The tailored storage solution

Customized and modular

As the need for storage increases over time, DVS's custom storage solutions are designed to scale to your requirements. DVS offers powerful entry level, mid-size and enterprise class storage solutions to meet a wide variety of requirements, while providing the modularity to adapt to each and every infrastructure present. Benefit from our years of SAN expertise and let us help you configure a cutting-edge storage system specifically tailored to your workflow needs.

Years of SAN expertise

Digital film and video post production and broadcasting present different requirements for storage than general use in the IT industry. DVS has years of experience handling both uncompressed and compressed high-resolution video material. DVS-SANs are high-performance storage solutions that exceed the demanding requirements of today's media industry workflows, and are designed to meet even future challenges head-on. Future-proof, the DVS-SAN provides a long-term solution for the unique requirements.

Data rates and formats

No matter which format, the DVS-SAN can handle it: DPX, TIFF, Cineon^®, QuickTime^®, JP2, JPC, MXF, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, R3D, WAV, etc. The DVS-SAN supports a wide variety of data rates: Work in real time with several uncompressed 4K streams in 10/12/16 bit parallel RGB 4:4:4 in levels scalable from 600 MB/s to 10 GB/s. The DVS-SAN's modular architecture enables the addition of storage clusters to yield even higher data rates and a larger number of parallel video streams. Our storage systems are built to sustain these data rates continuously, not just in short peaks.

System philosophy and openness

The DVS-SAN's strength is its open architecture – it is not a proprietary, insular solution. It supports every workflow and performance need. Whether working with compressed or uncompressed material in SD, HD, 2K or 4K, all connected clients can direct access digital film and video data on the DVS-SAN at sustained data rates. Create the perfect pair by teaming up your DVS-SAN with SpycerBox. Utilize the flexibility of the SpycerBox and the central storage of the DVS-SAN to achieve optimum compatibility and maximum performance in your storage system.

Time savings

DVS-SAN enables multiple workstations to access the stored material simultaneously. Bandwidth-intensive data streams can be accessed in parallel – and in real-time. Process data even while capturing. Time is no longer wasted on copying or exporting processes, allowing you to fully concentrate on the creative part of your work.

High availability with storage synchronization

With its 24/7 high availability option, SpycerBox ensures unin­terrupted operation offering extreme reliability through its failover functionality. SpycerBox's operational infrastructure eliminates single point-of-failure by safeguarding fault tolerance and granting continuous operation. Low latency instant synchronization ensures that the data is identical on both primary and secondary box at any given time. Benefit from instant failover in mission-critical workflows, specifically suited for 24/7 broadcast. Other fields of application include archive environments at multiple locations or synchronous/asynchronous data replicas. Even WAN-connectivity is possible. SpycerBox provides an integrated solution that is easy to manage, easy to maintain, and robust enough to act as the core of your workflow.
