JEMS chose the National Association of Broadcasters convention of
1998 to launch their new Storage Area Networking division. JEMS
harnessed the knowledge and experience gained throughout the development
of their Marquis series to integrate Storage Area Networks designed
specifically for the multimedia marketplace. Since that time, JEMS has
installed hundreds of SANs into Post-Production facilities and
Educational Institutions across the country. Companies like Boeing and
Time Warner now produce some of their best work on audio and video
editing workstations powered by JEMS FibreLynx Storage Area Networks.
A Storage Area Network is centralized storage that may be accessed by
multiple workstations simulta-neously. Allowing volume level, or in some
cases, file level sharing among all workstations and/or servers
connected to the SAN. This storage may be accessed in real time and at
speeds in excess of 100MegaBytes/s per workstation, Full Duplex.
JEMINI FibreLynx,
Fibre Channel solutions incorporate leading edge technologies to suit
the demanding requirements of sophisticated applications such as
animation, digital video, prepress and imaging environments. (More
Info on Fibre Channel) Our FibreLynx SAN solution supports transfer
rates up to 200 MB/sec and allows for multiple users to share the same
storage from up to 10 Kilometers apart. Integrating the JEMINI
Orbiter-FC or the JEMINI Jaguar as the foundation of our FibreLynx, JEMS
will design a shared storage solution that will exceed all of your
storage requirements well into the future.
