Facilis Terrablock - Key Features

WINDOWS AND MAC OSX MULTI-USER WRITE
Multiple Windows and Mac OSX clients may simultaneously write to a virtual volume without any third party software. Content updates occur in real time. The TerraBlock achieves this with no per seat licensing, external metadata controllers or complex networking.

FIBRE AND ETHERNET CONNECTIVITY
The TerraBlock's versatility offers both Fibre channel and Ethernet Connectivity. The TerraBlock's Ethernet option is the optimal solution for low bandwidth or high client count environments. Facilities that require high bandwidth can make use of the standard 8Gb Fibre connectivity available on the TerraBlock. Clients may direct connect to the TerraBlock without the use of a Fibre channel switch. Both the Ethernet and Fibre clients can access the same Multi Write volume at the same time.

DYNAMIC VOLUME ACCESS
The TerraBlock is the only shared storage solution that allows you to dynamically change volumes based on your needs. You can change a volume from Single User write to Multi User write and back with a click of a button. Any volume can be assigned Read Only permissions to avoid accidental writes or deletions. The TerraBlock can easily be configured to optimize your workflow.

PROJECT AND MEDIA SHARING
As part of the Facilis Shared File System, TerraBlock delivers a unique File System Emulation mode which allows Multi-user Write volumes to work with native project sharing in industry leading applications.

VIRTUALIZED VOLUMES FOR SIMPLIFIED WORKFLOW
TerraBlock Virtual volumes allow for simplified workflow for ingest, collaboration and archive. Every volume has full system bandwidth regardless of size, and that bandwidth never decreases, even when the system is at full capacity. Due to innovative data placement, file fragmentation is never an issue.

DYNARAID
All virtual volumes can be protected from drive failure through Mirroring or RAID5. The RAID scheme can be changed on the fly without loss of data.

DEDICATED TO POST PRODUCTION
Facilis products have been deployed along with a wide range of editing clients, 3D/2D graphics animation, color grading, encoding, archive and asset management products. The TerraBlock was created to compliment all post production processes as they transition into HD formats.
