DDP HA – True High Availability for Broadcast & Media

Always On. Always Fast. Always Reliable.
DDP HA is built for television, broadcast, and post-production environments where downtime is not an option.
Powered by the proprietary Audio/Video File System (A/V FS), DDP HA delivers continuous availability and high-performance shared storage across Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Performance Redefined for Media Production

DDP combines SAN performance with standard Ethernet connectivity, providing high-speed shared access for demanding broadcast, post-production and media workflows.

NVMe, SSD and HDD can coexist within one DDP environment and one namespace, allowing different projects and workloads to use the storage tier that best matches their performance and capacity requirements.

A/V FS Project Caching can automatically or manually cache selected projects on NVMe or SSD while retaining the capacity and economics of HDD storage — transparently to users and applications.

Highlights
Cross-Platform A/V FS – High-speed shared storage for Mac, Windows and Linux.
Ethernet SAN – High-performance SAN connectivity over standard Ethernet.
Project Caching – Per-project NVMe/SSD caching with automatic or manual control.
One Namespace – NVMe, SSD and HDD available within one DDP environment.
Unlimited SAN Client Licenses – No per-client licensing fees.
High-Density Design – Less rack space and lower power requirements.

True Active/Active Architecture

Many high-availability storage systems rely on an Active/Passive architecture, where a standby controller takes over only after the active controller becomes unavailable.

DDP HA is different. Both controllers are active, providing continuous access to the same DDP storage environment and namespace.

Designed for Continuous Operation

Dual Active/Active DDP controllers
Continuous shared-storage access
One namespace across NVMe, SSD and HDD
Non-disruptive storage expansion
File-based SSD caching through A/V FS
Mac, Windows and Linux support
Independent scaling of capacity and bandwidth

Built for Continuous Media Operations

From live broadcast and playout to UHD/8K post-production, DDP HA is designed for sustained throughput, continuous availability and non-disruptive growth.

A/V FS provides a single namespace, file-based SSD caching, access permissions and transparent failover, while Mac, Windows and Linux workstations access shared media storage directly.

Unlimited SAN client licenses. Lifetime email and chat support. No per-client fees.
