Siggraph: Pogo Linux StorageDirector Q-Series Storage Appliance Powered by OSNexus Software

OSNexus Corporation and Pogo Linux Corporation announced the StorageDirector Q-Series system that delivers a simplified and scalable content distribution and storage solution for media, entertainment and broadcast users.

The company and Pogo Linux will demonstrate the solution alongside syGlass, a scientific VR software provider, at Siggraph 2019 that happed July 30 to August 1 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The StorageDirector Q-Series combines the QuantaStor SDS platform with Pogo-certified hardware to provide enhanced streaming and active archiving of digital content with enterprise availability and data services in an integrated, high-capacity storage system.

Additionally, the StorageDirector Q-Series storage solution provides media processing capabilities while affording the operational agility and flexibility to handle unexpected media workflow demands.

StorageDirector Q-Series benefits include:

Performance, flexible infrastructure that reduces costs and storage management times
Addresses a range of demanding media and entertainment workloads when compared to legacy solutions
Ability to scale up to 100PB, enabling organizations to hyper-scale as media files increase exponentially
Supports video and audio formats such as 4k, 360° and 60 frame video

“There are a number of scalability challenges in broadcast and media storage that traditional storage platforms are unable to meet in a performant and cost-efficient manner,” said Steven Umbehocker, CEO, OSNexus. “We are excited to build on our partnership with Pogo to deliver next-generation SDS solutions that overcome these challenges while increasing IT agility.“

“With the increased speed and capacity of the StorageDirector Q-Series, we believe this solution to be the first new storage system that meets the needs of modern media workloads,” said Paul Bibaud, VP sales and product development, Pogo Linux. “Thanks to our relationship with syGlass, we’re able to showcase this product to attendees for the first time and explain how the OSNEXUS and Pogo solution is the right combination of features for their video and audio needs.“

It enables IT organizations to deploy both scale-out and scale-up NAS storage cluster designs, providing the tools to match the performance requirements and hardware design goals for media workflows.
