High-Performance NVMe Shared Storage for Media Workflows

GB Labs’ SPACE NVMe series delivers ultra-high-performance shared storage designed for demanding media production environments. Built for speed, scalability, and efficiency, the platform combines NVMe SSD performance with flexible expansion to support modern workflows such as editing, animation, VFX, and high-resolution content production.

With throughput of up to 30GB/s and storage densities reaching 1.2PB in just 2U of rack space, the SPACE NVMe range provides the performance required for high-resolution workflows while maintaining a compact footprint.

A hybrid architecture enables organisations to combine NVMe performance with HDD capacity, giving teams the speed they need for active production and the scalability required for growing content libraries. 

Key Benefits

High Storage Density

Optimised hardware design allows large storage capacities in a small rack footprint, maximising performance while conserving valuable data-centre space.

Energy Efficient

Solid-state technology helps reduce power consumption and cooling requirements, lowering operational costs over time.

Hybrid Expansion

Storage capacity can be expanded using the SPACE NVMe HDD EX, a dual-path SAS expansion system designed to increase capacity cost-effectively while maintaining performance.

Advanced Software Platform

SPACE NVMe systems run on GB Labs CORE OS, which includes intelligent features such as dynamic bandwidth management, asset tracking, workflow automation, and detailed system analytics.
