NAB SHOW -- Rorke Data Inc., an end-to-end
storage solutions provider that is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Bell Microproducts (NASDAQ: BELM), today announced at NAB that it
has partnered with FalconStor Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: FALC), the
provider of TOTALLY Open™ data protection solutions, for a
high-performance shared storage solution: HyperDrive
™.
HyperDrive is purpose-built for the demanding storage
requirements of the media and entertainment markets, capable of
meeting the storage needs of both the content creation and
broadcast aspects. HyperDrive leverages the FalconStor® HyperFS™
file system by aggregating Rorke's low-cost Galaxy® Aurora RAID
performance in excess of 6GB/s under a single global namespace --
offering higher performance at a lower cost than competing
offerings. This simplifies the management of large files, providing
high-speed, low-latency frame accurate, shared file-level access to
heterogeneous clients across a global repository that meets the
performance and scalability challenges of the most demanding post
production applications. With an MSRP starting at $1/GB, HyperDrive
offers an affordable, scalable price performance ratio, making it
an ideal solution for any size facility needing to meet the new
storage challenges posed by DPX workflows of film, stereoscopic and
DI post.
"As an experienced provider of high-performance storage systems
in the media and entertainment industry, Rorke Data chose
FalconStor's HyperFS file system because it readily meets the
demanding performance, management and scalability requirements of
this storage-centric market," said Bernie Wu, vice president of
business development for FalconStor Software. "Our partnership with
Rorke Data helps us access to the rapidly growing media and
entertainment market, where both companies now have a large market
opportunity. There are strong synergies between our two companies
in this space that will make both of us successful."
"The Galaxy Aurora is our highest performance product, and with
the integration of FalconStor's HyperFS file system, we can now
aggregate performance and scale storage capacity across multiple
Aurora systems," noted Joe Rorke, vice president of marketing for
Rorke Data. "The seamless combination of these systems has been
named HyperDrive -- it delivers breakthrough low cost of ownership
with industry leading performance. With HyperDrive, Rorke Data is
setting a new standard in price and performance for InfiniBand and
Fibre Channel-based shared storage solutions. It enables wider
adoption of high-performance storage required by DPX workflow, yet
is in line with moderate post house or departmental budgets."
