posted:
Rohde & Schwarz DVS GmbH (DVS) will be showcasing the unparalleled new features of its SpycerBox storage solution at booth SL6316. Here, NAB visitors will be able to take a close look at the benefits of the SSD-equipped SpycerBox: Unprecedented internal data-transfer speed performance of up to 12 GByte/s, extremely quick access times and maximum fail-safe operation. Furthermore, the new SAN Remo management GUI lets users configure and monitor data more easily.
The central SpycerBox storage solution, which is available in multiple versions, integrates into any storage environment thanks to its numerous optional interfaces. Customers with critical workflows will benefit from the high-availability feature set in SpycerBox. Now, thanks to SSD technology, SpycerBox also delivers a previously unattained level of speed and performance: The QuadPort 8 Gigabit Fiber Channel integrated as standard with additional 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink can be saturated with ease, without any drop in performance or other impairments – additional internal bandwidth is even available for further optional interfaces. Thanks to this considerable performance increase, SpycerBox is perfectly equipped to handle 4K and even 8K workflows. The constantly low latency times of the DVS storage solution also permit smooth handling of IOPS-intensive applications with hundreds of connected clients.
