game-changer. With the ease of creating RAID volumes, the flexibility to use multiple enclosures and the foresight to prevent disk failure, SoftRAID helps you manage your data like a pro at a fraction of the cost.

• Create and/or delete raid volumes easily


• New disk? Test it first with certify


• Check your data or volume at any time


• Five raid levels for all uses
  
  
  
  • RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 1+0 (10)
  
  
  
  


• 24/7 Disk failure warning via email

When it comes to protection, SoftRAID stays steps ahead of data loss. SoftRAID checks new disks before you use them, warns you when a disk is about to fail, and keeps working after a disk fails.

If speed is what you’re after, SoftRAID leads the race. SoftRAID enables the use of up to 16 disks in a single volume or the ability to spread volumes over two or more enclosures for unprecedented speeds.

For optimal speed and safety, SoftRAID is in a class by itself.

SoftRAID checks new disks before you use them. New disk? SoftRAID's certify feature will tell you if your disk is bad, before you save precious data to it—protecting you against using a disk that is faulty or about to fail.

Always on and never in the way.  SoftRAID Monitor runs scans in the background—even when you're not logged in—making it ideal for use on servers. And when you're logged in and working, it uses a minimum of CPU power, so you won't even notice it's there.

Keep working after a disk fails. If you use a SoftRAID mirror (RAID 1), RAID 4, RAID 5 or RAID 1+0 volume, your work is protected against disk failure. Even if one of your disks fails, you can keep right on working and make your deadline. None of your files will be lost. How great is that?

 

SoftRAID supports five levels of RAID optimized for speed, safety, or both. Any SoftRAID volume can have up to 16 disks.

• RAID 0 – Stripes
  
  
  
  • Fastest
  
  
  
  


• RAID 1 – Mirrors
  
  
  
  • Safest RAID
  
  
  
  


• RAID 4 – Dedicated Parity
  
  
  
  • Fast and safe
  
  
  
  


• RAID 5 – Distributed Parity
  
  
  
  • Fast and safe
  
  
  
  


• RAID 1+0 (10) – Stripes + Mirrors
  
  
  
  • Fastest and safest

Tape archiving has been dogged by slow transfer speeds and the inability to share drives over networks.

VAULT changes all that. Developed for central archives, the VAULT multi-drive LTO-7 / LTO-8 system can write and read data from any or all drives simultaneously at an astonishing 1440MB/s (LTO-8). Network-attached, users can read and write from any authorised workstation, for a workflow that is far more efficient than drives tethered to a single dedicated computer.

All GB Labs LTO systems include our LTO Manager fully featured archiving software for backup and archiving tasks. The interface for the software is a web GUI that allows users and administrators to write TAR files to tape sets or even format the tapes as LTFS. All operations can be completed using the software and data can be pulled seamlessly from any GB Labs system.

Uniquely the system also allows users to mount LTFS tapes on their desktops through the network. You can then interact with the tapes much like any other removable media (USB, FireWire drives etc.)

The software logs all activity and catalogues the contents of each tape and any additional meta data. This means that the entire catalogue can be searched intelligently, and retrieval of data is fast and straightforward, using flashback video previews to create archive material.

The consumption of content continues to accelerate on an upwards path and the need to efficiently acquire, manage and deliver across the entire content supply chain becomes ever more compelling.

To achieve optimum performance we need to consider following a digital transformation strategy that builds on the four pillars of the content supply chain:

• Content – in all its forms, digital and physical, video, audio, graphics, captions, subtitles, scripts and documents, as well as all the associated and additional metadata


• Workflow – Nothing happens to content without direction, as simple or complex as needed. Business processes, logic and decisions must be performed to create cohesive and efficient workflows, taking into account both manual, and the increasing amount of automated tasks


• Resources – Workflows don’t happen without somebody or something managing and orchestrating them, whether it be a person and/or technology


• Analytics – How do you know how well your operation is running and that you’ve implemented efficient working practices? Analytics. Being able to measure and manage the business across the above 3 pillars enables an organisation to automate elasticity in resource utilisation, to understand the metrics of its operation, how efficient they are and ultimately how the bottom line is affected by them.

Undertaking a strategy that creates tight integration of all 4 pillars will deliver significant benefits to the organisation. Maximising the benefit requires the implementation of an agile and flexible content supply chain solution, so implementing a business solution, such as Mediaflex-UMS (Unified Media Services), that embraces all 4 pillars will ultimately lead to a significantly more efficient operation.

From its concept, Mediaflex-UMS has been designed to integrate these 4 pillars and place clients in control of their content, metadata and the business processes across their content supply chains. Equally as important, it was designed to place our customers in control of the Mediaflex-UMS platform.

So often organisations find out the hard way that the implementation of a new system requires them to go back to the vendor and/or rely on technology experts to modify the code to cater for new business processes, or modify existing ones, as the business changes. This often leads to the question “Do I build or buy?”.

With Mediaflex-UMS you get the best of both worlds: buying a system that allows authorised personnel to use the tool-sets built into the system to design, modify and configure it to meet the ever-changing demands of the business as the consumption of media continues to change.

HyperSpace marries the two seamlessly and ensures the ultimate performance from both simultaneously.Unlike other products on the market, HyperSpace has been specifically designed for media and entertainment workflows. Built-in intelligence constantly monitors, learns and adapts to users behaviour. Clever algorithms optimise system performance close to that of a pure SSD solution. Adding a HyperSpace to your workflow immediately and dramatically improves performance.This next generation disk acceleration cleverly optimises the use of the SSD layer by maximising efficiency at all times. This efficiency ensures you never compromise on performance, unlike cache-based systems.These elements come together to offer you up to 800% more performance from spinning disks and at a fraction of the cost of a pure SSD system. Coupled with robust RAID6 protection for all data, at all times makes this an extremely secure solution that offers you complete peace of mind.

Another huge benefit of this solution is that both the SSD and HDD layers are independently expandable. This dynamic expansion also allows you to increase capacity or performance with data intact. The system effortlessly manages itself when more storage is added and you simply keep working.

With nearly a decade of developing AI and computer vision tools for the world’s number one interactive video platform at WIREWAX, and with another two decades of experience in the video and broadcast space, the team identified ways to leverage the platform’s award-winning image processing technologies in the big media sector too.

Lightning fast; face and object recognition, segmentation, fingerprinting, speech recognition and many other unparalleled tools available in the suite has changed the game for the broadcast and media industry.

Being able to scan entire archives of video assets and create a powerful, digital understanding of videos, programmes and movies with this core technology has enabled large TV and movie studios to leverage data and digital tools and services like never before.

 

We’ve not met a media business on the planet that doesn’t have a digitised asset problem. Lack of metadata, no understanding of content, zero monetisation capabilities and gigantic and disorganized archives. Not to mention expensive asset management, overpriced syndication and VOD preparation, and notoriously slow and extortionate manual services.
