HyperDrive – File Level SAN

Aurora RAID & HyperDrive

HyperDrive™ is a high performance file-level SAN solution developed specifically for the Media and Entertainment markets by Rorke Data which utilizes our Galaxy Aurora RAID family and the HyperFS SAN file system. HyperDrive™, developed by Rorke Data and FalconStor is a scalable, high-performance storage area network (SAN) that keeps post workflows on time and on budget, and helps ensure profitable operations. HyperDrive™ offers the Video, Film, and Broadcast industries an outstanding performance/cost per gigabyte ratio while delivering high performance scalability and redundancy. Our file level SANs use metadata controllers and metadata ethernet to allow multiple simultaneous clients to write into one in the same volume or drive letter.

Storage Solutions for Video, Film & Broadcast

HyperDrive™ is an innovative, high-bandwidth storage solution that integrates Rorke’s Aurora RAID platform with FalconStor’s HyperFS SAN file system. HyperDrive meets the challenges of sharing content between today’s demanding post production hardware and applications by offering remarkable storage area network performance and scalability. HyperDrive does this by providing concurrent high-speed file access to heterogeneous clients across a global name space. The result is affordable cross-platform storage for Mac, Windows and Linux users while delivering sustained performance required by multi-stream HD and DPX workflows.

 

HyperFS and 3 Auroras can provide aggregated bandwidth to exceed 6GB/s. Ideal for a multi-suite, SAN-based DI, 3D or 4K collaboration.

Designed specifically for storing, accessing, and sharing media in collaborative workgroup environments, HyperDrive integrates seamlessly into the post production process. Our file locking storage solution supports accurate delivery of multiple reader or writer real-time high-resolution content without dropped frames.

Using the HyperFS solution, SAN software is no longer a bottleneck. All applications and systems that are part of the workflow will enjoy concurrent, real-time performance by harnessing the full potential of hardware and SAN speeds. HyperFS can tap the full power of InfiniBand, 10GbE, Fibre Channel (FC), and iSCSI connectivity together with Rorke’s Aurora RAID systems.
