Now available for immediate download as a free trial
St. Louis, Missouri, April 10, 2010 – Studio Network Solutions (SNS), a premier provider of post-production storage products for video and audio workgroups, today announced immediate availability of SANmp version 3.1 SAN sharing software, bringing many new features as well as the ability to download and try it free on an unlimited number of computers.
SANmp SAN sharing software allows multiple users to access the files on a Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN, enabling everyone to capture, share and edit directly onto a storage system in real-time — improving collaboration and eliminating wasted time copying files.
“We encourage anyone with a Fibre Channel or iSCSI system to download and try SANmp,” stated Gary Holladay, President of Studio Network Solutions. “If you’ve just bought storage and haven’t decided how you’ll share it, this is the perfect opportunity to install SANmp on all of your computers and give it a thorough trial. It’s extremely reliable, easy to setup and very, very fast.”
SANmp offers the benefits of safely sharing all of the storage on a SAN, but without the administrative complexities of clustered file systems. SANmp works at the volume level with native file systems such as HFS+ and NTFS and doesn’t need any metadata network or special servers. It is easily deployed and can be used with anywhere from two to hundreds of users. Customers include NBC Universal, Volvo, ITV, Ubisoft, Technicolor, Blackbird Studios and thousands more.
SANmp is compatible with Final Cut Pro, Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro, Pro Tools, Smoke, and most similar applications for Mac and Windows. It is also compatible with most popular storage arrays, Fibre Channel HBAs, as well as the free SNS globalSAN and Microsoft iSCSI initiators.
