LEITCH SELECT CIPRICO’S NETARRAY

LEITCH Technology have chosen Ciprico’s NETarray 1000 RAID solution as the storage component for all of their VR Technology line of broadcast video server solutions.
The NETarray changes the means by which storage is managed, being the first RAID product to provide storage management by way of a built in web server.
The NETarray is managed by using standard Internet tools such as a web browser. Event notification is provided using standard SMTP email or SNMP. The firmware can be upgraded using FTP. Because these tools are available on all platforms, this makes the NETarray a platform-independent solution. The built in web server was the key feature Leitch was looking to include with their video server application.
The NETarray 1000 meets Leitch Technology’s video server requirement for a high performance solution that provides continuous playback in a 24x7 production setting. Leitch Technology, a leading provider of high-quality digital video and audio solutions to the broadcasting, telecommunications, cable and Internet industries, sells video server packages to television networks and affiliates, cable networks, news organizations and sports channels.
The NETarray allows Leitch to include a robust solution into mission critical areas with a high level of fault tolerance because all active components are duplicated and hot-swappable.
