The CalDigit SuperShare is a revolutionary solution to the traditional SAN. Based on direct connect PCIe technology, the CalDigit SuperShare is an extremely fast hardware solution that allows users to access a pool of shared storage simultaneously. The epicenter of the centralized storage system is the SuperShare Switch with 6 Ports and SuperShare Hub.
The SuperShare Hub allows connection to super fast CalDigit storage solutions like the HDPro2 and HDPro-24. The SuperShare Hub then connects to the SuperShare Switch, which connects to a metadata server and workstations using optical cable technology. This collaboration makes sharing CalDigit storage solutions easy, fast and affordable.
Unlike many fiber SAN solutions, SuperShare only requires a single 20Gb/s cable to connect to each workstation, including the host cards.
This 6-port switch allows connections for up to 6 workstations.
With centralized storage, data is stored in a single location and can be accessed by multiple workstations simultaneously. Sharing content can streamline workflows, eliminating bottlenecks and the need to copy files. Countless hours can be saved by eliminating the need to copy data to multiple users on direct attached storage solutions. Deadlines are easier to meet due to increased productivity and there is no more searching for files in multiple locations. CalDigit's SuperShare not only allows clients to save time by eliminating the constant need to move storage units around, but also helps clients share content so that the right people can access the right content at anytime.
Creative professionals need tools that let them work the way they want to without hindering the creative process, and the CalDigit SuperShare solves this demand with an incredibly fast PCIe based solution, with support for a virtually unlimited amount of users and storage. This makes all workflows both efficient and effective.
The low cost of ethernet based shared storage solutions can be very appealing. The relatively low bandwidth can provide many limitations and cause frustration and an unstable solution. By simply adding dedicated hardware like the SuperShare, shared storage becomes extremely fast and effcient. With centralized storage, it is likely to have more than one unit of storage, allowing more bandwidth to read and write, increasing the overall bandwidth speeds while keeping the cost relatively low.
