G-RACK 12 – Video Storage With Performance And Reliability

G-Technology has long-served the creative industry's production needs from small portable drives to large, multi-bay RAID solutions and now G-Technology is making collaborating with your team a breeze with the new G-RACK Line, specifically designed to integrate with popular non-linear editing suites and provide a central storage location for all your digital content.

G-Technology's new G-RACK 12 network-attached storage (NAS) is built for 24/7 usage and delivers the ultimate in high-performance, centralised storage for small-to-medium size post-production houses, TV/broadcast studios, ad agencies and in-house creative departments.

The G-RACK 12 brings G-Technology's reliability, scalability and studio-friendly technology to centralised storage. Streamline demanding media and entertainment workflows of 4K and above with a flexible 12-Bay server offering up to 120TB, integration with popular non-linear editing (NLE) suites, the latest BTRfs file system for better data management and up to 500TB of usable storage with the addition of G-RACK EXP expansion chassis units.

The high-performance drive has an easy-to-use interface, ultra-reliable Enterprise-class HGST hard drives and comes with a 5-year limited warranty, meaning that you never need to worry about managing your digital content again.

Ben Uttley, Managing Director at Stamp Productions, says: "We have six workstations all running on one project at the same time. Using the G-RACK 12, everyone has access to the footage immediately. Without it, one person would ingest the footage but other users would not have access to it.

"If it takes an hour for an editor to transfer content from one workstation to another, it costs us money. Being so efficient means our clients are often surprised at how quick we can turn things around. In such a competitive market, this speed is a real advantage over our rivals."

The G-RACK 12 from G-Technology can give you a competitive edge by streamlining your digital media and entertainment workflows.
