CEV to Resell NAS and SAN From Elements

Elements (Syslink GmbH), developer of solutions in shared media workflows, signed a reselling partnership agreement with CEV, Inc., a service systems integrator and provider of audio and video communications and multimedia solutions.

Headquartered in Montreal, with offices in Toronto, Quebec City and Halifax, CEV will be offering Elements’ range of SAN/NAS server and media storage products to the entire Canadian media and entertainment market.

“We are excited to introduce Elements’ unique media storage solutions to the Canadian market, as Elements provides extraordinary features and functionalities to video professionals in the post-production and broadcast industry that are simply unavailable elsewhere,” says Justin Meunier, VP sales, CEV.  “Enabling Avid workstations to work with a StorNext file system, and share media files natively with all applications is a huge benefit.“

Elements’ appliances provide integration of virtually all common applications utilized in the media and entertainment space, even embracing Avid Media Composer with Avid bin-locking and project sharing support in a shared file system. Solutions include Elements ONE, a server and storage appliance providing 360TB in only 4U, Elements Gateway, a 2U gateway server that provides all the features and benefits, but without the storage, and Elements CUBE, a mobile appliance that supports up to 16 drives in a small factor chassis for use on-location. All solutions provide a set of workflow enhancement and management tools and features, including a MAM (media asset management) with editing and data management capabilities.

After the European continent, Elements approaches the US market and now Canada with their products that provide shared performance media storage solutions at an attractive price point.
