Atto Technology and Nyriad Together

Atto Technology, Inc. and Nyriad, Inc., announce a joint solution that removes bottlenecks in data flow that previously hindered media editing processes.

The solution, which features Atto FastFrame 3 SmartNICs, ThunderLink Thunderbolt adapters and the new Nyriad UltraIO storage system, increases fault tolerance and delivers improved data protection.

The UltraIO storage system’s combined processor architecture leverages the speed and power of both GPUs and CPUs in a block storage platform to deliver a combination of performance, resilience, and efficiency.

FastFrame 3 SmartNICs and ThunderLink Thunderbolt adapters are made to support media using technology that reduces latency to 1μs while smoothing data streams for consistency and reliability.

The combination of the partners’ products quadruple write throughput, enabling the scrubbing and editing of raw 8K and above video footage inline without the need to transcode, create proxies or copy files across the network to local editing stations. This can save days of time from the setup of new projects.

“This is an amazing, cutting-edge storage and data delivery solution that everyone doing post-production work has been waiting for,” said Tim Klein, president and CEO, Atto. “Nyriad’s GPU-based platform definitely unleashes the true power of our Ethernet hardware.“

 Derek Dicker, CEO, Nyriad, added: “We are thrilled to be working with Atto on solutions that enable dramatically-improved production efficiency. Atto’s SmartNiCs and adapters are tailor-made for media applications, providing the perfect complement to UltraIO storage system, delivering our customers incredible performance with HDD economics.“

The UltraIO storage system’s fault tolerance, coupled with Atto’s dual port interfaces, enable a team to keep working even in less-than-optimal situations. UltraIO system can withstand up to 20 drives failing simultaneously while maintaining 95% of its maximum throughput¹. Dual-port Atto interfaces can survive the loss of entire switch fabrics without any outages.
