Archion Launches "Synergy Plus" And Alliance Products
Burbank, CA - Archion, the entertainment industry's largest storage solution to Avid storage systems, has announced three significant new sales of storage capacity via its "Synergy Plus" and Alliance products. The announcement was made by Mark Bianchi, CEO, Archion.
LA Digital Post, a post production company, has purchased Synergy Plus to satisfy their increasing storage requirements. Captive Media, Inc., a media placement services company, and Go West Events and Multimedia, producers of large scale events, have each replaced their existing storage with Archion's Alliance and Synergy Plus.
Mr. Bianchi said, "Our most recent sales certainly demonstrate the versatility of our technology. We are extremely pleased with the acceptance of Synergy Plus nationwide and the momentum we are experiencing with new markets in media placement and live events. I attribute our success to our proven robust technology and our core philosophy of engineering cost-effective systems that interplay with our clients' existing and future technology."
Synergy Plus was specially designed to expand and enhance the existing Avid Unity storage system, transforming it from a mirroring software platform to a hardware RAID-based system. The addition of Synergy Plus nearly doubles a client's usable storage. Synergy Plus claims that it continues to gain widespread acceptance as the expansion storage of choice for Unity systems since its debut at NAB 2006.
According to James Tucci, Archion's CTO, Synergy Plus, the only hardware RAID product compatible with Avid's Unity system, including the latest version Medianetwork 4.1, is a full featured SATA II to FC Raid storage unit designed for networking digital video systems. The product comes in units from 4 TB and up, with 2 ports of 2GB FC, and operates transparently with the Unity hardware and software.
Synergy Plus is said to remove the inherent risk for media loss in the event of a drive failure without mirroring. The Synergy Plus product offers Unity users hardware RAID protection within a Unity environment, adding significant data storage expansion, without doubling the storage requirements and without incurring any additional software expenses.
