MediaStore™ provides scalable and reliable high-performance disk-based shared storage for all content stored in Spectrum™ media server systems. The latest MediaStore 5000 storage arrays contain up to 24 high-performance serial-attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives-with disk capacity options of 300 GB, 600 GB, 900 GB or 1.2 TB, broadcasters can access up to 83.4 TB of usable online storage, making it easy to tailor a Spectrum system to their exact needs.
Each hot-swappable drive in a MediaStore 5000 enclosure is connected via two integral SAS expanders. Storage capacity can be added at any time without disrupting on-air operations, while SAS connectivity between MediaStores and the rest of the Spectrum system guarantees the bandwidth required for real-time media operations. Up to four MediaStores can be daisy-chained in a single Spectrum system to create a complete server solution with unmatched bandwidth and storage capacity.
