Henze purchased BlueStor Networked Storage Server, which won the 2014 Best of Show Digital Video award at this year’s NAB show and SilverStor Desktop ATX Workstation to complete his studio’s workflow.

The enterprise 3U networked storage server, running euroNAS OS, was outfitted with sixteen 4TB enterprise drives (64TB native capacity), 10GbE network adapters, dual internal 6Gb SAS RAID controllers, and dual Xeon 2GHz 8-core CPUs. The SilverStor Desktop ATX Workstation is a powerful, customizable, purpose-built compact workhorse designed for demanding performance workflows including 4K and 8K uncompressed resolution applications.

The 40 Weeks documentary follows women of varying ages, ethnicities, marital situations, and economic backgrounds as they move from learning that they are pregnant to such events as hormonal changes, the first heartbeat, sonograms, miscarriage risks, going public, lung development, and birth.

The 9-month project workflow included shooting in RED with roughly 50TB of raw footage; and having three editors on three workstations editing simultaneously with Adobe Premiere Pro,” said Christopher Henze. “These demands required a flexible storage solution that could sustain very high performance with rock solid reliability since we couldn’t ask the women going through their pregnancies to reset. We chose JMR’s BlueStor storage server and SilverStor ATX workstation solutions because of the company’s reputation for building very dependable and affordable products that offer great value, can go head-to-head with systems many times their price, and their ability to work with us in configuring our system for optimal performance and flexibility. Unlike other vendors that just sell products, JMR helped us to custom configure and test the system before going on-line and was always available if we needed any questions answered. Bottom line – after 9 months, the system just works and I couldn’t be happier.

We’re pleased to have our BlueStor and SilverStor products be a part of making 40 Weeks an upcoming success. Our storage systems are the answer to A/V professionals like Christopher wanting similar performance, reliability and ease of use from the major brand names but without the expensive price tag,” said Josef Rabinovitz, president and CEO, JMR. “Larger competitors’ offerings are up to five times more expensive and do not match our breadth of file system support or ease of setup and operation. Smaller competitors struggle to match our price and cannot match the robustness of our system’s construction, reliability and performance, as well as our 7 year warranty. Business owners can now have their teams focus on productivity rather than implementing, maintaining, and coaxing performance out of their storage networks.
