Avid ISIS 5000

The Avid ISIS 5000 is an easy-to-use, realtime, open shared storage solution that brings the power of best-in-class shared storage to local and regional broadcasters and post production facilities at a lower cost. The ISIS 5000 is built upon proven ISIS technology used in more than 700 major media enterprises to store, share and manage large quantities of digital media assets. Customers can improve allocation of creative resources and support changing project needs with an open shared storage platform that offers access to highperformance ISIS File System technology on lower cost hardware, support for third party applications and streamlined administration to create more content more affordably.

Designed to address the specific needs of workgroups requiring 40 or fewer client connections and looking for greater flexibility to accommodate ongoing changes and new business opportunities, the ISIS 5000 shared storage solution is fully tested and qualified with Apple Final Cut Pro (FCP), as well as support for an end-to-end Avid workflow.

Major features include the ISIS file system. This enhances collaborative workflows by delivering centralised media access with guaranteed real-time performance – optimised for digital media file sharing. As a result of Avid’s ISIS File System running on lower cost hardware, an enterprise-class, workflowenabling shared storage technology is now available to organisations for which this level of capability was previously out of reach.

The ISIS 5000 engine offers the ability to cost-effectively create compelling content by increasing the capacity to handle more projects and content in both SD and HD.

Support for Avid and Apple FCP editing systems enables customers to work with a variety of project workflows and leverage existing investments – as a result of an open architecture.

Other features include Ethernet connectivity; a FlexDrive and streamlined administration.
