The highest levels of production demand the highest level of safety

With over 85 years of experience, Rohde & Schwarz is a global leader in shaping the future of communications and information security. Data security is at the heart of our business, and we take it seriously.

The reality is that data loss is a worst-case scenario nobody wants to face. For professionals working within media production, threats to data security are heightened and a real concern of daily business - media sits within the top five highest risk industries.

We know that downtime of any kind translates to delayed projects and customer deliverables, strains on resources, risk of brand reputation, and much more. With its advanced data protection mechanisms, SpycerNode2 guarantees data integrity and high availability at all times, along with superior performance.

High availability and data security

  • No single point of failure – our erasure coding data protection mechanisms make ultra-fast rebuilds on raid sets, keep your content secure.
  • Prevent failures ahead of time - the integrated disk hospital performs automated health checks to detect faulty disks ahead of time.
  • Never lose your work – redundant raid controllers and redundant power supplies mean no single point of failover due to loss of power.
  • 100% uptime with VSA (virtual storage access) – unique to Rohde & Schwarz, VSA prevents any interruption of running media transfers, file encoding and file decoding processes during playout or ingest.
  • Rights and user permissions with directory access – data security leveled up, protect the access to your content both internally and externally.
  • Metro cluster redundancy – regardless of VSA, built-in Metro Cluster technology means high availability allowing communication with storage resources to continue after loss of vital system components.
