For high throughput applications such as post production workflow, ingesting, editing, color grading, and media rendering this system can sustain three 4K streams concurrently and improves users' productivity. "Echostreams' adoption of Mellanox (News - Alert) 56Gb/s Virtual Protocol Interconnect® adapter enables access to storage over RDMA which eliminates performance bottlenecks, associated with manipulations of very large size files, that are typically used in the broadcasting industry," said Motti Beck, Director, Enterprise Market Development at Mellanox Technologies. "Using our most advanced interconnect makes the Echostreams' FlacheSAN1 platform an extremely cost-effective but high performance white box OEM solution for this market."
