ELEMENTS, provider of innovative, high-performance media storage and server systems for post-production and broadcast, has achieved the highest ever performance metrics in the SPEC VDA benchmarks. This is a result which guarantees unprecedented performance for the company’s video storage systems. This remarkable performance is achieved using the BeeGFS file system, developed by technology R&D specialist ThinkParQ.
SPEC (Standards Performance Evaluation Corporation) is a not-for-profit body established to provide independent testing, with the goal of enabling users to make scientifically based choices on technology. It has established the video data acquisition (VDA) test, which quantifies server network performance by measuring the number of concurrent streams it can support. These are simulated, volatile video signals at around 36Mb/s per stream.
