Archion, an alternative storage solution to Avid storage systems, announced a new product, called “Synergy Plus,” which has been specially designed to expand and enhance the existing Avid Unity storage system, transforming it from a mirroring software platform to a hardware RAID-based system.
Avid’s Unity storage system has an inherent risk for media loss in the event of a drive failure. Also, when using the existing Unity system, editors need to mirror, in essence double, their storage as well as the cost to ensure media protection
. The Synergy Plus product offers Unity users hardware RAID protection within a Unity environment, adding significant data storage expansion, without doubling the storage requirements and without incurring any additional software expenses.
Synergy Plus, the only hardware product compatible with Avid’s Unity system, including the latest version Medianetwork 4.1, is a full featured SATA II to FC Raid storage unit designed for networking digital video systems. The product comes in units from 1 TB and up, with 2 ports of 2GB FC, and is compatible with Windows, Macintosh OS 9, X and Tiger, Linux, and UNIX.
