Storage DNA helps audiovisual professionals master their workflow to increase efficiency while making substantial savings. Storage DNA's commitment to innovation and advanced technologies is its hallmark. Its innovative workflow solutions enable you to archive, search and retrieve, restore and directly access your assets at incredible speed, while controlling all media storage costs.
REVOLUTIONARY LTO/LTFS NEARLINE ARCHIVING & STORAGE
DNA LTO is an Open Linear Tape open linear tape archiving technology (LTO) with a tape file system (LTFS). It is the most reliable and cost-effective solution for long-term storage, especially for the huge number of multimedia files generated by today's "media pipelines".
This storage medium plays a critical role in data management, the quantity of which is growing exponentially. DNA LTO is at the crossroads of nearline storage and archiving, using LTO/LTFS tapes to offer a distinctly cost-effective infrastructure, with speeds ten times faster than a networked solution. It's a unique software solution designed specifically for LTFS. DNA LTO maximizes the capacity of these "Direct Access" tapes for a never-before-proposed workflow.
Developed for media environments, it offers unrivalled speed for data movement, search, restore and access to your multimedia content.
DNA LTO enables you to modernize your media pipeline, building scalable, flexible, searchable and secure archiving at lower cost.
MEDIA PROTECTION & FAST ARCHIVE LOCATION
DNA LTO enables you to archive all your data in LTO/LTFS extremely quickly and reliably. In addition to checksum verification of all content written to LTO tape, DNA LTO also enables you to find media precisely with the integration of the Archive Asset Manager. You'll save time with Smart Search, which includes advanced parameters such as tagging and annotations, locating any archived and/or indexed media.
LTO AS A MEANS OF PRODUCTION
2K, 4K and sometimes 8K are becoming commonplace. These wide formats increase thestress on infrastructures. We're constantly chasing storage space for high-resolution projects.
DNA LTO takes the strain out of storage management, with a unique, fully-automated LTO tape conform workflow that lets you edit in low resolution and get your rushes on tape in high resolution.
CONTROL THE INCREASE IN POST-PRODUCTION SZ STORAGE
Many post-production facilities are rapidly outgrowing their network storage capacity, due to the constant influx of new projects, the extension of existing projects, and the inadequacy of storage management tools.
DNA LTO is the only solution offering automated backups, DR, and archiving for Avid® and Adobe®.
A high-performance, easy-to-use data transport engine engine provides fast, comprehensive content movement to and from LTO/LTFS tapes, enabling easy management of storage capacity.
DNAfabric is an extensive, scalable data management platform. It connects to multiple storage endpoints (file systems, object) on site, remotely and in the cloud.
It enables organizations to manage their increasingly scattered data more securely and efficiently, with a comprehensive set of tools via a single interface.
DNAFabric ARCHITECTURE
DNAfabric is powered by an extensive cluster architecture. A scalable centralized controller provides management, metadata and analysis services, while extended data managers provide data visibility and mobility services.
DNAfabric components can be deployed on virtual instances, on site or in the cloud.
