Creativity Fueled By Symply
There are many shared storage systems on the market today. Some are priced high, complex, and well regarded. Others are less expansive, and less complex. The difference is almost universally that lower priced and especially IP shared storage solutions lack enterprise redundancy. With today’s highly demanding workflows, it is just not good enough to have single points of failure in a system. Even the best “next day” support does not help if a system is down and there is a project to deliver.
Built on an ultra-modern, ultra-fast and ultra-capable storage platform, field-proven RAID storage, and an integrated and seamless blending of Fibre Channel and Ethernet sharing, SymplyULTRA II can be adapted as your needs and workflows change – all effortlessly monitored and managed with SymplyRTM software.
With SymplyULTRA II you get all the redundancy, performance, and capabilities found in others 8U rack systems cleverly packaged into a modern, highly-integrated 2U system, saving valuable rack space, eliminating inefficient and often less reliable interconnects, and ensuring everything works together for optimal efficiency.
Symply is built on StorNext 6, the industry leading sharing software for media production supporting Windows, Mac & Linux operating systems. It has the greatest marketshare by a large margin, and due to its performance and reliability, continues to dominate media production collaboration. Symply fits seamlessly into existing storage and networking infrastructure, helping you to lower administrative costs and increase investment protection.

With Symply, Failure is Not an Option
Symply uniquely provides true 100% Active/Active operation with no single point of failure – 100% redundant operation – Disk, Power, Cooling and Storage Controllers. Symply helps customers meet every deadline – and deal with component failures later. Large capacity hard disk failures are rebuilt in hours, not days, and the technology offers better than RAID 6 redundancy. Unlike other all-in-one products SymplyUltra does not compromise. Not on capacity, capability or cost.
Deterministic Performance for Media Workflows
Symply’s advantage in enabling effective collaboration using media creation tools is delivering enough dedicated bandwidth for delivering the stream count needed – combined with low enough latency to eliminate dropped frames and performance glitches. In addition, Symply is resilient enough to handle “non-perfect state” operation, such as drive fails, controller fails without affecting normal operations. Beyond this, Symply’s system design can accommodate long periods of 100% duty cycle operation without interruption.
