4U FC RAID Up to 108TB, Certified for Up to 4x2K

Bright Technologies, Inc., developer of technologies for low-latency high-performance IT environments, announced BrightRaid Avior, a fast and cost-effective cross-platform fibre storage solution with web-based RAID monitoring and management tools.

Avior is integrated into existing workflows as direct-attached or shared storage with features and tools that simplify administration and accelerate everyday tasks.

It’s a storage-only 4U solution, connects up to 8x16Gb FC with capacity from 24TB to 108TB.

Its storage management and monitoring interface makes both integration and maintenance fast and easy and simplifies daily routines in a storage environment.

Building on Bright’s recent additions to the BrightDrive range of ‘all-in-one’ servers, Avior broadens the company’s appeal to a wider market. Like the new Astella models – Astella Dx and Nx – Avior accommodates post and broadcast facilities as well as any media-dependent operation that requires low-latency, high-performance SAN or NAS-based workflows.

"Avior enhances our turnkey offering by giving our customers a high-performance storage appliance that provides the outstanding quality Bright customers are accustomed to," said Shawn Clark, Bright Technologies’ director of sales. "Avior, a simple, yet powerful and versatile RAID array for both SAN and NAS-based workflows, has been qualified and certified by our own experts to deliver up to 4x2K material specifically for media streaming."
 
"Avior is a very cost effective way to simplify the storage environment while still providing reliable, high-speed performance that supports up to 4 x 2K or 2 x 4K concurrent streams," added Roger L. Beck, CTO, Bright Technologies. "Avior’s many and varied features ease installation, manage daily operations, and reduce maintenance over time."

BrightRaid Avior is available from the company or its worldwide network of resellers with prices from $23,000.
