Bluefish444 Europe to Bundle Ciprico's MediaVault Fibr Channel Products (26/1/2006)

Bluefish444 Europe today announced it will bundle the Ciprico MediaVault range of 4G Fibre Channel storage products with Bluefish444 and Digital Voodoo videographics cards, as well as its forthcoming turnkey solutions, for the European market.

The two companies, leaders in their respective fields, have worked closely together to ensure compatibility and optimize the performance of these offerings when used for real time multi layer editing in Premier Pro, and as part of an uncompressed HD SDI 10 bit RGB DPX DI workflow. European customers will now be able to buy these products bundled together, safe in the knowledge that the products will reliably work together. They will also be in a position to offer more options than ever before to their customers as the Ciprico MediaVault Fibre channel products have also been certified by a number of Bluefish444 partners.

Garry Davis, Director, Bluefish444 Europe, states, "We're pleased to team with Ciprico to offer a bundled solution. In our experience Fibre Channel storage tends to lead to a more responsive system than one based on SCSI and this is most noticeable when scrubbing up and down the timeline of Premiere Pro. The Ciprico products offer great performance, reliability and value. This is particularly true when you consider that these Fibre Channel arrays could be used as part of a shared storage solution tomorrow whereas SCSI based storage can only ever be practically used as direct connect storage. Ciprico Fibre Channel products combined with ours will certainly benefit our customers."

James Hansen, Chief Executive Officer of Ciprico said, "We have worked closely with the Bluefish team to develop a solution that delivers the performance and reliability that customers expect. Bluefish is one of the leading providers of video content creation workflow tools in the industry and this new bundle again puts Bluefish at the leading edge of technology that drives the customer to an accelerated workflow of demanding applications at an attractive price point. We are proud to be associated with an industry leader like Bluefish."
