By October 9, 2008News

Burbank, CA, October 9, 2008 ÜArchion Technologies, the Media and Entertainment industry’s leading provider of intelligent storage for content creation, today announced that New York based post house Full Circle Post NYC has acquired the company’s award winning “NODE 800™” Storage Area Network system for their growing post demands.

“Archion’s NODE 800 is working out great for us,” said Rob Burgos, Owner/Senior Editor, Full Circle Post NYC. “Our editors here are very happy with its performance. We are currently cutting 26 episodes of a lifestyle reality TV series for HGTV, and the NODE is handling the large demand for storage capacity perfectly.”

He adds, “Archion has also provided us with really great customer support. During our initial acclimation period, all we had to do was get on the phone and talk with the experts at Archion, and they walked us through the process, every step of the way. NODE was the best product that fit the need for the work flow of our current projects. We will be integrating NODE as well for numerous future projects.”

Virtual Media was the NY based Archion authorized reseller that implemented NODE™ at Full Circle Post. “When Full Circle Post approached me with their need for a robust, fast and affordable shared storage solution,” said Spencer Wolfe, Virtual Media’s Strategic Account Manager, “the Archion NODE was the first product that came to mind. Its ease of use, flexible configurations, and unmatched throughput made this the perfect solution for Full Circle. With the NODE’s performance and Archion’s attention to the customer, it was an easy choice.”
