"Fast access to and efficient management of data, and hardware, and particularly software innovations, such as Tiger Technology’s metaSAN, are the catalysts for success in today’s collaborative, heavy-bandwidth work environments."

 

Robi Roncarelli, Market Analyst, PIXEL Inc.

"I am giving metaSAN five stars! If I ever end up working in another facility that needs to implement a SAN, I will definitely recommend it. I’d also recommend it to anyone involved in video that needs a file-level sharing SAN."

 

Joe Kirby, Assistant Chief Engineer, FOX 54 – WZDX TV

"With metaSAN/metaLAN in place, every artist has instant access to data by simply clicking on the local hard drive in “My Computer” – and all this without having to perform sophisticated network administration."

 

Alex Rizov, FX Supervisor, Topform Studio

"I recommend metaSAN to anyone investigating a shared storage solution, especially to anyone Final Cut Pro based production house wanting to maximize their multi-station editing workflow."

 

Graeme Nattress, President of Nattress Productions Inc.

"metaSAN is the ideal SAN management solution for Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and Gigabit Ethernet networks. So far, we have tested metaSAN with Huge Media-Vault and Fibrenetix Storage systems, Qlogic SANBox switches, and Atto Celerity host bus adapters and have never experienced any compatibility issues."

 

Jörg Hoffman, PSIBER GmbH

"I’m using an HP xw9300 with 4 x SATA2 drives and a Bluefish444 HD Lust board. Whenever trying to capture DPX files, the system would run for 100-250 frames and then drops frames. After installing metaSAN and using DDO and FSO the system can now capture DPX files without any problem!"

 

Gerbrand De Ridder, Trans Tec bv

"Our customers have been clamouring for tools that will help them add intelligence to their workgroups. We are very pleased to be working with Tiger Technology to address this demand."

 

Howard Solomon, President, Integrity Data Systems

"By turning off-the shelf storage and networking components into versatile, easy to support, and highly scalable shared storage workgroups, metaSAN is ideally suited to solve a wide range of workflow configurations at a great price."

 

John Connolly, Midwest Media Group President

"metaSAN’s unique ability to allow multiple cross-platform users to share content and collaborate efficiently while maintaining very high bandwidth will afford us a highly efficient, reliable, centralized and secure storage solution."

 

Michio Fujii, CEO and President, MIC Assosciates, Inc.

metaLANServer

Multi-point gateway server technology at a great price


metaLAN Server is a cost-effective version of Tiger Technology's flagship metaSAN software, designed specifically to be used in conjonction with metaLAN clients. As such, metaLAN Server is ideally suited for environments looking at leveraging low cost Gigabit Ethernet, but requiring advanced connectivity features.

Any number of metaLAN clients can connect to a single metaLAN Server, or a cluster of servers. A single server can be used as an alternative to a conventional NAS appliance while multiple servers can easily participate in a SAN cluster. A cluster offers the added benefits of virtualizing the shared storage thereby eliminating hotspots and I/O bottlenecks in addition to aggregating the total bandwidth of the individual servers for increased LAN performances. Please refer to metaLAN client software for additional information.

Requires professional integration. Contact us today to find out how you can benefit from Tiger Technology.

Notes:

  1. metaLAN Server and metaSAN or metaSAN iSCSI licenses cannot be mixed in the same SAN. metaSAN offers all the same functionality and should be used whenever a combination of features is required.
  2. Unlike metaSAN and metaSAN iSCSI that can participate in a SAN as either client or server workstations, metaLAN Server can only participate in a cluster as a gateway for metaLAN clients. Because only the "master" server has direct access to the SAN storage, metaSAN licenses should be used instead when such access is required (ex: for backup purposes).
