OpenDrives systems are designed with performance in mind to handle the large files typical of the media and entertainment industry. RAM-based interception of metadata and file seek requests dramatically reduces file seek times, while the modular configuration of the systems allow for 1Gb, 10Gb, or 40Gb Ethernet to align to your current network topology and drive future bandwidth requirements. The Spectre model adds an additional layer of high-speed SSD caching, making read operations blisteringly fast and freeing up the spinning disks to focus on our intelligent write operations. First Class Data Protection Never lose a file! OpenDrives products use a 256-bit checksum to constantly verify the integrity of your data. Whether writing or reading, if a bad data block is detected, the system automatically heals itself by calculating and correcting the bad data on the fly. Data corruption and bit rot are a thing of the past. Efficient Data Storage Use your drives more efficiently. Instead of the fixed block size of traditional file systems, OpenDrives uses variable block sizes to store your data. No more wasted space from mismatched block alignment! Optional data compression reduces required disk space and increases disk throughput as much as 50%. Our inline data-type detection automatically enacts compression for files that can benefit from compression. Ideal for uncompressed image data such as DPX and OpenEXR or compositing layers with transparency and alpha channels. Long Term Data Storage OpenDrives systems are designed to go the distance. We over-engineer our hardware to ensure long-term performance and reliability. The 128-bit file system also provides virtually unlimited scalability. Zero Downtime Expansion OpenDrives system capacity can easily be expanded with our corresponding ‘X’ devices. For example, expand a Spectre system with a SpectreX. A live production system can be expanded online without interruption or downtime. Data Snapshots Create a point-in-time snapshot before making any critical changes and know that you can roll- back and recover should anything go wrong. Snapshots only track changes between the time of the snapshot and current state of the file system, so it’s like having a second copy of your data without needing all the space! Replication & Mirroring Synchronous and asynchronous block level replication and mirroring can be configured when needing to ensure high availability or disaster recovery of a data set. Flexible Architecture With support for a variety of connectivity, capacity, and performance options, as well as a modular component upgrade paths, OpenDrives storage can be configured to integrate into any of your challenging workflows and grow as your company grows. v133A13D.001
