ProMAX Challenges Avid ISIS 000 with the Introduction of the Platform Online 000

IBC Conference, Hall 7, Stand 7.A04 - ProMAX Systems, world leader in integrated workflow technology for creative media organizations, today announced Platform 1000 Workflow Server, a High-Performance shared storage system with built in native Avid Project Sharing (Bin Locking), Transcoding, Rendering and Asset Management. ProMAX Platform Online 1000 brings the speed, reliability and expandability of Enterprise Storage, enabling video professionals to accelerate and improve their creative process at an affordable price.

As an entry point into ProMAX' highest server class product line, Platform Online 1000 Workflow Server is the superior alternative to Avid ISIS 1000. ProMAX Platform Online 1000, now with the recent 4.6 software update including Avid Project Sharing (Bin Locking), beats Avid ISIS 1000 in every category, including streaming speeds, storage capacity, scalability, connectivity and price.

Platform Online 1000 has single node capacity up to 96TB and the ability to expand the system to multiple Petabytes with additional nodes. The 1000 also boasts two 5.25 drive bays that can be optionally filled with LTO drives, Drive Swaps, Card readers or a 4TB SSD RAID for additional high speed scratch drive.

The release of the Platform Online 1000 really changes the game for the small to medium Avid user base, stated Jess Hartmann, CEO, ProMAX Systems. With 85% faster streaming speed than the Avid ISIS 1000 (650 MB/sec vs. 350 MB/sec), and the ability to scale out into petabytes, this server sets a new bar for performance and scalability.

Additionally, with built in Asset Management, Transcoding, Rendering and the ability to connect existing storage devices, the Platform Online 1000 is a true workflow server that goes way beyond traditional shared storage. Platform Online 1000
