Product Overview
The Dolby IMS3000 NAS upgrade is a 1RU rack-mount NAS that adds RAID 5 main-storage capacity to an existing Dolby IMS3000 integrated media server. This IMS3000 storage upgrade uses a four-drive 3.5-inch 4TB HDD configuration for approximately 10.5 TB of usable storage and enables offline ingest. It is the right path for sites that already own an IMS3000 and need a digital cinema server storage expansion. Specify this 1RU cinema NAS to grow capacity without replacing the server.
Product Description
This is a 1RU rack-mount NAS upgrade engineered for the Dolby IMS3000 platform; it does not include the server itself. The NAS adds RAID 5 main-storage capacity in a four-drive 3.5-inch 4TB HDD configuration that provides approximately 10.5 TB of usable user storage when used as the server's main storage. As a RAID 5 cinema storage upgrade, it provides single-drive fault tolerance so playback continues if one HDD fails. With the NAS acting as main storage, the IMS3000 internal drives are not used, and the NAS can ingest content while the IMS3000 is powered off for true offline ingest. The unit installs in a single rack unit, keeping equipment-room density tight. This accessory is intended for an existing IMS3000 server that needs more capacity or a separate ingest path. For the complete configured equivalent, see the IMS3000 4x4TB NAS (10.5TB) configuration. To add the underlying server, see the base IMS3000 server, or browse the drives and storage collection.
Key Features
- 1RU Rack-Mount NAS — The upgrade installs in a single rack unit alongside the IMS3000 for efficient equipment-room density.
- 10.5 TB Usable Capacity — A four-drive 3.5-inch 4TB HDD RAID 5 configuration provides approximately 10.5 TB of usable user storage as main storage.
- RAID 5 Redundancy — RAID 5 delivers single-drive fault tolerance so playback continues if one HDD fails.
- Offline Ingest — The NAS can ingest content while the IMS3000 is powered off, separating ingest from the playback server.
- Capacity Expansion — The upgrade grows storage on an existing IMS3000 without replacing the media server.
- Server-Matched Design — The NAS is purpose-built for the Dolby IMS3000 platform as a main-storage option.
Typical Applications
- Digital cinema auditoriums expanding storage on an installed IMS3000.
- Multi-screen cinema complexes standardizing on a separate ingest path.
- Premium large-format auditoriums needing larger on-server content libraries.
- Screening rooms and post-production or broadcast studios adding offline ingest.
