Atlanta, GA – August 15, 2019 – DigitalGlue announces the addition of 16TB helium-based enterprise drives into its complete line of creative.space storage solutions. These drives provide 33% more capacity compared to 12TB drives. Higher density, less rack space, and lower energy consumption all reduce the overall total cost of ownership. Combining 16TB hard drives, 16TB NF1 NVMe PCIe solid-state drives, and 10/25/40/100 GbE network connectivity is a real game changer for post-production and content distribution network workflows.
16 TB drives alleviate the need for multiple racks of equipment in a facility or a data center. The 24-bay //AUTEUR and //DEUS EX systems can hold 384 TB in 4 RU. With three //EXPANSION units, over 1.5 PB can be stored in just 16 RU. For even higher density, the //TANK can house 960 TB in 4 RU. For collaboration anywhere, the mobile 4-bay //ROGUE unit can now scale to 64 TB.
“The introduction of the 16TB drives has driven down the price of lower capacity drives and this is reflected in a price reduction across all of our creative.space product line,” said Tim Anderson, DigitalGlue CEO. “Our 120TB //AUTEUR model, optimized for 4K compressed workflows, is available with a three year On-Premise Managed Storage (OPMS) contract for only $995 monthly. Designed by DigitalGlue for creatives, OPMS is a new concept in storage solutions that includes high-performance storage hardware, creative.space OS software, 24/7 monitoring, technical support, and next-day repairs for an affordable, all-inclusive monthly rate.”
The creative.space OS features a built-in Authentication Server supporting extended ACLs, enterprise file system and volume manager, user and group management, automated folder/file structure creation from custom predefined templates that include user/group rights, folder/file browser allowing copying/syncing between shares and/or external attached drives, analytics, and system diagnostics.
creative.space utilizes the latest hardware architectures to optimize performance with the best technology available. //DEUS EX testing resulted with a blistering aggregate read of 3,047 MB/s on HDDs and 8,208 MB/s with NF1 SSDs. There has been no better time to replace your legacy SAN or NAS.
