Hollywood Storage Supplier Bright Technologies Employing Raidix Management Software

Software-defined storage vendor Raidix Corporation announces partnership with a US IT-solution provider Bright Technology, Inc.

Bright designs and implements file and block storage solutions in media and entertainment, healthcare, oil and gas, enterprise and other data-intensive industries.

Bright Technologies focuses on sequential workloads in M&E. First on the list of dedicated solutions comes the BrightDrive SAN appliance that ensures top performance and minimal latencies when operating with multiple threads. The Bright Technologies product lineup also features the HA Procyon system, mid-level storage system Triton and the Astella SAN-in-a-box solution.

The Bright storage systems build on the Raidix management software that allows for optimal 2K/4K workload distribution, shared access to multi-gigabyte files from several workstations, data loss prevention and sustainable performance even in the case of multiple drives failure.

The Raidix functionality includes hot spare pools, flexible support for SAN (FC, IB, iSCSI, 12Gb SAS) and NAS (NFS, SMB, AFP, FTP) interfaces, compatibility with Apple, AJA, and Blackmagic Design equipment, Xsan, metaSAN, StorNext, FalconStor environments, as well as professional editing applications (Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Avid, Smoke, DaVinci Resolve, SGO Mistika, etc.).

The Bright Technologies solutions based on the Raidix platform are utilized by top film production companies in the US, enabling them to cut down on post-production time frames and hardware costs by up to 70%. Bright also ships storage systems to end customers in Australia, Europe, India and other major video industry hubs.

The recipe for success in versatile segments is performance of Raidix-based storage with growing media workloads and resource-intensive software, as well as full fault-tolerance throughout the production cycle – from ingestion to archiving.
