Ultrastor RS16 + MetaLAN versus “SAN-in-a-box”

[Nathaniel Cooper]

Hey Ben,

We are just about to sign up a UK distributor who will be able to support you locally. This should happen within a couple of weeks. That said, if you need to do anything before then, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly.

Best,

Nate Cooper

Thanks – perhaps you could update the thread when one I’d announced? Can you provide a list price for Platform Studio?

Will do Ben, it shouldn’t be long. As far as pricing, you’ll be able to get everything you need under $10k USD.

Hello Ben,

My name is Jay Heikkila and I am the territory manager for Studio Network Solutions (SNS) in The UK. SNS is the manufacturer of the EVO shared storage system. https://www.studionetworksolutions.com/evo/

SNS has been providing turnkey shared storage solutions specifically to the media and content creation industry for 15 years now. Our EVO system has been shipping for 6 years now and is supported in 40 countries (including the UK). Full EVO systems with no per seat client licensing and all the workflow tools included start at $6,999. EVO is a SAN and NAS system in one box that needs no additional servers or metadata controllers.

I find it’s always best to gather as much info from a prospect as possible to help configure the best solution for your performance and budgetary needs. You said one option of yours is renting an ISIS, so I’m assuming you’re on Avid? EVO provides Avid bin and project sharing at no additional costs. What compressed HD codec(s) are you working with? (DNxHD?)

SNS has dozens of EVO installs across the UK including The BBC, Met Film, Discovery Channel, History Channel, Shepperton Studios and many more.

We also provide the tools for editors to start collaborative editing in the field that is included at no charge with an EVO.

Please contact me to learn more or to be put in touch with SNS’ European distributor.

Cheers!
