John Z says:  "Shared storage in a multi-user video post production environment is becoming critical since we have moved away from tape-based acquisition and mastering. What used to be a 'nice to have', is now really the first step for a professional facility. In addition to allowing the sharing of resources and projects, it enables facility-wide backup, archival, and asset management to be implemented. You need this to stay competitive.

We are really excited to be able to bring this solution to market at such an attainable price.  We have used only top-grade components throughout this.  It will serve as the cornerstone of your facility."
