Developer Kit Enables Customized
Functionality for Content Creators
Western Digital Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC), a global data storage
technology and solutions leader, today announced the availability
of a new software development kit (SDK) for its G-Technology®
12-bay G-RACK™ 12 high-performance NAS solution for content
creation professionals managing libraries of video and audio.
Utilizing the SDK, G-RACK 12 third-party partners now have the
capability to develop customized applications for the G-NAS
operating system (OS) that can run natively on the G-RACK 12 and
its dual 6-core Xeon® processors, offloading tasks from local
machines and streamlining workflow.
A handful of key strategic G-Technology partners have already
developed various workflow solutions running directly on the G-NAS
OS-powered G-RACK 12 high-performance NAS solution, including
Archiware, Avalache.io, and axle Video. The below solutions will be
showcased in the G-Technology booth (Hall 7, Stand 7.J31) at IBC,
September 14-19, in Amsterdam:
- Archiware, an expert in data management
software, have integrated its P5 Software Suite with the G-RACK 12
high-performance NAS to create a solution that will facilitate
disaster recovery, data migration, and archival options for Media
and Entertainment workflows.
- Avalache.io, a leading innovator of
cloud-based media production technology, has enabled the G-RACK 12
to be one of the first storage solutions to fully implement the new
SMPTE standard for asset identification for the Cinema Content
Creation Cloud Identification System or C4 ID.
- axle Video, a pioneer of affordable
“radically simple” media management, is delivering a version of its
axle 2017 flagship media management software that runs directly on
the G-RACK 12, eliminating the need for an extra server appliance
and simplifying facility management, space, and logistics, while
providing high performance for search, browse, annotation, and
sharing tasks constantly performed by production teams of any
size.
The G-RACK 12 high-performance NAS solution streamlines
demanding media and entertainment video workflows, including 4K and
above resolution, with a scalable 12-bay server offering capacities
up to 144TB – and now 720TB raw capacity with the four G-RACK 12
Expansion units and the newly available 12TB HGST Ultrastar®
enterprise-class hard drives. Its reliability, high-performance,
and centralized storage capabilities are perfect for
small-to-medium size post-production houses, TV/broadcast studios,
ad agencies, and in-house creative departments using Adobe
Premiere® Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro® X, Avid Media Composer® or
other creative applications. The G-RACK 12 high-performance NAS
solution is the ideal storage solution for collaboration, utilizing
four 10-gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 connections for high-speed data
transfers, saving both time and money.
