Pronology Introduces Upgraded NAS Appliance
“rNAS is optimized for higher data throughput than any other comparable product on the market"
Pronology expands its portable storage offerings with the updated rNAS.m4, a Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution, along with its new rTB appliance, which utilizes a Thunderbolt 3 interface.
“rNAS is optimized for higher data throughput than any other product currently on the market within this portable form factor," says Jonathan Aroesty, company president. “With the addition of rTB, we now also have a solution for those using Thunderbolt 3-capable devices. These latest storage offerings are another important piece of the production workflow tools that Pronology provides.”
rNAS.m4 was developed in response to customer requests for resilient, high-performance storage that can stand up to the rigors of remote production and transportation. It is for the acquisition and transport of broadcast media assets and all other types of data in “a road-ready enclosure”.
“rNAS.m4 easily handles the increased amounts of data required by 4K productions. This compact and extremely durable NAS solution is also rack-mountable and features a proprietary external status display module,” added Aroesty.
Like rNAS, rTB is compact, rack-mountable, vibration and impact resistant. “rTB targets users who want the industries’ best hardware RAID technology with the speed and performance of Thunderbolt connectivity,” he said.
Both appliances feature hot swappable drives all while being lightweight, desktop quiet and nearly indestructible. Both are available with custom hard or soft carrying cases to allow for safe and easy transportation of invaluable data and media assets.
