With the recent introduction of the LTO-6 open-standards platform by the LTO Consortium, each LTO-6 cartridge is now capable of storing 2.5TB of content. This is a 66% increase in capacity storage over LTO-5.

Along with the Phoenix Firebird appliances, the Phoenix VCM™, Phoenix RSM™, and Phoenix Express™ family of video and data storage management software suites now support LTO-6. The Phoenix Firebird video asset management appliance and Phoenix VCM software will be on display at this year's NAB show in Las Vegas in booth SL7426 along with our OEM partner Sans Digital.

Phoenix Firebird 360 model has integrated LTO-6 storage as well as 4-terabytes of hard disk storage. Using SoleraTec's award-winning Phoenix VCM content and storage management software, the Phoenix Firebird appliances take advantage of the built-in hard disk and integrated LTO storage to deliver online, near-line, and offline storage management for an organization's entire digital content library.

Phoenix Firebird appliance is qualified with IBM and HP's LTO-6 drives and has qualified the Phoenix VCM, Phoenix RSM, and Phoenix Express software packages with LTO-6 libraries from SpectraLogic, Quantum, Imation, and Oracle.

The Phoenix Firebird appliance is more than just a catalog indexing system. It is the only all-in-one media asset, archive, and storage management appliance with out-of-the-box support for Avid MXF and Final Cut Pro.
