Facilis Offers Trade-in Program With 20% Discount
To Avid Unity, LANshare and Apple Xsan owners
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on August 25, 2011 at 2:55 pmFacilis Technology, Inc. is offering a trade-in program for Avid Unity MediaNetwork, LANshare and Apple
Xsan owners looking to retire their aging shared storage systems.
From today
through the end of 2011, customers who trade in Unity or Xsan systems will
receive a 20 percent discount toward the purchase of a new Facilis TerraBlock
24D/24EX shared storage system.
Because TerraBlock supports 4 & 8Gb Fibre and 1 &
10Gb Ethernet, facilities can repurpose much of their current FC
and Ethernet infrastructure, and add:
- Dynamic
switchable sharing for volume and file-level control - Multi-platform
shared file system capability - Pro
Tools file-level support - Expandability with no per-seat fees of any kind
- Native
cross-platform Avid project and media sharing - High
performance – even at 100% full
"We’ve heard from a number of post facilities that
their Unity and Xsan systems are maxed out, but cost and complexity makes
upgrading difficult," said Francis Albert, founder and president of
Facilis. "This trade-in program can help facilities increase their
performance, achieve greater capacity and expandability with cross-platform
support and cutting edge features. It’s a flexible path to the future."
TerraBlock by Facilis is a high-capacity, shared storage system
for post-production and content creation. It fosters collaboration, supporting FC and Ethernet, volume and file-level control, and multiple
platforms. TerraBlock provides a lower TCO than that of traditional SAN infrastructure.
Trade-in program runs through December 31, 2011.
