Digi-Data Corporation - Press Release



Monday, April 14, 2008

LAS VEGAS, NV, April 14, 2008 – Today at NAB 2008, exhibitor Digi-Data Corporation announces the Archive Management System (AMS) series – an open, distributed archive solution. Optimized for the broadcast and content creation markets, this family of solutions provides the right balance of price and features to enable power efficient storage management in high data growth environments. “When the price of disk dropped significantly, most companies just added more primary storage capacity to handle data growth”, states Mitch Schwartz, VP of Sales for Digi-Data Corporation. “Now, with more rich media combined with a move towards “green” computing, policy based, multi-tiered storage management is coming back in a hurry.” An open solution, AMS uses simple NAS connectivity and writes files in standard formats insuring accessiblity into the future. Files move automatically through a hierarchy of storage technologies, using a disk “cache” to front-end either Blu-ray optical or LTO-4 tape library systems. For environments needing fast access, higher throughput or multiple, concurrent access requirements, the Continuum G Series T-4000 array can be configured as first tier of storage offering up to 840 TB of power-managed disk that can be shared between the archive server and several fibre channel storage pools. Satellite appliances can be employed as remote archive systems which are continuously synchronized with the main system allowing companies to build private storage utilities to keep control over digital assets in distributed work environments. All data transmissions are encrypted for security. NAB attendees can see the new Archive Management System (AMS) at the Digi Data booth #SU6805. Digi-Data Digi-Data specializes in the long-term retention and protection of high-value digital assets. Founded in 1960 and based on a pedigree of clustering and virtualization technologies, the company operates the Continuum Storage Architecture to support an ecosystem of public and private storage utilities. Leveraging core grid-controller technology, and the broadest suite of open storage interfaces and APIs, Digi-Data is addressing the shift from data center to consumer and business created content.
