 Burbank, CA, November 1, 2008 - -Archion Technologies, the media and entertainment industry's leading provider of intelligent storage for content creation, will be exhibiting their award winning Storage Area Network (SAN) Solutions at Worship for Facilities Conference and Expo (WFX) in Houston from November 6th - November 7th. Archion, founded in 1999, has become the storage standard for many of the leading Film Studios, Broadcasters, and Post Facilities throughout North America. In addition, Houses of Worship like Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Willow Creek Community Church, Gateway Church and others have turned to Archion for guidance on shared storage solutions.
Kenneth Copeland Ministries implemented Archion's Alliance Pro™ SAN Storage Solution earlier in the year to enhance their HD workflows. "We went non linear about 4-5 years ago, and one challenge we ran into was that we were dealing with multiple manufacturers. We re-thought what we were doing, and we looked into Final Cut and Apple, but identified some aspects of Apple storage that did not match our particular needs and workflow," said Mr. Kelley Hemphill, Senior Technical Purchasing Agent, with Kenneth Copeland Ministries. "We continued looking into alternatives for storage. We ultimately decided to bundle Archion with our Final Cut systems, after we learned that Archion had a proven track record working with Avid and Apple systems. We decided to go with a SAN for the online storage, and recently added Archion's Alliance Pro SAN Solution with 24 TB of storage capacity to our workflow."
