Power to succeed
As a broadcast or post-production facility decision maker you face the real-world challenges of how to store, share and manage large quantities of digital media assets.

Multiple islands of storage mean costly management overhead, so you want to consolidate to a single high capacity, highly scalable system that can accommodate all the needs of your facility and accommodate future growth. As a production manager, you are looking for a system that delivers the benefits of shared workgroups, while still empowering individual users with the kind of high performance and predictability typically associated with local drive arrays. Avid Unity ISIS uniquely delivers on all counts, combining high performance, scalability and availability with powerful yet simple to use management tools and an open architecture
