Symply, a leader in media-centric storage solutions, today launched WORKSPACE XE and PERIFERY for content creators and facilities working within the media and entertainment sectors.

WORKSPACE XE

WORKSPACE XE is the NAS you’ve always needed: a new all-in-one portable desktop collaborative storage appliance that provides the ease of ethernet/network connectivity and offers the block-level performance provided by a SAN. Featuring a compact, rugged, metal-alloy design and offering comprehensive field serviceability, WORKSPACE XE is equally at home on set or in a studio and can provide superior aggregate performance. Built with dual 25GbE/10GbE and four GbE ports as standard additional 10GbE and 25GbE ports can be added, enabling users to direct connect numerous clients without the need or cost for network switches in smaller workgroups. Storage configurations are also versatile with all-HDD, all-NVMe or Hybrid options on offer.

Providing much more than just efficient and powerful collaborative storage built for the demands of modern workflows and imperative deadlines, WORKSPACE XE also provides advanced user and project management and natively supports Avid workflows. Furthermore, seamless integration with SymplyNEBULA and other public cloud services allows WORKSPACE XE to effortlessly scale capacity into the cloud.

WORKSPACE XE pricing will start from $/€ 9,995 MSRP and begin shipping late 2022
