Disk Archive Launches ALTO Expansion At IBC2014

News Image
Disk Archive Corporation (IBC Booth 8.B38F) has launched a new expansion chassis for its ALTO tapeless long-term storage system. The EX-60 Storage Expansion is to meet "growing demand for larger capacity and more densely packed media storage."

ALTO's disk-based cold storage solution can accommodate up to 275 TB of storage in each 5RU module, with an exceptionally low power dissipation of around 1 watt per Terabyte. By adding the new 4RU EX-60, ALTO users can increase this capacity by up to 340TB per EX-60 chassis, and each ALTO can support two EX-60s for a possible 955TB per node.
The EX-60 can be populated with locally sourced off-the-shelf disks on a buy-as-needed basis, with any mix of disk size and vendor in any slot.
"Demand for storage is growing exponentially, driven by new formats including UHD, multiple versioning, the greater number of origination sources, higher shooting ratios, and the desire to keep more of a production's original pre-edit content," said Alan Hoggarth, Managing Director, Disk Archive Corporation.
"ALTO offers the enormous benefits of a completely tapeless solution for archive and content library storage, and with the EX-60, it provides denser and more efficient storage than ever before."
