12-Bay G-RACK 12 Enables Teams of Creative
Professionals to Streamline Media and Entertainment Workflows with
Reliability, Scalability, and Studio-Friendly Technology
IBC2016 (Hall 7, Stand H39) – G-Technology®, a trusted
premium storage brand by Western Digital (NASDAQ: WDC), today
announced the European availability of the G-Technology® G-RACK™ 12
– the brand’s first NAS-based device that enhances its
award-winning product portfolio for content creation professionals
worldwide. The G-RACK 12 and other G-Technology storage solutions
will be on display at IBC2016, September 9-13, in Amsterdam, Hall
7, Stand H39.
The G-RACK 12 NAS solution streamlines demanding media and
entertainment video workflows, including 4K and above resolution,
with a scalable 12-bay server offering capacities up to 120TB1 –
and now 600TB2 with the four G-RACK 12 Expansion units. 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. G-RACK 12 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.
The G-RACK 12 solution made its U.S. debut at this year’s NAB
show in Las Vegas and is now making its European presence at
IBC2016. A significant value of the G-RACK 12 solution is the
G-Technology-developed NAS OS that garnered NAB award-winning
praise for the intuitive, simple-to-use management interface. With
a commitment to continual improvement, a number of updates to this
NAS OS has been released for new and existing customers. These
updates include the ability to now support a total of four G-RACK
Expansion units that will provide up to 500TB of usable storage
capacity. This latest OS version will also showcase a new platform
for third-party partner applications embedded onto the G-RACK 12 to
provide additional functionality. Improved user support and
enhanced RAID management capabilities are also included in the
latest version of the G-RACK NAS OS.
“The G-RACK 12's wickedly fast read/write speeds make it an
unparalleled NAS option for professional environments, and its
intuitive OS server interface allows us to get our entire
department working off the G-RACK the same morning we unboxed it,
all without hiring a specialist,” said Ted Pacult, post-production
supervisor for Documentary Now.
"RED Studios Hollywood is constantly looking for the latest
storage innovations, such as the G-RACK 12,” said Jarred Land,
president of RED Digital Cinema. “The 10-gigabit network speeds and
ability to work within our Adobe, Final Cut Pro, and Avid
ecosystems makes our G-RACK 12 an extremely valuable asset.”
“From our flexible Evolution Series™ and high-capacity,
high-performance portable G-SPEED® Shuttle XL to our new 12-bay
G-RACK 12 NAS solution, the G-Technology brand offers one of the
broadest storage portfolios for virtually any content creation
workflow,” said Mike Williams, vice president of G-Technology, a
Western Digital brand. “Our goal is to continue to optimize
efficiencies in pre- and post-production workflows, so whether
you’re working on a TV commercial, a corporate video, or major
motion picture, we can help you through the most demanding
production environments, while delivering capacity, reliability,
performance, and style.”
G-RACK 12 incorporates a G-Technology-developed NAS operating
system with the BTRfs file system, the SCST high-performance iSCSI
engine, and an easy-to-use graphical interface that removes the
complexity of typical NAS administrative systems. The 12-bay,
expandable units incorporate enterprise-class hard drives and are
available in 48TB, 72TB, 96TB, and 120TB storage capacities.
G-RACK 12 pricing varies depending on capacity and
