Synergy HD Provides Cost-Effective Storage Protection

With hundreds of aging Avid storage systems in the field that have no replacement or expansion options. Archion, based in Burbank, CA, is offering a storage trade-in program for Avid Unity and LANshare owners. The trade-in, which runs until Dec. 31, allows customers with obsolete ZX and ZX3 chassis to receive trade-in credit toward Archion’s Synergy HD storage array.
Archion said its Synergy HD provides media protection for a 50 percent lower cost than equivalent mirrored Avid storage. Its hardware RAID protects data in the event of a drive failure without the need to mirror. The array is designed to expand the storage requirements of existing Unity systems without the need to replace or upgrade their current Unity infrastructure.

The company’s latest product, the Synergy HD4, features full compatibility with Unity, while offering 400MBps to 800 MBps bandwidth with dual 4GB FC ports and a capacity of up to 12 TB in a 3 RU box. It’s a SATA II to FC Raid storage system designed for networking digital video systems in an Avid Unity environment. It offers 2 ports of 4 GB FC connectivity and is certified with Unity 3.3 thru 5.0 systems.
