Archion Synergy UXE
Remarkable performance, protection, and capacity enhancements for your Avid Unity™
Synergy UXE is the newest addition to Archion’s line of RAID storage for Avid’s Unity™ MediaNetwork™ and Media Engine™ platforms. It extends the Synergy’s abilities to a full 800 MB/second and has increased its capacity to an amazing 32TB in a single chassis for Unity Media Engine™ (5.x). Its Unity™ compatibility and abilities are unmatched. Keeping the Synergy standard of legacy compatibility, UXE is fully compatible with 1 Gig, 2 Gig and 4 Gig Unity and with other Archion certified Unity add-on storage systems.
Synergy UXE storage systems deliver 8, 16, or 32 Terabytes (TB) of storage in a compact 3 rack unit design with 16 drive chassis. It has a built-in highly intelligent hardware RAID controller to manage the storage more efficiently and it automatically rebuilds a faulty drive, so the rest of the network is unaffected by the drive failure. With Synergy UXE, multiple chassis’s can be attached to a Unity™ 5.1 delivering the maximum capacity of 128TB’s of usable protected storage. UXE can also help maximize the Unity™ 4.2x with nearly 40TB’s of fully protected storage.
Synergy UXE is designed for Unity Media Engine™ 5.x, but is also certified for use with Unity Media Networks™ (v3.5 – 4.2x). With the award winning and patent pending Vdisk™ technology, Archion can assure compatibility between versions and that operation is transparent to the Unity™ system. All UXE systems are pre-configured, so just plug in to the storage port on your Unity™ and add to or create a data set.
Archion’s hardware RAID controller consistently checks, identifies, and repairs drive errors while ensuring constant data flow. If one of the drives should fail to perform, the hot spare drive kicks in and automatically and seamlessly rebuilds the data. Clients continue to work, log off, and log on as normal without interfering with the Unity operation. The Synergy UXE RAID controller manages the disk drives, RAID sets, and Vdisks™ in a more efficient manner, requiring far fewer drives than Avid storage subsystems to deliver higher capacities and resolutions.
Synergy UXE hardware RAID controller provides better protection with less storage overhead than Unity™ RAID. All UXE’s are configured in RAID level 5 and this provides over 60% more usable storage than mirroring. The UXE can also be configured for dual port operation on a single switch, allowing full load balancing.
