nStor and Sanbolic Selected by DigiNovations for High Performance
Storage Solution
DigiNovations Deploys Storage Solutions for High Definition Graphics Production
Facility
LAS VEGAS and CARLSBAD, Calif., NAB 2005, April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
nStor Corporation, Inc., a subsidiary of nStor Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:NSO)
and Sanbolic, Inc., today announced that DigiNovations Incorporated, a leader
in digital video production services, has deployed the NexStor 4700 SATA
storage system with Sanbolic's Melio FS software. The solution captures and
stores graphics SD/HD data to help DigiNovations keep pace with growth in the
company's business and consumer video production services.
The solution provided by system integrator 1 Beyond, was selected in a newly
deployed SAN network to bring exciting new digital video production services to
businesses, organizations, and families throughout New England.
The post production graphics department at DigiNovations is equipped to handle
the demands of high definition post production editing in a shared SAN
environment. The solution includes high performance NexStor 4700 FC-SATA
storage systems, Sanbolic's software Melio FS SAN file system and LaScala
Volume Manager, and Harmony series workstations with Redline Rendering Farm
from 1 Beyond. "With nStor and Sanbolic, we achieved our goal of increasing
the speed, efficiency and resiliency of DigiNovations' post-production team,"
said Terry Cullen, President of 1 Beyond. "The solution allows artists to
offload the rendering process to a separate system, freeing up precious system
resources on individual workstations."
"nStor hardware is at the heart of the state-of-the-art SAN that is taking our
video production studio to a new level of productivity and collaborative work,"
said Michael Kolowich, president and executive producer of DigiNovations in
Concord, Massachusetts. "nStor delivers the reliability and scalability we need
in our post-production facility. Combined with Sanbolic's Melio FS and LaScala
software, it's helping us break new ground in streamlining our creative
workflow and reducing our production costs."
DigiNovations has experienced nearly 300% growth in project volume over the
past 12 months. To meet the increased volume demand for high quality graphic
production typical of a busy metropolitan studio, DigiNovations needed to
update its legacy graphics workstations and direct-attached storage environment
with new post production equipment and SAN technology.
Relying on the video-editing expertise of 1 Beyond, the new facility includes a
SAN employing Melio FS shared file system, allowing multiple workstation users
simultaneous access to video content stored on the central NexStor 4700 SATA
storage.
"With the introduction of nStor's OneStor solutions, we look forward to
continued customer successes such as this one with DigiNovations and OneBeyond.
The SATA solutions from nStor are providing excellent performance for
bandwidth intensive video applications," remarked Momchil Michailov, CEO of
Sanbolic.
Since deploying the nStor integrated solution, DigiNovations has already seen
increased graphics production, improved quality, and a reduced time to 'edit'.
"Our collaboration with Sanbolic, provides ideal solutions for high-bandwidth
and performance-driven applications such as video editing and digital imaging,"
added Lisa Hart, nStor's Executive Vice President of Marketing and Alliances.
A similar solution will be demonstrated at the National Association of
Broadcasters Convention (NAB) in Las Vegas, NV April 18-21 in 1 Beyond's booth
location #SL3967.
