DigitalGlue 4U 24-Bay //DEUS EX Hybrid NVMe SSD and HDD Media Storage Solution

DigitalGlue has announced that its //DEUS EX – the hybrid NVMe SSD and HDD media storage solution in its creative.space platform, is available with NF1 (New Form Factor 1) for customers that require SSD architecture.

The integration of NF1 provides benefits including faster speed and increased capacity in a compact footprint offered at an appealing price point.

creative.space offers On-Premise Managed Storage (OPMS), a concept in storage solutions. Designed by the company for creatives, it includes 24/7 monitoring, technical support and next-day repairs for an affordable monthly rate.

“//DEUS EX was an amazing solution since its launch in 2018, offering the performance needed to allow the entire post-production team to work off of the same system and work in parallel,” says Tim Anderson, CEO and CTO, DigitalGlue. “Now with NF1 drives we can offer faster speed, higher capacity and a less expensive price point than any other SSD technology.“

The addition of NF1 allows up to 64TB of SSD to be integrated into //Deus Ex, a jump from the previous 8TB capacity. The unit can deliver a total of 8,000MB/s aggregate to 5 workstations.

“If a customer requires SSD, we’ll use the NF1 first before adding U.2,” explained Anderson. “They can, however, still get an all HDD //DEUS EX, which is perfect for any workflow that doesn’t use image sequences.“

Designed for end-to-end post-production workflows, the //DEUS EX hybrid system balances solid state and spinning disk technology with an optimized internal architecture to provide playback in the most demanding environments. Built for high-resolution workflows, it is capable of tackling the most demanding real-world formats like 4K DCI OpenEXR. It eliminates the need for separate online and nearline systems, allowing the entire team to work on the same system simultaneously.

Featuring dual Intel Gold processors, plenty of RAM, 4 NVMe SSDs, and up to 20 helium-filled HDDs (24 without SSDs), //DEUS EX enables artists to implement dynamic collaborative workflows like those available in DaVinci Resolve and Adobe Creative Cloud to allow artists to get more done in less time.

creative.space optimizes hardware and software to simplify the technical aspects of producing, storing, and distributing video-centric content, further enabling the creative process.The company, provider equipment, integration, and software development provider, also designs and implements solutions for complete content creation, post-production, and distribution.

//DEUS EX is available for a starting monthly rate of $1,995 for 200TB+4.8TB SSD.
