Overview
Secure and reliable nearline storage
Most nearline archive products on the market deliver large capacities, many deliver excellent security and a few provide the speed for multi-stream read / write operations. A handful give you fast and affordable expansion, a minority allow virtually instant scaling over Ethernet networks.
Data security is essential, as is an instantly-available media archive. Our scalable ECHO can fulfil both roles in a state-of-the-art nearline solution. ECHO can be housed locally or remotely, it can provide disaster recovery by replicating your entire Tier 1 media assets. It also has the speed and capacity to hold your growing archive, giving users instant access to every file over standard Ethernet networks.

ECHO EX (16 BAY)
Rack based nearline expansion
Storage size can be increased dynamically, meaning that data can stay in place as the capacity changes and downtime is not required. Additional storage is SAS connected and allows the scaling of a single volume or multiples as required, expansion is easy to carry out and happens instantly using pre-formatted ECHO EX units.
ECHO EX offers large storage sizes up to 224TB per unit, allowing total expansion of the ECHO to grow up to 4PB.
