Inline's Storage Puts First US Digital Govt TV Station In A Box Via Orbit
Inline Corporation today announced that its high capacity MorStor TF465 servers are the storage component powering Al-Hurra, the new Arabic-language all-digital satellite television network. Al-Hurra (New Freedom) is funded by the Department of State who chose TGS, a Chantilly, VA integrator to build the system. TGS was charged with choosing and integrating all the components for the TV station. Part of the requirement for Al-Hurra was that it be able to operate 100 percent of the time. Inline's MorStor TF465 storage array servers bested the competitors based on performance and reliability and were chosen to handle the video and data. Each Fault Tolerant MorStor TF465 Fibre Channel storage array can handle up to 35TB and provides the customer with more than 40 GB/sec of throughput -- more than enough to handle the performance requirements of this demanding fully digital station. The arrays are expandable and can handle Al-Hurra's planned expansion into other Arabic speaking countries. "We are proud to be a part of this historic all digital satellite TV station," said John Tibbitts, Inline Corporation's CEO. "We are also proud to be supporting the State Department's mission by providing a superior performing and reliable product. We have designed our entire MorStor family for this purpose -- to operate in mission critical situations where failure is not an option." The station is based in Virginia and is a complete TV production facility built from the ground up to take advantage of Inline's powerful storage products. The facility accommodates camera feeds, editing stations, animation design, and other functions -- all feeding into the Inline Storage Array. The output of the Array is than beamed via satellite to the Middle East. Related Links http://www.alhurra.com/ Inline SpaceDaily Search SpaceDaily Subscribe To SpaceDaily Express
