PRODUCT FOCUS

Its becoming a 100 Gig world

Oceanstor 9000
Fully symmetrical distributed
architecture for performance and
huge scalability. A single super-large
file system supports Global
Namespace and can expand up to
60 Petabytes.
CE8800 data centre switch

SSD Storage
We are replacing 2.5-inch SAS
HDDs with high-performance SSDs
at a competitive price. Disk
capacities up to 3.2 TB.
E9000 Blade Server
This 12U chassis accommodates
16 half-width blades with 2 x 2.3
GHz Intel Haswell EX Xeon
processors to offer 576 cores.

In todays content business, industrial strength IT hardware and data

networks are required to manipulate, store and move the many 2K,
4K and even 8K files that are being generated daily.
10 Gigabit Ethernet is now
a workflow bottleneck

E9000 blade
server system

Huaweis new 100GEcapable CE8800 switch and

100GE plug-in optics are
both surprisingly affordable.

RH2288H Server
2U chassis, 2 x 2.3 GHz Intel Haswell
EX Xeon processors, up to 16 DDR4
DIMMs, up to 16 x 3.5-inch HDDs
or 28 x 2.5-inch HDDs, Supports
PCIe SSD cards - 6 x PCIe 3.0 slots.
Powerful!

With support for up up 576 cores per 12U chassis, the E9000 blade
server system is highly space-efficient and consumes much less power
than conventional rack servers.

100 GE Switch
Affordable dark fibre and new
lower-priced CFPs (next generation
100 GE optical transceivers) now
make 100GE a viable connectivity
option. The versatile 2U Huawei
CE8800 data centre switch supports
100GE, 10GE and GE connectivity.

OceanStor 9000 chassis

The OceanStor 9000 storage subsystem is

hugely scalable and competitively priced,
especially when considered for use in realtime
high resolution applications such as colour
grading and client attend VFX sessions.

If you are considering a technology refresh or wish to investigate the

possibilities of a 100 Gigabit Ethernet-based network infrastructure,
please get in touch. Our contact details are over the page.
