SMB Post-Production SAN
Collaborative post-production solutions
allow for less time spent ingesting media,
perhaps in duplicate or triplicate fashion,
and more time at work on the project. The
LaCie 12big Rack Fibre is more than capable
of tackling the demands of shared media
projects. Film and television editors often face
time-sensitive deadlines that are stymied by
the inconvenience of separate workstations
ingesting the same media on stand-alone
storage. Now, with the 12big Rack Fibre,
multiple editors can divide their workload
while accessing the same material. Using a
SAN file system such as Apple’s Xsan provides
easy access to shared media files. Whether
you work for a commercial editing boutique
that needs to share frequently used graphics
and titles, or a post-production facility that
creates single and multi-camera productions,
the 12big Rack Fibre offers the speed,
flexibility, and expandability to complete
projects on time due to the reduction of
redundant operations.
Enterprise Post-Production
SAN
Facilities with multiple editing, graphics, and
audio workstations often lose time exchanging
files via external and independent storage
or waste endless hours maintaining separate
hard drives. The LaCie 12big Rack Fibre is
the perfect solution to move everyone onto
a shared space thus providing a centralized
media hub for easy management. No matter
if your operators need to share media or
access a library of graphics and titles run on
multiple packages, the LaCie 12big Rack Fibre
can easily handle the time-critical demands
of large workgroups. Connected to a server
via Ethernet and running media management
software, the LaCie 12big Rack Fibre is the
ideal solution for building a media library due
to its vast capacity and expandability in an
economical two-rack unit enclosure.
