Overview
In recent years, customer demand for storage capacity to support long-term media assets has grown significantly. With increase in image resolution and development of 4K and other high-resolution media assets driving data growth, Media companies require a highly efficient and cost effective scalable platform to keep up with data growth.
The key requirements to support environments that represent the majority of media content include modular and flexible scalability, high data resiliency, immediate access and availability, and capacity optimization to reduce footprint and overall costs.

HYDRAstor HS6-4000A
HYDRAstor HS6-4000A addresses all these requirements with its modular scale-out architecture to support PB-scale archives, advanced data resiliency and protection against up to six concurrent disk or entire node failures, high availability with automatic failover and Global Namespace (GNS) across nodes, and data deduplication and compression for space reduction and lower costs.
