Designed for enterprise, media and entertainment, medical imaging and video surveillance industries, both the SV5000G2 and SV3000G2 offer high bandwidth/throughput and IOPS in 3U/16 bay and 2U/24 bay form factor. They are available in a variety of host connections/ports, such as 8Gb FC, 10GE iSCSI, while the expansion enclosures are connected via multiple 6Gb SAS ports.

UIT is showed both the SV5000G2 and SV3000G2 products at the NAB 2012 Show, April 16-19, 2012, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV.

Utilizing Intel Jasper Forest’s high-speed I/O and embedded storage features, SV5000G2, with dual 8Gb FC controllers, delivers a 5,100 MB/s of sustained throughput for the media and entertainment industry, where demand for proper handling of 4K video and other high resolution video is becoming more of a daily routine. Aside from its performance, the SV5000G2 also supports enterprise features such as snapshot, thin-provisioning, replication (both asynchronous and synchronous), cloning, mirroring and more.

The SV3000G2 leverages the Intel Bromolow platform, which supports a wide of Intel processors. It addresses and provides lower cost storage solutions while still keeping enterprise features of SV5000G2. The form factor of SV3000G2 is identical to SV5000G2, in both chassis and controller.

It is expected to ship to the North America market in Q3 2012.

The storage capacity of the SV5000G2 and SV3000G2 can be expanded by connecting them to two dense SV4060j 4U/60 bay expansion chassis, reaching a 410TB total storage capacity.

"UIT is excited to announce the SV5000G2 and SV3000G2 products that are made up of both Intel technology and UIT’s advanced software and storage expertise," said Tony Chen, CEO, UIT. "These two new products are the latest members of UIT’s Unified Storage offerings. They are designed for medium to small enterprises, for general purpose data storage and cloud data center deployments. The superior throughput of the SV5000G2 family has made it a perfect weapon for the media and entertainment industry. And the lower cost SV3000G2 family make it the ideal platform for an entry level solution in video surveillance, medical imaging and cloud data center applications, where the cost and energy savings are the major consideration in choosing a solution."

Many solutions and applications have been developed on UIT’s unified storage platform, especially the SV5000G2 and SV3000G2. The SV5000G2 is widely used in AsiaPac and Europe, especially in the Chinese market. Typical applications of SV5000G2 are HD video editing, streaming, storage, databases, HPC and medical/healthcare. The industries that have deployed the SV5000G2 range from telecommunications, media and entertainment and super computing centers to oil and gas exploration, education and major research institutes.

The SV5000G2 is available to the North America market. The SV3000G2 will be available in Q3 2012.
