E5600 Series of SAN Storage Systems
The NetApp E-Series of high-performance SAN storage is engineered for extreme video bandwidth and maximum storage capacity per rack unit. Large broadcast production workgroups, huge content repositories, and boutique 4K facilities, where no dropped frames can be tolerated, all rely on NetApp E-series, the only production storage platform with 99.999% reliability. Dynamic disk pools dramatically reduce disk rebuild time, improve performance during rebuilds, and eliminate the need for hot or cold spares. Use of flash in hybrid arrays optimizes support for ancillary transcoding and rendering workflows.
