Introducing the Short Depth EVO 8 Bay

New at NAB! The EVO 8 Bay is available in a 4RU compact form factor for facilities with big requirements and small spaces.

Just because you’re working in tight quarters doesn’t mean you have to work with limited storage!

You can now get up to 64TB of raw capacity, up to 24 ports of GbE, built-in data verification tools, and asset management — all in one short-depth 4U platform.

The new short-depth EVO 8 Bay has a compact 18″ deep 4RU chassis, engineered to fit massive storage capacity, connectivity, and performance into tight spaces and short-depth server racks — which makes it perfect for on location work, DIT stations, and mobile trucks.

Your production team generates a ton of data. You’re frequently working in different formats, working on location, in smaller office spaces, and you need storage that’s as collaborative and flexible as you are. Visit us at NAB to see why this new EVO is for you.

The new 8 bay form factor allows you to connect up to 24 users directly to the back of an EVO, with no Ethernet switch required. Producers, AEs, editors, and supervisors can all be connected to EVO to approve cuts, log footage, tag uploaded media, and edit concurrently. That means no more needless copying, and no more shuttling drives back and forth… just log on to any connected workstation and start working.
