IOX Express
On-prem media storage for demanding environments
Easily scale capacity or bandwidth without having to take your system off-air.
Scalable broadcast storage systems
IOX Express provides broadcast and production facilities with an economical, easy-to-manage, high-availability, shared storage solution for Versio Integrated Playout servers, Versio Ingest ST 2110 servers, and Nexio+ AMP SDI servers. This storage solution enables easy scaling of capacity or bandwidth without having to take the system off-air — a true shared online storage, ideal for fast-turnaround environments such as news and sports.
The file system features multiple controller active/active pairs that contribute their attached storage to a single namespace storage pool. As more controllers and storage are added, performance and capacity increases are achieved without adding shares, mountpoints or volumes. IOX provides the fastest client recovery in the event of catastrophic storage loss and the highest level of service SLA on the market.
Featuring the EditShare® EFS solution and built on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) enterprise-grade hardware, IOX is designed for optimal operation in the most demanding environments. It is offered in bundles of predefined capacity and bandwidth, and delivered with preinstalled software.
Vorteile
Flexible capacity and bandwidth
Allows scaling storage size and throughput as business needs grow, without affecting existing media or interrupting on-air operations.
High availability
Enables continuous broadcast operations, with no performance degradation in the event of multiple and simultaneous failures.
Shorter time to air
True shared storage access eliminates file copying, providing a fast-turnaround editorial environment.
Reduced CapEx
Provides an economical storage solution, yet allows unlimited pay-as-you-go expansion.
Streamlined system
Save time administering as single system regardless of size.
Easy management
Allows unattended drive rebuilds, supports remote monitoring and diagnostics, and includes an informative web user interface for storage statistics and health status.
Exceptional performance
Hardware RAID features storage pools and tiering, to avoid performance degradation.
Tailored designs
Storage to be sized depending on the total requirements of bandwidth and capacity, with multiple possible topologies depending on the level of redundancy required.
Technische Informationen
Eigenschaften
IOX Express features:
High availability in read/write streaming operations with Nexio and Versio media servers under real-time multichannel ingest and playout, file transfer, transcode, edit, and render/conform
On-air scalability:
– Scales from 40 TB to over 2 PB (~9years @ XDCAM50)
– Scales from 3 Gbps to over 48 Gbps (guaranteed bandwidth in degraded or rebuilding modes)
Multiple stack parity topology supported:
– Single = Stack RAID6 internal parity only
– 1+1 = Stack Mirroring (HA Copy2)
– N+1 = Single-Stack Parity (HA XOR)
Fastest client recovery of less than 20ms for uninterrupted service to on-air playback servers or to editing applications
Automatic drive rebuilds require no operator action and result in no performance degradation
High drive density with standard Hard Drive in 12x and 16x storage nodes
Support for Windows, macOS, and Linux client connections via Ethernet
Storage pools with partitioned data
Bandwidth managed by user or workflow operational groups
Redundant metadata controllers
Media files stored in native wrapper (e.g., MXF OP1a, MOV)
Files openly accessible over SMB, CIFS, FTP or EFS client – no gateways required
Inexpensive Ethernet connectivity for all server nodes and clients: 1, 10, 25, 40 or 100 GbE interfaces
Supports collaborative content between multiple NLE systems (Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, FCP, DaVinci, etc.)
Ability to create different media spaces or directories to store main and redundant copies
