The EVO 16 Bay Shared Media Storage Server is a high-performance, 3U storage solution designed for demanding media workflows. It supports up to 16 SATA or SAS drives in its base configuration and can scale up to 1.8PB per node with expansion units. With built-in dual 10GbE ports and options to add 10/25/100Gb Ethernet, it delivers exceptional speed and connectivity. A fully configured system supports up to 80 disks and 26 clients—without requiring an Ethernet switch. It runs on a robust EVO OS and includes unlimited licenses for ShareBrowser, Nomad, and Slingshot, making it ideal for collaborative media environments.
