The system has now been in operation throughout the 2014/2015 whole season of races. It has operated without a glitch, delivering live and near-live programming to audiences cross the globe.
GB Labs Midi SPACE provides 32TB high-speed shared storage, at a fraction of the cost of competing platforms. It is at the heart of the rack and integrates with a variety of third party solutions, including Mac Mini Servers running Tools on Air and Mac Pro editting workstations.
Midi SPACE 3RU is a shared storage system optimised for media environments.
Designed to be easily scaled and expanded, its NAS architecture allows users to attach to the storage using standard Ethernet connectivity and supports multiple OS work-groups. It has sustained speed to support multiple online editors, graphics designers, sound engineers and playout operators.
