Archion Debuts 'Synergy HD'

Archion has introduced Synergy HD, a new storage system targeting Avid NLE systems.

Synergy HD is a full-featured SATA II-to-Fibre Channel RAID storage unit designed for networking digital video systems in an Avid Unity environment. It is preconfigured in units from 4 to 8 TB with two ports of 2 GB Fibre Channel and is certified with Unity 3.x through 4.2.x, as well as for Avid Media Manager, Interplay, Adrenaline HD, Express Pro HD, Symphony Nitris, Meridian, Symphony and Nitris DS.

"Synergy HD is certified with all versions of Unity from 3.x through 4.2.x without requiring costly software and hardware replacements," said Reuben Lima, chief operating officer of Archion. "Its hardware RAID protection completely eliminates the need for wasteful mirroring of storage for protection. Unlike Synergy HD, MediaArray requires customers to replace fully operational hardware and software infrastructure. Synergy HD's unprecedented capability will become the storage of choice."
