The 2 Terabyte globalSAN X-8 is rated to deliver 128 tracks of 24-bit/48k playback per workstation using Pro Tools. The 4 Terabyte globalSAN X-16 is rated to deliver 32 streams of DV or 8 streams of uncompressed SD video(a) using Final Cut Pro. “Our new X-8 and X-16 are the long-awaited solutions for every studio and post-production facility looking for an affordable, multi-platform system that can actually handle their Final Cut Pro, Avid and Pro Tools editing over an Ethernet connection.” “Just as globalSAN is a natural extension to our existing line of A/V SAN PRO Fibre Channel-based storage solutions, the evolution to a fully configured, pre-packaged, high-speed Ethernet-based SAN solution (IP SAN) was the next logical step,” stated Gary Holladay, SNS President.

Both systems include licenses of iSANmp volume sharing software and both systems can be upgraded to support additional users/storage. SNS will offer globalSAN X-8, an eight-bay, four-user package with 2 Terabytes of high performance SATA storage and globalSAN X-16, a 16-bay, six-user package with 4 Terabytes of high performance SATA storage. The development process for the iSCSI initiator was guided by one very important premise: make it perform exceedingly well for audio and video applications. SNS created the iSCSI initiator in order to meet the increasing demand for affordable robust storage alternatives by Mac users. In order to take the globalSAN line of multi-platform products from concept to reality, SNS had to create an iSCSI initiator for the Macintosh. The easy-to-use, yet powerful technology enables a high-speed, lower-cost storage solution that is capable of spanning nearly any IP network.

globalSAN X-8 and X-16 employ iSCSI to enable an IP-based Storage Area Network. Studio Network Solutions’ new systems offer a cost effective pathway towards achieving performance nearing that of Fibre Channel.

Studio Network Solutions (SNS), a leading designer and manufacturer of storage technology systems for the professional audio/video industry, announced the release of globalSAN X-8 and X-16, the first fully configured iSCSI SAN solutions to support Macintosh and Windows.
