NEXIO® Media Gateway Server
File Transfer Interface for NEXIO Storage
NEXIO® Media Gateway is a 1RU appliance for high-performance file transfer to and from the NEXIO® shared storage system. High-speed file transfer bandwidth is delivered by server using standard Ethernet connectivity. This enables large amounts of data to be transferred and removes bottlenecks in high-throughput workflows, such as migration of media from server to server, to near-line storage and to archive systems.
Features
- Performance – High-speed FTP transfer
- Typical multi-stream transfer performance of 2500 Mb/s over 10-Gigabit Ethernet network connection, within a range of 1500-4000 Mb/s
- 700-800 Mb/s using Gigabit Ethernet network connection
- Offers bandwidth throttle management to control data throughput level
- Supports up to 15 simultaneous transfers per NEXIO Media Gateway
- Supports multiple Media Gateways per NEXIO SAN — limited only by NEXIO storage bandwidth
- High Availability
- Uses redundant Fibre Channel connectivity
- Standard redundant power supplies
- Data Protection
- Media Gateways run RAIDsoft to support RAID-601 storage protection for NEXIO Farad storage
- Media Gateways run RAIDsoft to support RAID-3, ECC Parity, and Intrinsic Mirroring storage protection for NEXIO NXS3100 Series storage
- For NEXIO NXS3100 Series storage, Media Gateways act as software RAID controllers and work in concert to rebuild drives
Product Details
The NEXIO Media Gateway Server attaches to NEXIO shared storage via redundant 8 Gbps Fibre Channel connections. File transfers take place over 10-Gigabit or Gigabit Ethernet connections using the standard FTP protocol. NEXIO supports file exchange of many different media essence and wrapper formats, so the Media Gateway can provide an interface not only to other NEXIO content libraries, but also libraries of files created by other encoders, servers and editing systems. Multiple Media Gateway servers are supported, enabling a shared storage system to support many thousands of gigabits of file transfer across multiple devices. Each media gateway can support up to 15 simultaneous transfers, allowing flexible usage of the available bandwidth.
Reliability is a high priority in any NEXIO system. NEXIO Media Gateway redundancy features include hot-swappable power supplies and two-port Fibre Channel connectivity to the NEXIO SAN. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports support redundant Ethernet for the NEXIO network, and multiple 10-Gigabit or Gigabit Ethernet data ports provide file transfer paths in and out of the NEXIO server system.
The Media Gateway server includes NEXIO LLM software and the Emmy® award-winning RAIDsoft software RAID controller. As with all NEXIO devices running RAIDsoft, the Media Gateway provides a real-time system for data I/O and also acts as a software RAID controller, contributing to the data protection operations for NEXIO Farad and NEXIO NXS3100 Series storage systems.
