Galileo Digital: 100TB 2U Network xStor Smart Storage With axle.ai 2020 Software

Galileo Digital is announcing availability of Smart Storage, a 100TB network storage solution priced at $495/month on a 4-year lease (or $19,995 for purchase), including remote access and search software from axle ai, Inc.

The solution, comprised of a 2U storage server with enterprise-grade hardware components, represents a value while integrated solutions with media management software typically cost over $50,000. Remote access and search are increasingly needed as Covid-19 restrictions require work from home and make travel and in-person collaboration difficult.

While designed for performance and reliability at an aggressive price point, xStor Systems are also a HDD-based storage systems to be painstakingly tested and optimized for use with Lasergraphics film scanners. Meeting the massive storage demands of high resolution, fast scanners is no simple task. Film scanners require enormous capacity, high data write speeds, unrestrained scalability, and a low TCO.

The solution includes a 5-user version of axle ai 2020, the company’s ‘radically simple’ remote access and search software. axle ai 2020 features a browser front end that lets users remotely access and tag, catalog,and search their media files, as well as a range of AI-driven options to automatically discover specific visual and audio attributes within those files.Given the large amounts of video, often multiple terabytes, that can be accumulated in a day of scanning or by a video team in a single shoot, this system saves enormous time and effort by allowing rapid search and management of those media files.

Steve Klenk, CEO, Galileo Digital, said: “We’ve seen increasing demand for our xStor family of network storage arrays, which combine massive storage density and high throughput. Integrating axle ai’s simple remote access software with 100 terabytes of enterprise storage – at this price point – is truly a breakthrough product.“

xStor Smart Storage is available from Galileo Digital and its global resellers, at a price of $19,995.An integrated leasing solution allows customers to purchase the system for $495 per month over a 4-year period with a $1 buyout at the end of the lease.The system includes 100TB of enterprise disk based storage, 10Gb/s and1Gb/s network interfaces, and the axle ai 2020 remote management and search application. Optional software modules – including AI-driven speech transcription, face recognition and object recognition – are available with prices starting at under $2 per hour of footage analyzed.
