ATG Danmon Signs Channel Partner Deal

ATG Danmon has signed a Channel Partner agreement with Digibox. The deal includes the full range of equipment from Studio Network Solutions (SNS), a US-based developer of shared storage systems for use in video and audio content production, editing and refining.

Stuart Taylor, Head of Product Sales, ATG Danmon, explained: "A lot of companies offer storage technology of one kind or another to the broadcast media market. In our role as a systems integrator we have explored a wide range of solutions and maintain an ongoing study of new developments in this sector. SNS storage combines all the most desirable characteristics we look for when designing a system, including reliability, ease of operation, feature flexibility, scalability and cost-efficiency. We will be offering SNS servers both standalone and, where appropriate, as elements of potential new systems."

Scott Noble, Sales Account Manager, Digibox, added: "ATG Danmon has already deployed SNS storage in a number of successful projects both in the UK and overseas. As a channel partner it will have greater access to the SNS knowledge base while at the same time increasing global awareness of the SNS brand. It is a positive move for all three parties and will certainly benefit ATG Danmon customers."

The SNS product range centres on the EVO shared storage workflow server. It is available in various sizes and capacities, from the 1U EVO Prodigy for studios with limited rack space, or for field use up to the EVO 16 Bay which can accommodate 80 drives per managed system, 28 GbE ports, 12 Fibre Channel ports and multiple 10 Gb Ethernet ports.

Also available is the SNS EVO Nearline server, designed for use as a secondary networked-storage tier to accommodate completed projects and related media before deep archive. The EVO Nearline can be accessed from workstations or other servers, using normal utilities like Apple OS X Finder or Microsoft Windows Explorer. Features of SNS servers include automatic project file locking, project/bin sharing, proxy previews, asset tagging, cloud integration, RAID 5/6 and LDAP/AD.
