Introducing 1stDesign™ Intelliraid™ FC-XPR

First Intelligent Video Storage with Raid 6 Protection plus Extreme Performance

1stDesign IntelliRaid FX-XPR:

Fibre Channel with eXtreme Performance and Reliability

Enterprise Level Features and Reliability:

  • Performance: IntelliRaid FC-XPR is the new Fiber Channel performance leader without sacrificing reliability. Dual read / write caching designed specifically for video, IntelliRaid FC-XPR FC-XPR supports dual stream, real-time, 10bit, 30fps, uncompressed, 1080i w/10 layers graphics on top!
  • IntelliRaid FC-XPR FC-XPR’s performance enhancements produce a sustained data rate over 450MBs, double the performance of previous storage in this price range.

  • Setup: Convenient, clear, easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI) or use its built-in LCD read-out. Instead of combinations of thumbwheel switches, push buttons and beeps, IntelliRaid FC-XPR FC-XPR talks to you in English allowing clear, easy to follow setup options. Use it turnkey out of the box or quickly change any setting.

  • Local or Remote Storage: IntelliRaid FC-XPR is exceptionally quiet and unlike older SCSI arrays, can be used in the edit suite. Or, for the ultimate in quite editing, use the Silent Partner™ option that allows the Computer and IntelliRaid FC-XPR to be up to 60’ away. But, unlike other storage solutions, due to its LAN connection, the user or other locations can check the status and even reconfigure IntelliRaid FC-XPR without going to the remote storage location.

  • Status and Error Reporting: If the status of your storage changes, IntelliRaid FC-XPR will inform you on the LCD read-out or through the GUI or it will even send you and other interested parties, e.g. your IT Department, an email.

  • Remote Interrogation: When notification is received, interested parties can interrogate the status of IntelliRaid FC-XPR remotely from any computer on your network or even remotely from off site locations if you choose.

  • Reliability: Older RAID designs are based on IDE drives and other cost cutting measures.
    • IntelliRaid FC-XPR uses the latest SATA2 SMART drive technology that monitors, anticipates and announces pending failures.
    • SATA2 disk reliability, mean time between failure (MTBF), is increased by a factor of 10, up to 1.2 M Hrs MTBF at 100% duty cycle.
    • Unique cable-less SATA2 backplane design eliminates common failures due to cables or connectors. Drives are shock mounted and in hot-swappable cartridges.
    • Critical components including fans and power supplies are redundant, modular and hot swappable and dual AC input is standard on the 10-disk unit.

  • Auto-Repair: IntelliRaid FC-XPR can be configured with “Hot Spares”. If there is a disk failure, in addition to not losing your data, the Hot Spare will automatically take over and replace the failed disk and you are protected again. Later, the failed disk can be hot swapped out and replaced. The new disk becomes the new Hot Spare.

  • Future Proof: Don’t purchase dead-end storage. In the near future there will be several cost effective real-time uncompressed HD editing solutions. IntelliRaid FC-XPR is ready now. It was designed for real-time HD and therefore handles all formats now and in the future.

  • Flexibility: IntelliRaid FC-XPR can be configured with multiple volumes, each in any RAID configuration including 0, 1, 1-0, 5 and video efficient RAID 3. It can also migrate size or RAID configuration without shutting down and unloading all data. After migrating, IntelliRaid FC-XPR will automatically optimize the location of data across the new RAID array.

  • Scalability: IntelliRaid FC-XPR can be scaled-up in several dimensions. You can start with the single controller 5-disk version for SD (8 layers) and low-end HD to reduce initial investment. At any time a second 5-disk unit can be added to double the capacity and/or to increase performance to real-time full 10 bit uncompressed HD levels.

  • Cost: The previous value leader in desktop storage attained lower cost due to minimal features, older technology, lower reliability, blocking 30% and low performance.

Now IntelliRaid FC-XPR sets a new level of Value for the video industry while providing a far superior feature set.

  • Compare to similar cost storage and gain:
    • Intelligent interface, local or remote access for setup and status
    • Double the performance (over 5 streams of SD w/ 5 disk unit)
    • Significantly increased reliability
    • Future-proof features and performance

  • Compare to similar performance storage and gain:
    • Unmatched features even compared at the $30,000 level
    • Quiet, small footprint operation
    • Savings up to 66% and more!
