Node™

NODE™ is a complete SAN network for content creation. It fuses full dedicated high speed hardware RAID storage with complete SAN management software for volume access. Node comes in two chassis sizes, NODE 800 and NODE 2400. Each is a ready to go SAN system; mount the chassis, connect your clients, and install the software. When you need more storage, or more bandwidth for clients or streams just add another chassis to your system. There are no servers or metadata to get in the way of bandwidth just high speed; RAID protected storage that is easily shared.
