SuccessStory-VideoClaritybringsATTOinto8KStreaming
Video Clarity, a software and hardware company in the broadcast media industry, is one such provider looking to take on the data challenges the market is anticipating. Video Clarity is in the business of making playout servers and analyzers, which enable customers to stream and analyze raw 8K footage. The ATTO solution came in the form of the ExpressSAS® host bus adapter (HBA). When Video Clarity approached ATTO with this problem, ATTO engineers recognized that the problem was RAID capability for maximum data access—something competitors just couldn’t supply. ATTO suggested using the 12Gb ExpressSAS HBAs to leverage 12Gb speeds and next generation PCI that would give them the bandwidth they needed to protect and stream 8K file sizes.
