Rack Based Facility NAS

Key Features
  • CORE.4
    Feature rich operating system full of workflow tools designed for real-world media environments. These work seamlessly in the background allowing you to do what you do best – create.
  • Scalable Performance
    The performance of SPACE can be scaled using additional SPACE EX expansion units and beyond this our unique HyperSpace accelerator can take you to 4K and beyond.
  • Capacity Expansion
    Technicians can go from Terabytes to Petabytes in seconds. Dynamic storage expansion is quick, cost-effective and non-disruptive.
  • BlueShift
    Unique technology developed by GB Labs to deliver consistent high performance through Ethernet. Using standard sharing protocols and no client side software, NAS convenience meets SAN performance.
  • Platform Agnostic
    GB Labs storage is developed for total cross platform compatibility, allowing PC, Mac and Linux platforms to collaborate and share data freely and efficiently.
  • HyperSpace Compatible
    HyperSpace’s SSDs and SPACE’s HDDs offer highly cost-effective and extreme performance. Investing in HyperSpace means you can take on projects you weren’t able to before.

  • Overview
  • Tech Specs

SPACE is the true successor to SAN, designed to be used directly across the network with an abundance of sustained reliable performance and comprehensive workflow tools.

Ideal for Film, Post-Production and Facilities.

How SPACE can help you
Content creation teams can work on files and projects together for complete creative freedom. With SPACE storage, Mac, Linux and Windows clients have simultaneous access to projects while administrators can specify users’ access rights, storage quotas and permitted bandwidth.

SPACE was designed to be easy to install, maintain and upgrade. IP connectivity means that dial-in support can address any issues remotely – anywhere in the world. Data transfers are swift using 1Gb, 10Gb or 40Gb connections, especially when moving data between tiers of GB Labs’ units where our system intelligence and workflow efficiency comes to the fore.

Performance
If you are looking to expand performance, we have three options. You can use 'SPACE EX' units collectively to enhance the system performance up to 100% more, or you can attach our 'HyperSpace' SSD accelerators to go beyond spinning disk capabilities altogether. The third option would be to make use of both of these options to create incredible performance shared storage up to 4PB capacity.

The ability to expand your storage in both capacity and performance means your storage can grow as your business grows, leaving you with the peace of mind you have a future-proof system.

Expansion
SPACE supports cost effective capacity expansion by connecting SPACE EX (16 disks) to the unit. Storage size can be increased dynamically, meaning that data can stay in place as the capacity changes.

RAID controllers will be added after a total of 6 units, this allows SPACE to utilise 17 EX chassis combined with large storage sizes up to 224TB per unit. This gives you a total expansion of 4PB from a single system.
