IBC: Elements to Launch AFA Versions of 2U ONE and NAS

Elements (Syslink GmbH) is introducing AFA versions of its ONE and NAS all-in-one media storage and server storage systems at IBC 2018.

ONE storage system

Both solutions are available as 2U units with all NVMe drives, providing up to 80TB of raw storage capacity.

Together with the company’s support of up to 100GbE and RDMA, the overall performance of the firm’s human-centered appliances achieves unparalleled levels.

These versions will be demonstrated along with the entire range of company’s products at the RAI in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, throughout the show.

“We are excited to expand our product portfolio with this new line of NVMe-based storage appliances, dedicated to customers who value speed over space.” says André Kamps, CEO, Elements. “The all-NVMe solutions of Elements ONE and Elements NAS deliver performance beyond belief, with incredible high-bandwidths, zero latencies and more than double the throughput – a huge benefit for all media workflows.“

Rendering tasks are also accomplished at a accelerated pace due to the high-level of IO/s rates that these versions offer. Workstations handling raw workflows in UHD, 4K and up will experience incredible bandwidth with increased write access.

The company will also be showcasing its set of workflow enhancement tools that are integrated into every firm’s appliance, including the Media Library that incorporates many one-of-a-kind features, including an embedded media player. The media player can play backup to four videos simultaneously – selectively synchronous and asynchronous, allowing comparison of four editing versions concurrently. The Media Library also contains a Rough-Cut Editor comparable to other professional editing tools that furnish a spectrum of functionalities. In addition, the Media Library editor enhances and simplifies approval and communication processes during projects by identifying areas of interest via frame-accurate comments and drawings on the source material.
