ECHO 36
Affordable, energy efficient, high speed nearline storage
If your content is outgrowing your archive or if you're concerned about securely replicating your primary data, ECHO 36 is the solution. It's massive, safe, fast and flexible.
Suitable for broadcasters, large post houses and dedicated media archives that have 24/7 data requirements.
How Echo 36 Can Help You
Massive tier 2 storage is becoming a vital resource for media organisations that see their primary archive as the heart of their facility. The nearline is treated as the exchange hub where files are imported, backed up, shared, transferred to specialist editing, grading and playout servers, and transcoded for distribution.
Benefiting from economies of scale, ECHO 36 is capable of storing vast amounts of data and is massively scalable. Suitable for broadcasters, large post houses and dedicated media archives that have 24/7 data requirements.
Performance
ECHO 36 uses a 32 disk RAID 6 set per chassis and provides two ‘Hot Spare’ drives for automatic rebuild during any disk failure within the RAID set. The RAID controller also uses a battery backup unit (BBU) to preserve data within the write cache.
The OS drives use hardware mirroring (RAID 1) from a separate RAID controller for additional protection.
Expansion
ECHO products offer large unit sizes throughout the range, none more so than with the ECHO 36 platform with single units offering up to 448TB and total storage expansion available up to 10.7PB (Petabytes).
ECHO 36 EX SAS expansion units can be connected to the ECHO 36 platform to grow the storage dramatically. Unit sizes ranging from 64TB to 448TB can be added quickly and without interruption.
Different capacity units can be mixed and a single volume can grow as your needs require. Data stays in place while dramatic re-sizing can be achieved instantly, eliminating costly down time.
CloakDR
ECHO 36 can therefore suffer complete failure or even removal without serious issue as the secondary system will go live within 10 seconds and any incoming new data will be held and then safely written after failover has occurred.
