When several independent storage are deployed in the M&E studio, the common problems are their inability to on-demand scale out performance and capacity, complicated management of isolated storage with separate file directories, troublesome distribution of workloads between storage appliances, and effort-consuming backup. Suitable for medium and small post-production teams with around 10-20 creators, EonStor GS scale-out storage allows to add GS one by one to the cluster – up to 4 appliances, based on the current demands for editing/rendering and archiving. This linearly increases performance for collaborative 4K/8K media post-production workflow and expands capacity up to 40PB. The scale-out function integrates multiple GS appliances into a single file system to provide easy file management and organization.
GS scale-out unified storage also features the auto-balancing function to simplify workloads distribution among each GS, including a newly added one, for getting optimized cluster performance and reducing IT storage management burdens.

Moreover, it supports tier configuration to combine the performance all-flash GS (for 4K/8K editing) and the entry-level GSe with HDD (for storage and backup) in a single cluster under a single directory. In this way, users can enjoy performance and high-capacity storage with file management. For example, editors can fulfill project backup with 1 click without manually copying it between SSD and HDD storage folders.
“When needed, M&E users can expand GS scale-out storage hassle-free to enjoy high-performance workflow and quick file access,” noted Frank Lee, senior director, product planning.
