Space

High performance central storage perfect for digital content creation

Space is ideal for larger workgroups, to offer increased capacity and performance using 16 rather than 8 drives. Its flexible expansion units let you scale capacity and performance as need be.

Optimised for digital content creation, Space works with any mix of Mac, Windows or Linux clients.

It’s safe, fast and cost-effective – the perfect solution to an increasing need for quick, secure data storage. Able to use standard Ethernet connectivity, Space is easy to install without new cabling or client adaptor cards.

Space comes with four 1G Ethernet (GbE) ports for connecting client workstations. For best performance with GbE clients it’s best to channel bond these ports to a GbE switch and connect client workstations to the switch.

When you use Space with a Space Ex you’ll enjoy even greater performance. To maximise this, simply fit a 10GbE Ethernet card and use 10GbE connection with a GbE switch.

Space has additional expansion slots to add up to five more cards. You can use these to increase the number of GbE clients directly connected to Space without a switch. Or add up to ten 10GbE ports and connect client workstations needing more performance than a GbE connection can offer. The expansion slots can also be used to add extra RAID cards to support more Space Ex units and faster speeds.

• Sixteen Hot Swap high performance 3.5” enterprise class drive unit ideal for workgroups
• RAID 6 operation for ultimate data protection

Space SSD

For demanding data rates

For animators, VFX houses or anyone working with multiple users in a high-resolution environment, storage should be all about power and performance. The cost-effective and compact Space SSD storage solution, which is 30 times faster than spinning disks, gives you just that.

It’s the only storage solution that allows online editing of 2K and 4K DPX files in a shared environment. This means you can process more material in a shorter time, while allowing your team to work in the highest resolution possible.

Working with our new Space file transfer software you can exchange data with other Space units at up to 1000MB/sec. This allows you to organise your data in a way that suits your changing requirements, and means you keep Space SSD to manage your most demanding projects.

• Performance: delivers over 3000MB/sec translating as nine streams of 2K DPX, 900 streams of HDV, 146 streams of Pro-Res 4.2.2 or 30 streams of uncompressed HD.
• High level of simultaneous input/output performance without degradation.
• 30 times faster than spinning disk technology.
• No need for client licensing or software drivers.

Space Echo

Space Echo is ideal for in-house back-up or for putting a worldwide disaster recovery strategy in place.

Use Space Echo in your second office or data centre anywhere in the world to automatically back up the changes made to your primary Space unit. Enjoy full automatic data recovery, both on and off site.

As a back-up device to Space, Space Echo makes an excellent near-line storage solution for use with your existing SAN set-up, offering quick transfer speed and added capacity. Free up your SAN with no downtime or high upgrade costs by using Space Echo.

Space Echo costs a fraction of the equivalent Space capacity, and offers the same features but still with excellent performance. You can scale your Space Echo up or down with extra units at a low cost and with no downtime.

It’s safe, fast and cost-effective – the perfect solution to an increasing need for quick, secure data storage.

Space Echo comes with two 1G Ethernet (GbE) ports for direct server connections. Its expansion slots can take up to two cards to increase the GbE clients directly connected to Space without a switch. Alternatively, you can also add up to four 10GbE ports to connect 10GbE servers that need more performance than through a GbE connection. Connect up to five Space Ex units for cost-effective, large-scale near-line or back-up storage.

Key Features

• Replication for your Mini SPACE, Midi SPACE or SPACE unit
• Sixteen Hot Swap high performance 3.5” enterprise class drives
• 3U rack mount form factor (Rack mounts included)
