SymplySPARK, is available in compact 4 Bay or 8 Bay desktop formats, with capacities up to 96TB and 192TB respectively. SPARK is designed to ignite your creativity by delivering consistently high throughput and low latency with plug-and-play convenience so you can do what you do best and not worry about managing your storage. SPARK is ideal for media workflows in post-production, on-set, VFX, graphics, delivery, and in-house creative.
As a key component of the Symply product family, SPARK is equally at home in an office, studio, machine room, or on-set. When designing the SPARK, we worked with some of the top developers and manufacturers around and worked with media industry professionals to add the features and capabilities media professionals require. From simple things such as making the system more compact and lighter than other systems on the market using high-quality metal, alloys and composites and adding a carry handle, to optimizing it for the new generation of multi-actuator hard drives that deliver SSD-like performance at a fraction the cost. For more information on Spark with multi-actuator hard drives, check out the SPARK XT.
In summary, the SPARK was made with content creators in mind.
Field Serviceable
We also know how important deadlines are – time is money, and nothing is worse than missing a deadline due to equipment failure. Beyond hard drive hot swap-ability, the SPARK allows fast replacement of fans and power supplies. No need to send the system back with your valuable content on it or wait for an exchange system to arrive. The optional SymplySAM (self-assisted maintenance kit) comes packed in its own transport case with full instructions that have you back up and running in minutes. And if you ever need it, professional Symply support is just an email or phone call away.
