EzHDSAN | Shared storage solutions for video editing

Easy Installation:

Completely pre-configured, and tested – turnkey.
Completely user installable for low installation costs.
Simple connection – one standard Ethernet cable from 1 Beyond EzHDSAN™ appliance to each workstation – nothing else!
No intermediate switches, extra wires, complicated routing or Fibre.
Make simple EzHDSAN additions on each workstation and installation is complete.

Bullet Proof Reliability:

RAID 6 (or duall RAID 6) protectiion* allows up to 2 (or 4) disk failures with no data loss. Even more protection wiith hot spares.
Hot spares for 24/7 automatiic rebuild with no intervention thereby not interrupting work or renderiing while maintaining full protection.
Insert hot swappable spare disk and it becomes new hot spare.
Background rebuild allows work to continue while still fully protected*.
EzHDSAN 24 Power Supply is Triple Redundant 2+1, 950 watt. Supplies are modular and hot swappable for no SAN interruption if a power supply fails.
Dual or triple AC inputs so EzHDSAN can be powered by separate sourcesto protect against external power failure.

High Performance for Most Popular High Definition Editing:

EzHDSAN supports simultaneous Real-Time HD multi-stream editing in most popular formats: DVCPRO HD, P2, VariCam, AVC-Intra, XDCAM EX, HDV, DNX220HD, MJPEG, MPEG 2/I-frame, ProRes 422 & 4444, Infinity JPEG 2000 and others.
Workstatiions or laptops wiith no internal HD capable storage able to edit HD using EzHDSAN as its HD project storage.
Each additional workstation has its own fully dedicated 1Gb line with private hardware processiing. No sharing, congestion or single point of faillure due to intermediate switches.

High Number of Simultaneous HD Users:

Number of users / workstations on 24 or 48 disk EzHDSANs start at 6 users and can be increased at any time to a maximum of 14. Smaller units service 4 to 6 users also with real-time multi-stream HD.
Can also be connected to the company’s Local Area Network (Ethernet) allowing an unlimited number of authorized users complete data access to store and retrieve data at high bandwidth.

Low Initial Investment with Modular Scaling to High Storage Capacity:

Completely user installable for minimal installation investment.
Lower cost workstations and even laptops with the processing power to edit HD but without HD capable storage can now be used for HD editing with EzHDSAN.
Configurations start at 8 disks (16TBs of raw storage) and larger units will scale up to 24, 48 or 96TBs of raw storage.
Larger 24 or 48 disk units hold 20 to 84TBs at double RAID 6 + 2 Hot Spares and 14 Workstations without additional boxes of equipment.
84TBs of protected storage for example equals 3,360 hours of DVCPRO HD 720P/24 video or 20TBs equals 800 hours.
Additional storage is available using additional optional external arrays.

Easy Maintenance with Compact Simple Appliance Design:

EzHDSAN is one Appliance box with dedicated Gigabit workstation ports on the back and removable hot-swappable disks on the front.
Rugged travel case with shock absorbers and removable front and back covers also available.
Modular and redundant Power Supplies on 24 and 48 disk units. New power supply modules Hot-Swappable; not necessary to shut down EzHDSAN to replace power supply module. Hot Spare power supply module also available bringing total to four.
Authorized remote service access availlable for maintenance checks and updates from within company or remotelly over Internet. Optional capability can be used for off-hour software updates and during regular hours will not interrupt SAN operation.

Easy Web Based Predictive Status:

EzHDSAN incorporates predictive failure technology from the top 1 Beyond IntelliRaid products. All data disks continually monitored for 7 predictive operational limits, e.g. read retries. If any predictive parameter goes out of limits or if there is a failure, EzHDSAN can send email notification to 3 separate parties e.g. the IT department and an editor.
EzHDSAN can connect to a LAN with its separate Ethernet ports. Controller or any disk status can be accessed without interrupting EzHDSAN’s operation using a simple Web GUI. This allows password access from any department remotelly to investiigate a predictive failure notification and determine its severity.
If necessary, spare disk can be hot swapped to become new hot spare when it is convenient thereby greatlly increasiing maintenance efficiency.

Open Platform Compatibility:

EzHDSAN is compatible across Windows 7, Windows XP, Apple and Linux workstations, all showing full 84TB volumes.

High Value:

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership, price per Seat and per TB of any HD Shared storage in the industry.
