ASACA Corporation announced an OEM agreement with Leitch Technology Corporation. According to the agreement, Leitch will begin integrating ASACA's new FireFly DM series digital virtual libraries into their portfolio of server products, and will provide worldwide distribution and support to the broadcast and professional video production industries. "
Integrating new Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) disk drives, FireFly delivers up to 48 terabytes (TB) of data per library at 400MB/s
. Paired with Leitch's main product lines including Video Processing and Distribution, Video Servers and Post Production solutions, FireFly will be fully equipped to address every aspect of the professional video production process.
Incorporating as many as 192-200GB or 250GB Serial ATA drives within a single ASACA library, FireFly provides high-speed transmission of data on demand, similar to an online RAID, but is uniquely capable of remaining in a quiescent state until needed. As a result, FireFly is an electronic library based on hard disk drives, offering superior performance and tremendous capacities, without the price tag of traditional online storage. Visit ASACA at booth #SL521 at NAB 2003 (April 7th – 10th) to experience FireFly.
