Overview
mRAID - THE NEXT-GENERATION MEDIA-ENHANCED RAID PLATFORM
mRAID represents many years of Active Storage development combined with the latest storage processing intelligence, and developed from the input of our extensive user base which includes some the largest media production companies in the world.
mRAID is unlike any storage you have used in a creative workflow. It's fast, smart, scalable and easy. Best of all, it's built on industry standards utilizing the same rock-solid Linux foundation of the Active Storage ActiveRAID. And with thousands of ActiveRAIDs in the field powering the top names in post production and broadcast, you can rely on mRAID to deliver the same level of highly available operation and on-going reliability.
While mRAID draws heavily on the successful design of the ActiveRAID, it's also different; mRAID is a much-evolved storage system that is truly a new platform for expansion.
What makes mRAID so unique is that its design is very straightforward yet immensely powerful. The enclosure has a strong family resemblance to ActiveRAID, yet is ground-up designed and specially-engineered to handle the next generation of Intel-based storage processors. The mRAID, unlike other systems, employs many features that improve reliability, performance, ease of deployment and maintenance.
SUPERIOR CROSSFLOW COOLING DESIGN
Our crossflow cooling design ensures that every component in the system receives equal airflow and cooling to eliminate hot spots and component failure. This includes cooling hard drives, RAID controllers, backup batteries and IO systems.
Our crossflow design is also highly efficient, not only using less power under normal conditions, but also providing ample cooling headroom when used in less than ideal conditions.
Beyond the enclosure design, mRAID is an all new platform, designed to provide new capabilities beyond average storage systems while offering vast improvements in scalability of both performance and capacity.
ADVANCED SYSTEM DESIGN
The advanced system design of the mRAID is based on what we have learned over many years of building award-winning storage systems and servers, and our latest ActiveSAN appliance design. It is designed to deliver the highest possible throughput and the lowest latency. The overall design is a total integration of hardware and software, leveraging the strengths on each in order to produce a cost-effective highly reliable platform.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSING ENGINE
mRAID's processing power is immense. It can move huge amounts of content from the SAN to disk and back, leaving additional headroom for other functions such as optimizations, adaptive caching routines and background data scrubs, as well as error checking. But the one area we did not want mRAIDs processor to be loaded down with was UPS control and environmental process handling, so we didn't.
Enter the Environmental processor or ENV.
The ENV is new with mRAID although the concept is well proven. This "control center" for the system environment is a specialized processor that controls systems indicators, out-of-band communications with expansion systems, and UPS control.
