NEXIO Farad™

High performance with flexible capacity and bandwidth. Allows scaling of storage independently of bandwidth, managing storage costs as requirements grow, without affecting existing media.

• Scale NEXIO Farad capacity to more than 512 TB of usable storage and/or 32,000 Mb/s easily with minimal workflow disruption.
• Non-destructive background restriping allows new storage to be added with no performance degradation and keeps current content intact without performing additional backups.

High availability. Enables continuous broadcast operations, with no performance degradation in the event of multiple and simultaneous failures.

• NEXIO Farad uses RAID-601, protecting against drive, controller, and storage chassis failures and maintaining system throughput. RAID-601 combines RAID 6, 0 and 1 technology.
• NEXIO RAIDsoft striping increases bandwidth and patented Intrinsic Mirroring ensures content is always available.

Facilitates collaboration. Provides true, shared, online broadcast storage and eliminates the need for separate storage islands, simplifying workflows.

• All media is stored in one place for ingest, production and playout, so there are no time- and money-wasting file transfer tasks to, from or between servers.
• All users have access all the time, without any restrictions, to get their job done.
• NEXIO Farad supports high-speed archive and restore interaction with network attached, clustered or tape storage.

Easy to manage. Allows unattended drive rebuilds, supports remote monitoring and diagnostics, and includes an informative, web-based graphical user interface (GUI)

• “Spare Drive Provisioning” technology provides a pool of standby media drives that are used for unattended and automatic drive rebuild following a drive failure.
• Replacing a failed drive can be scheduled at a convenient time, without any performance degradation.
