The EzPetaSAN Lite scales from a budget-friendly 64TB up to over 1PB of storage; the original EzPetaSAN starts at 240TB and expands to over 20PB.

The EzPetaSAN product family is for large video libraries and allows multiple users to simultaneously edit HD to 8K+ formats directly from the storage.

“Our customers have been asking for the reliability, scalability, and high performance offered by the EzPetaSAN but at a lower entry point,” said Terry Cullen, CEO and founder, 1 Beyond. “EzPetaSAN Lite is designed to reach every type of facility including those with smaller storage requirements and limited budgets as well as those that need to expand to 1PB of storage.“

EzPetaSAN’s modular architecture is composed of an EzPetaHub, a central control system which hosts company’s HyperSpace OS and the file system, and EzPetaBlk storage blocks, which can be added to the system to increase performance and capacity without down time.

All EzPetaSAN systems feature increased reliability with block-level checksums allowing automatic corrupt data correction, increased RAID levels, SAS multi-pathing, and redundant power supplies and fans. Considerably higher performance than traditional RAID-5 or 6 arrays is possible due to RAM and SSD cache design.

User connectivity can be 1, 10 or 40Gb/s to ensure each workstation has throughput needed for dealing with larger file sizes.

Three EzPetaBlk storage block versions are available, each of which can be populated with 4, 6, 8 or 10TB enterprise 12Gb SAS HDDs. EzPetaBlk 16, which has 16 disks, can be used with the EzPetaSAN Lite . Either the EzPetaBlk 60 or the EzPetaBlk 90, which have 60 or 90 disks respectively, can be used with the EzPetaSAN.
