DataDirect Networks has announced that the company's Silicon Storage Appliances have been certified for use with Matrox DigiSuite realtime editing platforms. DataDirect's Silicon Storage Appliances allow multiple Matrox DigiSuite-equipped workstations to share the same media assets and projects in a realtime, non-linear fashion, significantly improving productivity and workflow in digital facilities.
Silicon Storage Appliances overcome the many limitations of first-generation storage networks, bringing application acceleration with high QoS in a plug and play appliance. The Silicon Storage Appliance serves at the core of the storage network, bringing unbeatable and guaranteed bandwidth to the production environment. Silicon Storage Appliances currently power Matrox-based broadcast environments; this certification follows impressive results from Matrox testing, and common DataDirect and Matrox partner deployments around the world.
"Using DataDirect's Silicon Storage Appliances as the SAN infrastructure for network broadcast studios ensure that video professionals can realize maximum productivity benefits from networked DigiSuite solutions," Lee Kaburis, product manager, Matrox Video Products Group, said. "We were very impressed with how easy DataDirect's storage appliance approach made the SAN setup and management and in the various configurations we tested were also impressed with its performance capabilities."
"Using a Matrox DigiSuite realtime editing solution enabled by a Silicon Storage Appliance infrastructure provides customers with a high performance, easily scaled storage network that delivers significant workflow efficiencies while reducing operating costs," Robert Woolery, vice president, strategic development, DataDirect Networks, said. "The Silicon Storage Appliance provides an enabling combination of simplicity and affordability for broadcast and digital networks."
