Maximum Throughput Introduces MAXcluster

First Ever Clustered Storage Solution with Huge Scalable Bandwidth and Guaranteed Real-Time Performance

Montreal, CANADA, April 9, 2007 — 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 it will be demonstrating its clustered storage solution, MAXcluster, at NAB 2007 (Booth SL12115).

“The shared storage requirements for the media and broadcast markets are unique to the industry and cannot be delivered by traditional solutions,” commented Giovanni Tagliamonti, Max-T’s CEO. “MAXcluster has been defined and designed from its core to address the huge bandwidth needs as well as real-time throughput provisioning.”

Post production and broadcasters deal with huge amounts of media that must be simultaneously accessed by many facility resources, and in a cost effective fashion. MAXcluster delivers the highest level of throughput available today, and scales to petabytes of capacity and tens of gigabytes/sec. of network throughput.

Tagliamonti continued, “Our customers also have to see their media in real-time, so we built into the system the capability to provision specifics levels of throughput to selected network clients, even while the cluster continues to deliver file-based access to other users. MAXcluster is wholly unique in the marketplace in delivering this capability.”

Corey Stewart, the Director of Systems Engineering at Postworks, New York (www.pwny.com) added the following, “We’ve had MAXcluster installed since January of this year, and as we ramp up its integration into the facility, we’re more amazed every day at what it can do. We access the system concurrently for real-time film scanning and color grading, even while multiple artists use the same material. We can also make real-time HD masters of stored 2K material on the fly. We see this as the future of our film-based Digital Intermediate and digital dailies work.”

MAXcluster can be fully configured and tailored to any facility’s needs, including storage capacity, throughput, concurrent real-time users, and video I/O nodes for any video resolution.
