In Amsterdam DVS will present the latest developments of its central media hub SpycerBox. The SpycerBox Ultra is now expanded to 48 TB while increasing the data throughput.

Hanover/Amsterdam. At booth 7.E21 DVS will unveil SpycerBox Ultra with brand new features. DVS doubled the former capacity of SpycerBox to 48 TB which post production houses can utilize as a central NAS (Network Attached Storage) or as a complete SAN (Storage Area Network).

Increased bandwidth is now available as well, further positioning the SpycerBox Ultra as a versatile storage solution. Post production companies and broadcasters will be able to seamlessly integrate SpycerBox Ultra as a NAS version into their existing storage architecture, thanks to the number of supported high-speed interfaces.

Configured as a SAN, SpycerBox Ultra unites both image data and metadata storage in a five HU chassis only. The central media hub provides the opportunity to configure it as a complete SAN system and proves to be a very fast and cost-efficient storage solution.

Expanding several units of SpycerBox Ultra to a cluster solution additionally increases its capacity and bandwidth. The expansion reinforces the media hub’s versatility and flexibility which can be customized for the individual customer’s requirements.

The numerous interface options allow for a trouble-free integration: along with the high-speed interfaces Infiniband, 10 GB/s Ethernet and 8 Gbit Fibre Channel, the user can connect via GigE, eSATA, FireWire and USB.

Henner Steinwede, Product Manager at DVS: “Thanks to the modular construction of SpycerBox Ultra we are able to offer custom tailored solutions for any storage need. DVS is able to implement the complete chain of data-centric workflows with SpycerBox Ultra. Many of these options will be presented at our IBC 2009 booth. Visitors will experience live, just how quickly and reliably high-resolution material can be processed on the SpycerBox Ultra.”
