The development of image digitization techniques along with the advent of reliable, high-capacity DVD has revolutionized the media world - opening new possibilities for both film production and home users. Taking this philosophy one a leap forwards, we used our SANity DB storage systems technology as the foundations of the new SANity AVA (Audio Video Archive) Systems. We bring you a very large capacity near-line storage system. This cost-efficient DVD based system allows you to store, categorize, and search though thousands of hours of audio/video media, all the while allowing you to retrieve any data at a moments notice.
