OCZ and Accusys Extend Partnership

With Deneva 2 SSD qualification for ExaSAN 8-bay DAS

OCZ Technology Group, Inc. and Accusys Inc., provider of RAID products, jointly announced an extended strategic partnership that provides the Accusys ExaSAN 8-bay RAID system (Model B08S2-P2) with Deneva 2 storage capacity options.

In addition to the 480GB Deneva 2 SSD initially qualified on the ExaSAN B08S2-P2 DAS platform, a smaller 240GB Deneva 2 capacity option is now qualified for customer selection.

The ExaSAN B08S2-P2 RAID storage system is a cost-effective, high-performance, small form factor DAS solution that is pre-installed to support up to eight OCZ Deneva 2 SSDs (supporting 240GB or 480GB capacities). With Deneva 2 SSDs implemented, terabytes of storage capacity is available to make this DAS system suited for the HD editing process, as the system can store large 2K and 4K files easily while delivering file copies, migrations, and transfers at very high speed. Coupled with equalization features that move files without frame drops, the compact 8-bay ExaSAN DAS system is  transportable and can operate on-set and on-location to capture content.

"We are very pleased that our partnership with OCZ has extended to additional qualifications of the Deneva 2 SSD Series as our B08S2-P2 DAS system customers enjoy the speed and capabilities that the OCZ drives deliver," said L.R. Wang, R&D dept. VP, Accusys. "With Deneva 2 SSDs implemented, the cost-effectiveness of this shared DAS solution makes it well-suited for small-to-medium-sized post-production shops not willing or capable of using an expensive FC infrastructure, as well as the manpower to support it."

"We have worked closely with Accusys to provide the capabilities and performance to make the ExaSAN 8-bay DAS system one of the best in the industry and look forward to our continued partnership," said Wayne Eisenberg, SVP sales for OCZ. "With our Deneva 2 SSDs implemented, the transcoding step of adapting compressed files for viewing or editing on different playback devices is no longer required as these drives deliver incredibly fast transactional performance regardless of whether the files are in compressed or uncompressed formats."

Deneva 2 SATA III-based drives are designed to solve today’s enterprise challenges and address the limitations that HDD technology imposes on IT infrastructures. The series delivers performance while meeting the reliability, security and economical needs of enterprise storage environments. The Deneva 2 Series maximizes IO/s per dollar enabling increased data throughput with lower power consumption and a smaller operating footprint.

The 8-bay ExaSAN Model B08S2-P2 DAS system, with qualified OCZ Deneva 2 SSDs, was demonstrated in the Accusys exhibit at the NAB Show.
