EzPetaSAN is a response to demands for storage with sufficient space for large libraries of video allowing multiple users to simultaneously edit 4K to 8K and higher video formats directly from the storage. The EzPetaSAN with 1 Beyond HyperSpace OS™ offers a unique building block approach where users can start with as few as 24 disks (hard disk drives or SSDs) and increase as needs grow. Volume sizes up to 6 petabytes are available now with 20+ petabytes on the horizon. Client connectivity over 1, 10, 20 and 40Gbps direct connections ensure editors optimum performance. RAM and SSD cache further improve performance and lower power requirements by reducing actual disk access. The EzPetaSAN has redundant power supplies and fans. The hot-swap, modular, tool-less design makes service and maintenance easy with no down-time.
