Apace Systems and Fujitsu 10GbE Technologies Make Collaborative Uncompressed HD Video Editing & Archive a Reality

ORANGE, Calif., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Apace Systems Corporation(R), a leading video storage manufacturer and solutions provider, and Fujitsu Computer Products of America, a world's leading supplier of computer products, announced that they are offering an end-to-end 10GbE connectivity solution for multi-platform video editing and post-production. At 2.5x speed of fastest Fibre Channel link, this is the fastest local interconnectivity. Apace Systems will be the solution provider of its 10GbE Network Attached Storage systems (NAS) and deploy the Fujitsu XG700 multi-port 10GbE switch products for post-production and media imaging customers.

We believe the solution is Apace Systems 10GbE Shared Network Storage," said Jeanclaude Toma, Apace systems Executive Vice President.

"The Fujitsu 10Gb CX-4 XG700 switch has continued to enable the deployment of 10GbE connectivity in the video marketplace," said Joel Hagberg, vice president of marketing and business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of America. "High throughput video sharing over the network is a natural fit for our technology and with the expertise of system partners such as Apace Systems, we are further enabling the reach of our technology into video editing and post-production workflows."

We appreciate the Fujitsu 10GbE switch fabric technology as a complementary piece in support of our customer base," said Dr. Lee Hu, CEO and President of Apace Systems Corporation.
