NAB: Storbyte Intros Eco-Friendly Storage Systems for Media and Entertainment

Storbyte will introduce its Eco-Friendly storage systems for media, entertainment, and broadcast users at the upcoming NAB Show, April 8-11 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, NV.

EcoFlash SBS-448

The company’s SBJ-496 is a design in high-capacity disk systems for long-term management of digital media content with enterprise availability and data services. For large archive libraries, it requires little to no electricity to maintain data, and its environmentally friendly green design allows unrestricted air flow, generates minimal heat, and saves on cooling expenses.

The firm’s EcoFlash SBS-448 for digital content creation and streaming is a solid-state storage array that can deliver over 20GB/s – about 16 times the performance of comparably equipped storage hardware. It consumes less than half the electrical power and produces half the heat of competitors, and its patented design extends its lifespan, resulting in a total operating cost per terabyte that is 300-500% lower.

“There are a number of challenges in broadcast and media storage and the bottom line is the technology industry has failed these customers time and again with insufficient capacities, insufficient speed, insufficient longevity, and insufficient economics,” said Diamond Lauffin, chief evangelist and design architect, Storbyte. “What’s not unique to media/entertainment companies? An overall focus on improving energy efficiency and reducing power costs, which we’ve done through Eco-Friendly design principles.“

The SBJ-496 and EcoFlash SBS-448 are presented with the firm’s design partner EchoStreams solutions at NAB. It is a Los Angeles, CA-based OEM/ODM solutions provider focused on server and storage array technologies that deliver performance and reliability.

“Because of the scale of SBJ-496, and the speed and capacity of SBS-448, we believe these are the first new storage systems in ten or more years that are right for specialty media workloads,” said Andy Lee, product manager, EchoStreams. “Thanks to our relationship with Storbyte we’re able to showcase these products to attendees for the first time and look forward to explaining how they offer the right combination of features for their needs.“
