JMR Electronics, Inc. a leading provider of scalable storage solutions, announced today that southern California based La Grange Post had chosen the company’s BlueStorTM SHARE Networked Storage Server as their central storage hub, in addition to adding JBOD expansion for 200TB capacity to power future growth.
La Grange Post, which opened its doors in 2008, provides content companies and producers with a variety of services ranging from digital conversions and deliveries, to video/audio editing and color correction, to audio/video restoration, foreign tracks conforming and film-to-video transfers. The facility and its customer centric staff, with experience in broadcast, theatrical, corporate AV and web-based programming, also features 4K off-line and on-line editing bays, complete camera and light packages, graphic development, original music composers and state-of-the-art sound facilities.
JMR’s BlueStor SHARE with 10GbE fiber I/O connections, powered by euroNAS OS, acts as the central drive and repository for all La Grange’s edit bays, which uses Mac and AVID software platforms. According to facility owner Ayal Nitzan, “We spent a great deal of time searching for assets across multiple drives and were not able to see everything in one location or GUI window prior to integrating the JMR SHARE NAS storage system. Our system requirements included a future-proof system that would be able to handle the read/write requirements of up to 4K workflows from multiple edit bays, have a very high degree of reliability, comprehensive functionality, excellent client support and at a reasonable price.”
La Grange did significant due diligence before deciding on JMR. Added Nitzan, “Aside from the high degree of expected performance and reliability, we wanted a system that could handle high-load shared storage applications and having a software license that doesn’t charge us for additional storage capacity. We looked at LaCie, OWC, Synology, HGST and ExaGrid before deciding on JMR and their BlueStor SHARE system. The JMR system is advanced, rock solid and reliable; their support personnel are extremely knowledgeable, and customer focused; and the system has proven to be simple-to-install-and-use. Bottom line – a win-win for our clients due to the significant improvement in workflow efficiency and great ROI for us.”
