SeaChange BWFS consolidates different storage systems into a single storage pool where all connected clients share a single global namespace. It supports a massive capacity of up to 144PB, billions of files, and hundreds of clients, all in a single file system. Multiple volume groups can be defined with individual data allocation and placement parameters, allowing ultimate flexibility in supporting different requirements of connected applications. Storage reconfiguration is also transparent to clients, requiring no client configuration changes or downtime. SeaChange BWFS features a high-performance, low-latency architecture that provides direct block-level access simultaneously to BWFS clients. Employing an out-of-band data transfer architecture, data is directly transmitted between connected clients and physical storage over Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or Infiniband, allowing maximum performance and overcoming the long latencies and overhead of traditional file systems.
Key Features
High real time performance
SeaChange BWFS employs configurable write behind and read ahead buffers to provide high real time performance.
Highly tunable
SeaChange BWFS provides many tunable parameters and configuration knobs to enable tuning and customizing for media applications and underlying storage systems. This ensures that performance is optimized according to application behavior and requirements.
Access control
SeaChange BWFS is fully integrated with LDAP and Active Directory for IT-friendly multi-user access administration.
Key Benefits
Scalability Resource Management
content can be stored and future proofing the system even for rapid expansions Non-disruptive scaling means better productivity (no need to stop or delay production or playout when adding more storage)
Performance
the entire file system is consolidated and made easily available, no underutilized storage systems) More efficient workflows by reducing file transfers between parts of the workflow or applications with different operating systems
Cost
playout or editing sessions Simultaneously support different applications (i.e. playout, editing, etc) through efficient bandwidth management Better QoS through client bandwidth control and file system tunability
