Russian Stream LLC Adopts Infortrend’s EonStor DS S torage S ystems to Meet Growing Storage Demand

TAIPEI, Taiwan, October 16th, 2012–Russian Stream LLC (Stream.ru), a multimedia streaming platform which provides streaming multimedia content to smart TVs, smart phones and computers in Russia, adopts Infortrend’s EonStor DS storage solutions to establish a reliable storage system. EonStor DS solutions deliver the needed performance, robust data protection and scalability to meet Stream LLC’s future expansion plans.

Stream LLC started its operation and built its first data center at Moscow in 2011. The platform provided around 7000 movies and TV series from many major entertainment companies like Universal Pictures, Walt Disney, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures Entertainment, Bazelevs, Central Partnership, etc. The portal was visited each month by 1.5 million visitors and as their business expanded day by day, a growing amount of multimedia content had to be stored and processed. The original storage solution used by Stream LLC was no longer able to meet their demand for higher performance and storage capacity. They requested a storage system being capable to store more than 200 TB data, provide seamless multimedia content streaming, being highly scalable and having a robust data protection.

Besides high performance, Stream LLC demanded high scalability; sophisticated Linux based server support, local technical support and inexpensive price per 1 TB. After investigating all 3 suppliers for their capabilities and solutions, Stream LLC finally decided to use Infortrend’s EonStor DS storage subsystems. “We finally decided to use Infortrend’s EonStor DS storage subsystems because the systems are fully compliant to our stated objectives. The systems show a great performance. They are highly scalable and ease to deploy. We have experienced local technical support here in Russia. The overall package offered by Infortrend meets our price per 1 TB demand and delivers a low TCA (Total Cost of Acquisition).” said Shalyto Inna, the CEO of Stream LLC.

EonStor DS storage subsystems are Infortrend’s SAN and DAS solutions, offering high performance, comprehensive data protection, highest data availability, easy and intuitive management and exceptional price-performance. Besides, EonStor DS supports dynamic scaling. The storage subsystems can be expanded to more than two hundred drives to meet the proliferation of storage growth. The “scale as you grow” flexibility of the EonStor DS storage solution minimizes upfront investments and provides the best overall TCA.

Infortrend EonStor DS storage solution features and benefits include:

• High performance storage subsystem that meets HD media content storage and streaming.

• Robust data protection, which combines latest software and hardware technologies, grants error free data.
