Cube Portable Media Storage by Elements

Elements (Syslink GmbH) has announced a new generation of CUBE, a portable high-performance media storage with up to 32TB in a small form factor chassis.

Even when fully populated, the latest version of the mobile storage unit puts less than 8kg (18lbs) on the scale, allowing users to take their media assets on commercial airlines as carry-on luggage.

But the technical makeover of CUBE shows improvements; in addition to supporting SAS, SATA and SSDs, it now has USB 3.0 and eSATA slots on board, while also allowing the use of ingest cards. New cooling fans ensure whisper-quiet operation.

CUBE is more than just portable performance storage though. The set of field-proven and intuitive workflow enhancement features and media asset management tools embedded simplify the transfer of media assets to central storage at the post-production facilities. It also provides the option to enable company’s range of workflow enhancement tools, including the media library, a comprehensive media asset management and editing tool. Equipped with a full-text search engine, a file manager and task management tool for customized workflow automation, the web-based Media Library caters to every important step of a digital post-production workflow and offers features that simplify and streamline everyday tasks and approval processes.

The CUBE is available through the firm and its worldwide reseller channel.
