Globalstor is keeping users on the cutting edge — its high-performance ExtremeStor-DI REDe workstation, designed specifically for working with digital cinema footage captured with the Red digital camera system, has been updated to use the new Nehalem processor architecture from Intel.
Nehalem — named after a river in Oregon — is the successor to Intel's very successful Core architecture, eking out more speed and efficiency compared to earlier generation processors. Built around hafnium-based 45nm hi-k metal gate silicon technology, the new architecture has been enthusiastically received by hardware mavens.
"The advanced processing capabilities of Intel's Nehalem architecture within this new workstation gives users access to unprecedented levels of speed, which is essential to an efficient, successful DI workflow," said Globalstor President Scott Leif in a prepared statement.
Designed for uncompressed capture and playback of HD and 2K material, the workstation is scalable from 2.5 to 24 TB of internal storage and delivers up to 1000 Mbps of sustained throughput in RAID 5. Pricing starts at around $17,000 for a 10-drive tower with capacity of 2.5 TB.
