Infortrend Optimizes EonStor DS 4000 Gen2 Storage for VOD

Infortrend Technology, Inc. announced that its EonStor DS 4000 Gen2 features enhanced AV Optimization to better meet the needs of VOD applications and boost the system with an increased performance, supporting up to 9,400 simultaneous streams.

Company’s AV Optimization provides a stable high throughput and smooth video streaming through its intelligent firmware, which automatically detects I/O behaviors and prompts the system to react accordingly to ensure the users’ video watching experience isn’t compromised.

To validate the performance improvement, Infortrend tested the AV Optimization function using the SPC-2 benchmark. The results were outstanding: EonStor DS 4000 Gen2 is able to support up to 9,400 simultaneous streams, making it the choice for throughput intensive VOD applications such as entertainment, education and videoconferencing.

With a consistent high throughput, EonStor DS 4000 Gen2 achieves 11,000MB/s read and 5,500MB/s write performance, which can support eight and five 4K streams respectively. This performance makes it a solution for media editing as well.

Thomas Kao, senior director, product planning, Infortrend, commented: “Since last year we’ve been increasingly focusing on creating the best storage solutions for media and entertainment, and AV optimization is a step in the right direction. We are confident that the results achieved with this feature will make a great difference for all companies in need of VOD solutions.“

EonStor DS 4000 Gen2 is available in two form factors: a LFF 3U/16bay and a SFF 2U/24bay.
