ENTERPRISE-­‐CLASS  RAID  STORAGE  AT    
A  DESKTOP  SIZE  AND  A  DESKTOP  PRICE.  
 
Creative  professionals  and  media  producers  know  that  data    
storage  needs  become  more  demanding  with  each  successive    
generation  of  hi-­‐fi  and  hi-­‐def  content.  With  this  explosion  of    
information,  capacity  is  generally  the  primary  consideration.    
But  data  is  useless  if  it  can’t  be  accessed  reliably  and  protected    
securely.  A  bandwidth  bottleneck  or,  even  worse,  disk  failure    
can  spell  doom  for  mission-­‐critical  projects.  
 
Introducing  the  HIVE  4-­‐bay  mini-­‐RAID  system.  Pre-­‐configured  
with  enterprise-­‐class  drives  and  featuring  an  array  of  connec-­‐  
tivity  options,  the  HIVE  represents  the  ultimate  mini-­‐RAID    
storage  solution.  Traditional  mass-­‐storage  RAID  devices  are    
large  and  expensive,  requiring  climate-­‐controlled  environ-­‐  
ments  and  significant  rack  space.  HIVE  fits  easily  on  any    
desktop  and  represents  a  complete,  standalone  disk  array,    
at  a  fraction  of  the  cost  of  traditional  enterprise-­‐class  systems.  
 
HIVE  features  a  best-­‐in-­‐class,  no-­‐nonsense  2  year  warranty.    
If  your  unit  fails  to  perform  for  any  reason,  HIVE  will  repair    
or  replace  it  onsite  within  48  hours.  Guaranteed.  This  means    
less  downtime  and  more  time  accessing
 your  data.  
 
Capacity.  Accessibility.    
Security.  Economy.    
That’s  HIVE!
