Small Tree to Introduce iSCSI GraniteSTOR abcSAN

Small Tree Communications, designer of networking and shared storage products for professional video and audio editors, will introduce abcSAN, the second member of its GraniteSTOR family of shared storage products, at Macworld 2009.

An iSCSI-based shared storage solution designed specifically for audio/video and graphic artists looking for economical, functional and easy to manage shared and direct attached storage solutions, Small Tree’s abcSAN offers exceptional value and abundant features.

Providing robust (greater than 600MB/sec), consistent performance over Ethernet networks while offering optimal cost-efficiency, abcSAN is a full-featured solution with an intuitive GUI with single pane class management for users who wish to manage RAID sets, volumes, targets and shares from one screen. Deployable as either a NAS or a SAN, abcSAN is available in a 4- or 16-drive (1 TB) configuration.   

“As project budgets continue to shrink during difficult economic times, post-production teams will need to maximize productivity while minimizing technology costs,” states Corky Seeber, president of Small Tree Communications. “GraniteSTOR abcSAN is a cost-effective alternative for Final Cut, Pro Tools and Photoshop users that will significantly improve workflow and enable our customers to meet tight deadlines without breaking the budget.”
