A3600fdm VTrak A-Class Series
The all-in-one storage appliance for rich media
Ideal for multi-user collaboration to ingest, edit, stream and
process rich media. This is a true “solution in a box” RAID storage
subsystem, with an integrated metadata appliance and embedded file
system for big data, along with a NAS Gateway.

Integration with AD and LDAP for ACL
Client node ACL
Multipath support on clients
Provides intelligent fault detection and notification
tool on clients
Scale out high capacity and high
performance
The VTrak A3800 shared SAN appliance is
ideal for multi-user collaboration, especially when it comes
to rich media. 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.
NAS Gateway for massive client access
The 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.
Simple and fast: a great combination
VTrak 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.
Scalable, reliable and cost-efficient
With 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.
Optimized for video-centric
environments
The 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 & Entertainment, HPC applications, and other
video-centric environments.
Video storage needs are massive.
VTrak is the solution!
Store massive amounts of data required
by media-centric and HPC environments. Scale across multiple
RAID storage subsystems, thus increasing capacity without
sacrificing performance.
Supports 1024 RAID Logical Drives
to make up the volume(s).
JBODs can be added to increase the
storage space.
RAID heads can be added as Storage
Nodes to dynamically increase the storage space as well
as increase the number of FC counts, thereby scaling
performance.
All this can be done online,
without interrupting the clients.
Supersized file system for big data
VTrak A-Class virtualizes storage to
create a single name space, shared storage volume.
Each VTrakFS™ consists of a
Metadata LUN (MDL) and data LUNs (DL)
MDL contains information about file
location, size, access times, etc.
The VTrak A Class head unit manages
directing each client the correct file info over 1Gb
Ethernet, but each client has full speed access to
actual data via 8Gb Fibre Channel
