High-performance Shared Storage Appliance

For companies dealing with high-performance digital video requirements that want a 

simple and inexpensive way to maximize the efficiency of their storage infrastructure, 

PROMISE VTrak A-Class Shared Storage Appliances are the fastest and easiest to 

deploy as well as the most cost effective solution in the industry. Unlike expensive 

solutions  that  require  complex  multi-vendor  interoperability  and  support,  the  VTrak 

A-Class provides a single-vendor solution that is as easy to setup and configure as it 

is on the pocketbook.

PROMISE Technology has been a trusted supplier to the Media & Entertainment 

marketplace for nearly 20 years. Trusted by thousands of companies to store their most 

precious digital assets, PROMISE VTrak A-Class Appliances continue the PROMISE 

legacy of delivering the storage solutions that users and applications require and a 

price nearly anyone can afford.

Whether you need added capacity or increased high-speed access to the data, VTrak 

A-Class provides the flexibility you need. The system seamlessly supports petabytes 

of data in a single namespace. SAN performance is delivered via Fibre Channel 

connectivity with the optional ability to expand to NAS access via NFS and CIFS. VTrak 

A-Class interoperates seamlessly no matter what set of applications share the storage 

pool and is supported by all major operating systems including Mac OS X, Linux and 

Windows. 

One VTrak A-Class system will allow complete file sharing across all aspects of your 

workflow  without  the  need  for  multiple  storage  systems.  A  single  VTrak  A-Class 

will  support  simultaneous  shared  reads  and  writes  for  online  editing,  color  grading, 

graphics work, offline editing, transcoding and more. Don’t bother with the expense 

and cumbersome management of separate storage systems when a single scalable 

VTrak A-Class system will do the trick.

PROMISE VTrak A-Class delivers high-performance file sharing for nearly all aspects 

of Media and Entertainment, including video, film and broadcast, at a fraction of the 

cost of its competitors. The appliances combine to create a flexible multi-application 

ecosystem able to share files across the SAN or LAN from Mac OS X, Linux or Windows 

applications. A-Class meets the demands of real-time multi-stream environments for 

HD, 2K, 4K, and 3D workflows by delivering high-bandwidth, low-latency performance 

from a single folder or mount point. 

The controller and management software is delivered in a single platform. When 

combined with VTrak x30 storage arrays, the shared file environment can scale up to 

petabytes of usable storage and billions of files. VTrak A-Class is the industry’s simplest 

to  deploy,  configure  and  maintain  due  to  the  new  embedded  unified  management 

software which combines simple to understand dashboards, reporting, monitoring and 

administration for the entire VTrak A-Class and VTrak Client ecosystem.
