Apace eStor line is the lowest cost/ highest performance networked storage class of systems tailored for fast video archive and retrieval. eStor includes the functionality of server, NAS and RAID in a single chassis with great economics. With ever increasing demand for HD and SD video applications, eStor fast storage access is becoming a must for post production and rendering applications. Also, eStor line is applicable to video on demand, broadcast, digital imaging, graphic and animation applications. eStor disk based networked storage offers RAID reliability and speed over familiar Ethernet networks. eStor line can be a primary file based storage system as well as be used for archival and disk based backup. eStor attractive price points do offer Disk = Tape price parity while providing storage capacity of up to 10TB in a single chassis, which makes eStor an alternative to or great addition to tape libraries. e1000 series offers highly competitive 2-6TB of disk based storage, while e1500 targets large storage capacities of 10TB for installation with even increasing storage needs. Customer with need for scalability can deploy multiple eStor systems as storage building blocks at each system level leveraging from Gigabit Ethernet for multi-system interconnectivity and scalability.
