HSINCHU, Taiwan, October 12, 2016 – Promise Technology, a leading rich media storage technology provider, announced it will be previewing its upcoming Thunderbolt™ 3 solutions for users on Macs and PCs, Pegasus3 and SANLink3, at Broadcast India.

India is an incredibly dynamic rich media market as it accounts for one of the largest television and movie industries in the world. Analysts predict the media and entertainment market in India will grow at a CAGR of 14% over the next several years as it is expected to reach USD 100 billion by 2025. With India posed for strong growth, 4K video is making headway, therefore, storage capacity and high-bandwidth low latency post production tools will be important, no matter whether it’s for a single editor, large post production house or broadcaster.

Promise’s demos at Broadcast India will offer previews of exciting new solutions together with its shared SAN appliance:

• Pegasus3: Pegasus3 with Thunderbolt 3 technology delivers blistering performance speeds for creative professionals creating high resolution video and rich media content. Promise’s new Pegasus3 line will be available in 4-bay, 6-bay, and 8-bay configurations.

• SANLink3: Promise will showcase the upcoming SANLink3 16G Fibre Channel interface and the SANLink3 NBASE-T Ethernet interface. The bus-powered SANLink3 T1 model interfaces with a single Thunderbolt 3 port to a single NBASE-T Ethernet port, supporting 2.5, 5 or 10Gbps speeds. The SANLink3 16G FC interfaces with two Thunderbolt 3 ports to two Fiber Channel ports, all in a compact design.
• VTrak A-Class: A-Class is a true “solution in a box” RAID storage subsystem, with an integrated metadata appliance and embedded file system for big data, along with a NAS Gateway.

“Promise has been a leader in developing cutting-edge Thunderbolt enabled devices since 2011 when we delivered some of the first peripherals to the market with Thunderbolt technology,” said HC Chang, General Manager, Promise Technology APAC (excluding China). “Now in its third generation, the Pegasus line has been the first choice for direct-attached storage for media professionals requiring reliable, fast connectivity with their workstations.”
