G-SPEED
Finally, Fast and Affordable Fibre Channel RAID Storage is a Reality!
Once again G-Tech has shaken up the storage industry with the
world’s most cost-effective, 4Gbit Fibre Channel/Ultra320 SCSI RAID
storage solutions for high-end professional Content Creation
applications. When configured in RAID 6 mode, G-SPEED protects
your valuable content even if two drives fail - the ultimate in peace
of mind!
Multiple RAID Levels & JBOD
G-SPEED can easily be configured as a RAID 0, 1, 3, 5 or RAID 6. This
flexibility enables the system to be tuned to the required level of
performance and fault-tolerance necessary to support your application.
G-SPEED can also be configured in JBOD (Just-a-Bunch-of Disks) mode
for use with digital audio workstations.
Screaming Performance!!
G-SPEED offers industry leading performance with full support for
multi-stream SD and uncompressed HD work flows - up to 10-bit,
1080/60i on a single array. Striping two G-SPEED units together
supports 2K editing systems.
Latest Generation 4Gbit Fibre Channel or Ultra320 SCSI Interface
The Fibre Channel version of G-SPEED features 4GBit connectivity
and utilizes Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) LC optical transceivers.
The system connects to any Mac or PC workstation using thin optica
l cabling and is backwards compatible with existing 1& 2GBit Fibre
Channel infrastructures.
Browser-Based RAID Configuration and Management
G-SPEED has a built-in Web GUI that is accessed via the Ethernet
port located on the back of the unit. This simple GUI is used to
configure the RAID level and monitor the status of the system. The
GUI monitors all aspects of the system including power supply voltage,
Fan RPM and the temperature of the RAID controller & hard drives. In
the event of a problem, G-SPEED will send an email message to up to
four recipients.
