LAS VEGAS, April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- JMR Electronics, Inc., a leading provider
of scalable storage systems for video and data intensive applications, will
showcase several new high performance RAID storage solutions as part of their
BlueStor(TM) family   for post production and broadcast at the NAB 2009 show
in the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 20th - 23rd.  

At JMR's booth (SL 8206), the company will introduce its newest Fibre Channel
RAID storage product, FibreStream(TM). With playback read speeds exceeding
1,300 MB/s, FibreStream is ideal for today's 24/7 workflow intensive rich
media and critical data IT markets where powerful sustained performance,
absolute data integrity and supreme reliability in a storage system are key
factors for business continuance. FibreStream delivers unparalleled
performance and data protection for applications in standard and
high-definition video post-production, digital prepress, disk-to-disk backup,
audio post, email compliance, data warehousing, data mining and transaction
based environments.

FibreStream can be configured for RAID levels 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, 40, 50 or 60
and can store up to 32 TB (24 TB available now using 1.5 TB SATA-2 drives and
up to 32 TB using upcoming 2 TB SATA-2 drives) in a single 3U 16-bay RAID
shelf. To expand storage beyond the 16 internal drives, simply daisy-chain the
FibreStream system to JMR's BlueStor SAS JBOD Expansion unit - multiple
expansion units can be connected in this manner to create truly customized
storage.

For those seeking blazingly fast, highly reliable and affordable Direct
Attached Storage options, JMR's BlueStor product line includes their patented
PeSAN(TM) RAID systems, which were developed to be the ultimate in
high-performance Direct Attached (Networked Attached Storage or Server
solutions available) for content creation, VOD, video editing and 2K/4K
Digital Intermediate (DI) film applications requiring extremely high sustained
throughput and reliability. A single 16-bay 3U RAID array with up to 16 - 32
TB raw capacity using the latest in SATA-2 HDDs (or 4.8TB using SAS HDDs),
delivers over 1,400 MB/s.  This exceeds the performance requirements for
multi-stream SD, HD and 2K DI applications. For collaborative or multi-stream
SD/HD and 2K/4K DI workflows requiring even higher performance and scalable
storage, BlueStor PeSAN powered RAIDs can achieve up to 4,000 MB/s and be
expanded to over 4,000 TB using the current JMR PeSAN technology.

Another JMR product available at booth SL 8206 will be the BlueStor(TM) EXTN-8
PCIe x8 Extender Storage System.  The EXTN-8 is a one-of-a-kind product
allowing PCI Express bus expansion from a host server.  The BlueStor Extender
provides 5 PCIe expansion slots in an external 3U rackmount also containing 16
hot-swap SAS/SATA disk drive bays and a SAS Expander.  Plugging a PCIe SAS
RAID controller into one of the Extender slots builds a RAID storage system. 
Other slots may be used as needed for other peripherals. Each BlueStor PCIe
Extender has an x8 port for the host connection, plus one x8 PCIe slot and
four x4 PCIe slots.  To concatenate Extenders, simply plug in a PCIe adapter
card into the x8 slot and use an x8 PCIe external cable to another Extender. 
Hundreds of configurations are possible using this unique full-bandwidth
extension system.
