More storage for “Tatort”, “Traumschiff” & others in post production
To ensure that the renowned Studio Hamburg Postproduction does not run out of storage, Kuckenberg Technologies consequently installed 400 terabytes from Starline.
Storage space for film & television from Starline
An FC infrastructure and storage for post-production
Studio Hamburg Postproduction is one of the most prominent service centres for both film and television in Germany. At an early stage, the “Tatort” producers entrusted the service provider Kuckenberg Technologies with the planning of a powerful and, moreover, reliable RAID system. This was the requirement profile of the specialists from Studio Hamburg for the new RAID system:
- Easy integration into a Fibre Channel StorNext SAN
- High storage capacity
- Subsequent expansion option via JBODs
Plenty of room to work for post production
Memory for 4K resolution and HDR motifs in post production
As a long-standing Starline customer, Kuckenberg Technologies’ decision in favour of a RAIDdeluxe system was therefore an easy one. Equipped with 64x 8 TB hard disks, the RDL-BD64F08 system was the right choice for such applications, especially since it delivers high data transfer rates and easily handles constant database access. Therefore it was also the ideal solution as storage for the requirements at Studio Hamburg Postproduction.
Our solution
Starline therefore delivered the RAIDdeluxe system as requested by the customer. It was preconfigured with RAID level 6 and 2x 202 TB usable volume split into four RAID sets. The installation of the storage at Studio Hamburg Postproduction went smoothly.
The new system could therefore be integrated into the existing IT infrastructure within one day. The measured data transfer rate at the time was around 850 megabytes per second. By the way, under StorNext 4.7, the storage composition also ran very well.
