Avid's ISIS | 2500 Ships

Avid is now shipping the next-generation ISIS® | 2500 nearline shared storage system and ISIS 4.7 software package.

Features include expanded capacity and scalability with a choice of new 160 and 320 TB engines. Customers can scale capacity by employing up to five ISIS | 2500 Engines for a possible total of 1.6 PB of raw disk-based nearline storage, offering cost efficiency when combined with ISIS | 7500 or ISIS | 5500.
ISIS | 2500 was built with the entire media production workflow in mind. It integrates with AirSpeed 5000 ingest/playout servers, Interplay asset management and Media Composer | Software, accelerating the end-to-end workflow. It also welcomes third-party applications and servers, enabling integration into existing infrastructures.
Everyone can access and share media on ISIS | 2500 when used with Interplay | Production, Avid MediaCentral | UX, or Media Composer | Cloud, extending real-time production everywhere. It supports any and all media files, enabling organisations to store content from a variety of media sources and easily find needed assets later. With ISIS | 2500, it’s possible to store proxies or multiple versions of a project for different channels of delivery and maintain a library of historic clips, stock footage and commonly used assets.
Avid Media | Director is the suitable for orchestrating file based workflows, freeing up camera media cards and disks by parking original source material on ISIS | 2500 until it's needed for the final conform
With RAID 6 protection against two concurrent disk failures, ISIS | 2500 offers dual-parity protection.
Users can search for assets across multiple storage tiers when using ISIS | 2500 within an Avid Interplay workflow. With the Media | Index module for the Media Suite, customers can search for, audition, and move clips and sequences across multiple Interplay databases, both local and remote, regardless of where the assets are stored.

Advantages of the updated ISIS 4.7 software include:

• Supports high-res media across all ISIS systems and 2K/4K and Ultra HD collaborative workflows with ISIS online systems
• Supports real-time, collaborative high-res workflows with third-party creative applications, including Adobe Premiere Pro, Autodesk Smoke, Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, and Apple Final Cut Pro X
• Doubles ISIS | 5500 and ISIS 5000 storage capacity by increasing support for up to 12 storage engines each (up from six)

ISIS | 2500 is immediately available for shipping. Pricing for ISIS | 2500 (with 160 TB ISIS Engine, System Director with Software License, and ExpertPlus Hardware Support) starts at $139,000 USD.
