Proware Cooperates With Atto

Proware Technology Corp. announced that Proware’s JBOD series has been qualified for use with the ATTO Technology, Inc.‘s FastStream Storage Controller offering a solution to expand into the Avid market.

Extended disk volume and reliable performance will be the optimal choice for keeping multiple users in real-time. The growing needs of HD editors will benefit from superior workflow, data protection and enhanced productivity when using Proware’s JBOD series with ATTO’s FastStream SC series.

ATTO Technology provides RAID solutions for AVID systems allowing customers to dynamically protect, manage and extend existing high-performance storage systems. As an Avid Technology development partner, ATTO is committed to providing compatibility for Avid systems. The FastStream is a high-performance, scalable RAID controller that delivers data protection for applications in DVA and IT infrastructures including high-definition video post-production, color grading, digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup, audio post, email compliance, data warehousing, data mining and transaction based environments.

For continuous data protection, the solution is robust enough to support the throughput demands put forth by today’s high-end video applications in the Avid market. To reach the mounting needs of high-capacity expansion, high-data throughput, availability and flexibility in configuration, Proware’s EP-4423JD-S3S3, EP-3163JD-S3S3, and EP-2123JD-S3S3 with single and dual-loop for flexibility application, allows customers to flexibly extend existing high-performance storage systems.

“Proware’s high-density JBOD series with high-performance SAS drives are ideally matched for enterprise-level transactional applications such as OLTP.” said Tony Chang, PM director at Proware Technology Corp., “Our testing indicated that the ATTO Controller effectively creates a high-performance shared storage solution when used with Proware’s JBODs in high-bandwidth data applications such as video editing, VTL, and video surveillance. All of the JBODs major components including drives, power supplies, and fans are redundant and removable for easy maintenance.”

The combination of Proware’s JBOD series and ATTO FastStream RAID Storage Controllers provides you with an affordable solution that answers four critical needs: enhancing system performance, allowing shared storage, providing data protection and scalability for future storage growth to expand AVID market.
