Ultra-High Performance 4K Video Storage Solution

EdtistorOmni-550EditStor Omni is an intelligent, purpose-built video storage solution engineered for the most robust post-production workflows, from 4K and 8K video editing to finishing. While there’s an abundance of video storage solutions available, EditStor Omni is a proven 4K video storage solution ready for team collaboration.

Shared Storage Enhanced to handle 4K, 8K and more.
The intelligent and uniquely architected EditStor Omni delivers unmatched performance in its price category. When technical and post-production executives consider an investment in an ultra high- performance shared storage solution, several factors must be considered: How many editors will be collaborating? Are there colorists, visual effects artists and graphics designers. How is the media captured and ingested? Will the media be compressed or transcoded? Is it 4K media? Will there be 8K media in the future. Is the media streaming directly from the shared storage? Is there likely to be significant growth to the creative team in the near future? These and more factors help determine how powerful you need your video editing storage system to be.

The EditStor Omni delivers a true 4000 MB/second of bandwidth from a single 24 bay server and up to an exceptional 8000 MB/second with a single expansion chassis. These speeds offer real-time collaboration for medium to large creative teams, supporting 4K, 8K and uncompressed media. More importantly, EditStor Omni provides sustained performance across large numbers of editorial systems each with multiple streams.

Collaborative Storage with the Proper Balance of Functionality, Manageability and Simplicity.
As a purpose-built shared storage system for 4k video editing and related workflows, EditStor Omni, like the EditStor Velo, is broadly and regularly tested for current compatibility with the leading applications such as Avid Media Composer and Pro Tools (with the transparent bin locking), Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Creative Cloud for Teams, Apple Final Cut Pro, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, Scratch, and more. In addition, Archion was the first network storage manufacturer to deliver a NewTek NDI certified solution for next generation IP production workflows.

More than just the content creation applications, it is critical to ensure interoperability and seamless integration with software and hardware that run your comprehensive workflow tools and applications, such as media asset managers, transcoders, ingest servers, playout servers, etc.. EditStor Omni is a Linux based shared storage platform that supports cross OS networks and industry standard IT file transfer protocols simultaneously. This means maximum connectivity to, and integration of, the servers and workstations that drive your workflow.

Concerned about who has access to what media on your video storage solution? EditStor offers a comprehensive set of user and group management, as well as user system security and administrative access. This includes the support of an internal LDAP as well as the seamless integration for external user authentication tools, such as Active Directory and Open Directory.

Simple media management is another important component unique to leading purpose-built shared storage for video editing? EditStor Omni allows users to create storage pools of any size as well the flexibility of expanding those pools dynamically, without any downtime or performance degradation. Within the pools, media shares are logically presented for quick and easy identification.

As 4K video and other media fill up the your EditStor video storage solutions, you can either dynamically add an expansion chassis that meets your size requirements without any downtime or use the internal back up and replication tools to move the media off to a different tier of storage, including fast tape backup (LTO/LTFS) for long term archive.

A Shared Storage System to Meet your Specific Requirements
Broadcast and video editing demands vary enormously, especially in regards to 4K and 8K video, but EditStor Omni was designed with this in mind. Multiple 10GigE Copper or 10Gig Fiber are standard and 40 GigE is available for the more bandwidth intensive applications such as color correction. While EditStor Omni is uniquely engineered for exceptional performance over lower cost and higher density spinning disk (HDD), EditStor Omni is available in a Flash (all SSD) model if your workflows require other performance characteristics like lower latency and greater IOPS.

The EditStor Omni is valued by media executives and professionals because the technology is proven and the support is second to none. Regardless of the type of media organization you run, if your team is creating content for professional use, you can have the confidence that that an EditStor Omni will enhance your post production environment for many years to come.
