ExtremeStor DI 36 Drive Server

“The ExtremeStor-DI 36 Drive Server is the ideal solution for CPU intensive and disk intenstive content. With Read and Writes speeds up to 3600MB/Sec, applications requiring high frames rates or realtime 4K is at your fingertips”

The demand for Digital Intermediate solutions has taken a turn to the extreme in the digital film and video marketplace. Digital Intermediate skyrocketed and quickly transitioned as the new industry standard for most applications. Globalstor has worked hard to develop it’s next generation line of Digital Intermediate capture and playback servers. We listened to what our customers had to say and integrated many of their ideas into our latest line of workstations and servers. By doing so, Globalstor once again achieved success with the next generation of its flagship ExtremeStor workstations and servers. They are faster than ever before and offer greater scalability than any other system available today.Now post-production facilities, independent editors, colorists and cinematographers can reap the rewards of the DI’s best of breed architecture.

The ExtremeStor-DI 36 drive server is designed for real-time capture and playback of un-compressed 2K, Stereoscopic 2K, as well as 4K content and is certified to work with the industry’s leading providers of feature rich, high performance graphics, capture, and playback cards as well as the best open platform color grading, editing and visual effects technologies the industry has to offer. Featuring an integrated 36 drive disk array with capacities up to 144TB and read/write speeds up to 3600MB/Sec, the ExtremeStor-DI 36 drive server is an ideal platform for workflows that require a high performance, high capacity server with uncompromised disk performance. By utilizing the benefits of SATA III disk drives, users can expect their cost per gigabyte to be well within their budget, making the next generation of ExtremeStor series workstations and servers the most attractive ROI in your digital intermediate workflow.
