G-RACK 12 solution provides centralized, performance NAS geared towards content-demanding workflows. It is designed to work as a high-capacity storage resource for Media Asset Management (MAM) and Digital Asset Management (DAM) applications running on Windows or macOS servers. P5 Software Suite offers platform-agnostic data management software for archiving, backup and cloning of data. The browser-based software comprises four modules, which use different methods to secure, and restore data: P5 Synchronize, P5 Backup, P5 Backup2Go and P5 Archive.

A G-RACK high-performance NAS solution is considerably empowered by the embedded Archiware P5, so that data management becomes extremely easy“, observes Dr. Marc Batschkus, manager, business development, Archiware. “Only an automatic backup really protects your data. P5 Backup solves this challenge and offers maximum flexibility with disk, tape and cloud storage as target. Long-term protection of assets needs an archive to centralize, reference re-use and monetize media. With customizable metadata fields, thumbnails and proxies, P5 Archive gives you insight and access at any time from your browser.

P5 is installed on G-RACK 12 as an app without external server involvement. The P5 modules run on Mac, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and Synology. The G-RACK 12 NAS solution employs its own customized OS software (G-NAS OS), incorporating the stable Linux kernel and BTRFs file system.

G-NAS OS capabilities to run native applications on the G-RACK 12 high-performance NAS solution transforms the NAS storage device into a dedicated workflow appliance,” said Mike Williams, VP, advanced technologies, G-Technology, client solutions group, Western Digital. “The integration of G-RACK 12 and P5 allows for a more efficient and effective backup and restore solution with a directly connected LTO library. This reduces backup windows and network traffic.

The G-RACK 12 NAS solution and P5 Software Suite integration was presented at the IBC Show 2017.
