GVS-Grande Vitesse Systems Inc. is showcasing a powerful new solution for the growing HD market with its GVS9000 4XU family, a streamlined open-architecture compact SAN storage delivering the data rates that are required for the most intensive uncompressed video applications in todayÕs market place.

Users are able to plug and play without spending hours on configuration and ensuring application and storage compatibility.

"This is an important development for users who want a high density rugged rack for their HD and SD video applications, but were--up until now--limited to the alternatives offered by the dominant manufacturers," said Jano Avanessian, GVS Vice President of Sales and Marketing. GVS9000 4XU is the first compact HD editing product that users can move anywhere in the field for complete HD I/O support.
