Tiger Technology ships new, ‘compact and affordable’ Tiger Series shared storage solutions

Tiger Technology has announced the shipment of two new Tiger Series intelligent storage workflow systems, set for shipment on September 23, 2014 with orders being taken immediately. Tiger Box1 and Tiger Serve1 are 1-rack unit, integrated shared storage workflow appliances designed specifically for smaller creative teams. Their small footprint and accessible pricing put the benefits of a true SAN workflow into the hands of facilities that would otherwise have to settle for the limitations and bottlenecks of volume-level sharing products.

Tiger Box1 and Tiger Serve1 are both powered by the Tiger Intelligent Storage Workflow Engine which incorporates advanced technology, engineering and proprietary system design to increase performance over Ethernet networks, and free users from time-consuming and technically demanding maintenance. These integrated systems are the backbone for complete rich media production pipelines, and include Tiger projectStore for workspace management. They support the Tiger Workflow System with projectStore PRO and Replication & Tiering.

Robert Keske, CEO, Tiger Technology, said, “Up to now, smaller content-centric workflows have only been able to afford NAS type workflows which stifle productivity and creativity with their inherent performance limitations. Tiger has created these new compact and affordable systems just for these smaller creative editorial facilities, corporate production departments, and islands within bigger facilities so they too can get all the productivity boosting capabilities the Tiger Series family offers.”

The Tiger Box1 Compact Shared Storage Workflow System is a state of the art integrated intelligent storage solution designed to solve workflow challenges for creative professionals, boutique post studios, corporate production departments and other small content-production teams. Tiger Box1 enables high-speed Ethernet-based multi-user project collaboration through media and metadata sharing, and file system defragmentation and sequence optimization which increases performance, productivity, and uptime. Tiger Box1 includes five client seats, projectStore basic workspace management, and 24/7 professional support.

The Tiger Serve1 Compact Shared Storage Workflow Controller is an advanced, integrated intelligent shared storage workflow solution for small and medium content-centric production environments that have precise storage and network requirements. Speed up your production and project management workflows with facility-class high performance file sharing, flexible connections, and easy licensing from a highly engineered custom appliance with a footprint just right for your budget and setup.
