"Not even Hollywood and the news media are able to escape the cries for more affordable, more high-powered storage solutions that are capable of handling large file sizes and rich media," said Diamond Lauffin, Nexsan senior executive vice president. "The InfiniSAN ATAboy series was engineered for these extremely demanding environments.
