Vizrt NRS16-224TB NRS16 SNS 16-bay / 224TB with 4 x 10 GbE - FG-003287-R001

Product Overview

The Vizrt NRS16-224TB is a 16-bay, 224TB shared storage system powered by SNS — the highest-capacity standard NRS16 configuration available — delivering maximum storage density for large broadcast and live production environments running on four 10 GbE ports. Designed for organizations with demanding media volume requirements, the NRS16-224TB provides the most storage in a single NRS16 chassis without requiring expansion units. All SNS workflow tools including ShareBrowser MAM, Slingshot automations, and Nomad remote editing are included for unlimited users.

Product Description

At 224TB, the NRS16-224TB is the top-capacity NRS16 primary system, suited to broadcast networks, major sports production operations, and multi-channel media facilities where media accumulation rate makes lower-capacity configurations insufficient for sustained production cycles. Four 10 GbE ports provide dedicated throughput for multiple simultaneous users running NDI capture, editing, and media playout. ShareBrowser MAM scales to large archives with AI-assisted tagging, proxy thumbnails, and custom metadata fields, ensuring production teams can rapidly locate and retrieve content across the full 224TB library. Slingshot automations manage off-load to nearline or cloud platforms, preventing the primary production tier from reaching capacity during continuous operations. The NRS16-224TB still supports additional NRS16 expansion chassis if further capacity is needed in the future. Redundant power supply is standard.

Key Features

• 224TB Maximum Capacity — Highest-capacity standard NRS16 configuration for maximum media storage in a single chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 224TB the maximum available in a single NRS16 chassis?

Yes. The NRS16-224TB is the highest-capacity single-chassis NRS16 configuration. For capacity beyond 224TB, NRS16 expansion chassis can be added.

What type of storage drives are used in the NRS16-224TB?

The NRS16-224TB uses high-density HDD (SATA/SAS) drives. For SSD configurations at lower capacity, refer to the NRS16-30TBSSD and NRS16-120TBSSD.

Can the system handle multiple simultaneous 4K streams?

The 4 x 10 GbE configuration supports high-bitrate concurrent workflows. The suitability for specific concurrent 4K stream counts depends on individual bitrate and RAID configuration. Contact Vizrt or a reseller for workload-specific sizing guidance.
