IEEI: Meeting Digital Workflow Demands!
We've sure been busy this summer at IEEI; whether it's working hand in hand with Apace Systems to fascilitate exciting new workflow systems like the one for Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), maintaining relationships with countless contacts made this spring at NAB, or just offering simplistic storage solutions to our satisfied customers. Our mantra has been DCS - Digital Content Consolidation using the Apace Systems storage tools. Imagine the time saved in a production environment having all graphics stored in one central (Apace NAS) folder. No more looking for the latest version on multiple nodes. That feature alone is saving customers time and money. See what other features we have for you!

Have you heard of RAID-6? It allows for TWO drives to fail, as compared to ONE drive failure with RAID-5. Apace NAS RAID-6 is 250+ Mega Bytes per second throughput. Our competitors are 30-50MBps using RAID-6. We blow them away with price and performance.

Give us a call and find out how simple our solution can be. Our customers are amazed with the easy installation, (sometimes less than 1 hour), thorough and FREE tech support as well as our dedication to meeting your very specific needs.

Trinity Broadcasting Network Installs 18TB eStor Solution!
  Avid Unity Off Load Success! TBN Logo
Apace Systems has successfully deployed an exciting new workflow, facilitating consolidation of all Trinity Broadcasting Networking (TBN) digital content storage needs, using Apace Systems latest 18TB eStor platform Network Storage platform. eStor high performance Network Attach Storage (NAS) platform offers over 250Mbytes/sec of throughput using RAID-6 protection for digital content protection, provides the capability to recover from two simultaneous disk failures with its hot swappable 750GB s-ATAII drives.

TBN decided to use eStor for its massive available storage and its unique workflow in support of Avid Unity storage Off-load. As a hybrid primary networked storage and archive storage TBN decided to deploy eStor for four of their digital media workgroups storage consolidation. Namely, via flexible Multi-GE network connectivity (a) TBN team was able to offer a consolidate shared network storage for their FCP editing workflow (b) Consolidate their network storage for their Graphics workgroup (c) Leverage eStor built in FTP server functionality to push/Pull content to remote off-site as a storage mail-box (d) Most important of all be able to off-load TBN’s AVID Unity media content to eStor.

The task of interoperability of Unity and eStor is handled by offering Gateway functionality between AVID and eStor as well as protecting Avid data using eStor’s RAID-6 data protection scheme. As a part of Avid Off-load support, all the Avid MXF files can be off-loaded to eStor as a disk based archive for Avid Unity and facilitate opening up room on the precious AVID Unity Storage platform. To facilitate the ease of storage management for all workgroups’ consolidated storage, Apace Systems’ eStor is managed via a Web based GUI by the TBN administrator from any local IP node no-site or off-site over Internet. With this simple but power management tool, all the rights of access to dedicated storage partitions of workgroups are monitored and changed from one central location. Given the benefit of eStor’s Gigabit Ethernet LAN based connectivity and heterogeneous support of MAC, PC and UNIX and Linux based client nodes any workgroup at TBN can be supported over simple GE IP connection over their LAN network. All the nodes in the different workgroups see eStor as their network drive and interact with it as they would with their local drive. The benefit of eStor very high throughput optimization for push/pull of digital content such as uncompressed video, allows eStor to play an important role balancing required response time from different TBN workgroups all from the same System. In the case of Avid unity off-load, Apace Systems has offered an end-to-end approach to addressing the management of the content from and back to Avid Unity as a part of archive and retrieve storage process transparent to the Avid Unity and its editing workgroup. In summary, TBN has been able to facilitate consolidation of all of its storage needs and off-load its AVID Unity avoiding complex archive to tape. Also, TBN consolidated storage strategy over IP based LAN allows for ease of access and view from of all of its digital content from any IP network over the world.
