APEX
The most powerful All-Flash Network Attached Storage Array for High-Resolution Image Workflows
For the most demanding high-bandwidth and high-resolution workflows, nothing can stop the power of Apex.The Apex all-flash network attached storage system was designed for extreme performance requirements and offers maximum sustained throughput performance for super high-bandwidth, low-latency concurrent sequential read/write use cases. Built on blazingly fast all-flash, SSD technology, Avalanche delivers the speed and performance you need for the most challenging production workflows.
Apex is an ideal solution for handling multiple concurrent streams of 4K, 6K, 8K and UHD video as well as High Frame Rate (HFR) and High Dynamic Range (HDR) content creation workflows. Apex integrates seamlessly with the market-leading media software applications allowing you to edit, render, transcode, color and incorporate visual effects faster than ever.
