Montreal, Quebec –
April 19, 2006 – Maximum Throughput Inc. (www.max-t.com),
developers of ultra high performance software-based solutions for networked
storage infrastructure and media management, announced today that they
will be demonstrating several industry first technologies at the National
Association of Broadcaster’s (NAB) show in Las Vegas, April 24-27.
In addition to demonstrating the Sledgehammer™
and Xstoner™ product lines as they are used in many facilities
today, the company will be showing the following new technologies:
- Sledgehammer Dual Stream –
the industry’s first-ever uncompressed dual stream HD-capable
digital disk recorder (DDR). The ideal system in support of disk-to-disk
color grading, Sledgehammer’s new dual stream capability allows
it to supply the source footage for grading, and simultaneously act
as the destination VTR, recording the final graded material to the
same storage. Sledgehammer systems still maintain their high-speed
NAS capabilities in the dual stream configuration.
- MAXcluster – the first
clustered storage solution to support guaranteed real-time I/O streams.
MAXcluster™ provides a transparent clustered storage solution
for multiple Sledgehammer systems, and supports multiple real-time
I/O streams at HD and even 2K resolutions while still providing simultaneous
NAS-based access to all shared contents.
- High-Speed Backup – backup
via Infiniband or 10GigE connectivity. Supporting sustained speeds
of up to 500MB/sec., this capability eliminates the bottleneck that
arises when dealing with many terabytes of data that must be regularly
backed up.
- Wiretap and PC Support for Xstoner
– Xstoner will be shown running on both the Mac and PC platforms,
and will also be demonstrated in a Wiretap-enabled Autodesk environment.
Commenting on the company’s upcoming presence
at NAB was Giovanni Tagliamonti, the company’s CEO. “We’re
very excited about our NAB presence this year. This will be our biggest
show yet, and with eight Sledgehammer systems on the floor, in our booth
and with our partners Sony, Autodesk, and Cintel, we’re very eager
to demonstrate both today’s shipping product as well as the ground
breaking solutions that our development team, in working with our customers,
have come up with.”
