The VTrakFS™ file system is integrated with metadata controllers and VTrak primary storage in a single box, which enables higher performance and workload productivity, while offering easier workflow management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNAS Gateway for massive client access\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe NAS Gateway enables hundreds of clients in the LAN network to access the highly scalable Fibre Channel SAN appliance via 10Gb Ethernet. While the NAS Gateway contains a file sharing protocol and file system management, the key benefit is the VTrak A3800 SAN can scale to petabytes while still appearing as a single NAS folder interface! This eliminates the need to reconfigure clients, unlike traditional NAS environments where costly, additional storage is required.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimple and fast: a great combination\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVTrak A-Class is optimized for high performance, high bandwidth, rich media applications requiring large block sequential IOPs. And because it's an \"all-in-one\" metadata appliance, RAID storage subsystem, and file system (VTrakFS™), it's much less complicated that competing solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScalable, reliable and cost-efficient\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith A-Class you can \"pay as you grow\" from 32TB to over 7PB for long-term storage investment protection. Additionally, VTrak x30 is the only Apple-qualified enterprise SAN subsystem, with high-availability dual controllers, hot-swappable modular disk array, and a 3 year warranty. The A-Class can save 30-40% on rack space, and help lower energy costs compared to non-integrated multi-vendor solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOptimized for video-centric environments\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Promise VTrakFS™ file system is optimized for leveraging a 8Gb FC interface for large file data ingesting, streaming, or processing between a SAN and its clients - unlike traditional NAS file systems. Data is directly transferred between the SAN appliance and clients over the SAN FC network. This means higher bandwidth performance and lower latency data transfers, perfect for Media \u0026amp; Entertainment, HPC applications, and other video-centric environments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVideo storage needs are massive.
