Facilities relying on a mix of Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composers, Adobe After Effects, and Digidesign Pro Tools workstations can now consolidate their projects on a single volume so everyone can access the same mediafiles. MetaSAN is the first file-level sharing SAN management software capable of presenting Pro Tools with compliant shared volumes
.
Windows 64-bit
Popular in render farms and other computational-intensive applications performance, Windows 64-bit operating systems are now fully supported.
Volumes up to 18 exabytes in size
Microsoft GUID Partition Table (GPT) support enables MetaSAN 2.2 to manage volumes up to 18,000 Petabytes in size.
