AVID UPGRADES UNITY ISIS NETWORKED STORAGE SOLUTION

The update includes RAID 6 media protection for providing highly-reliable protection of media with 50 percent more capacity than mirroring technology.

Avid Unity ISIS File Gateway allows any contributor to store and access content, including graphics, stills, text or lower-resolution video, in Avid Unity ISIS. Customers may do this from any Windows, Mac or Linux workstation, via standard network attached (NAS) protocols.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard client support on Unity ISIS provides customers with support for the latest version of the Mac operating system.

Full Sail University has a Unity ISIS system at its education facility in Winter Park, FL, and served as a beta site for the 2.1 release. The shared storage system has opened up workflows to other departments, allowing them to centralize assets such as sound effects, music and graphics libraries. These assets can then be made available to students, allowing them to collaborate on projects.

Unity ISIS V.2.1 will be available later this month.
