Vizrt NRS16-30TBSSD Remote Storage Powered by SNS 16-bay 30.4TB SSD with 4 x 10 GbE - FG-003284-R001

Product Overview

The Vizrt NRS16-30TBSSD is a 16-bay all-SSD shared storage system powered by SNS, delivering 30.4TB of solid-state capacity across four 10 GbE ports for high-performance broadcast production workflows. The all-SSD configuration provides significantly lower latency and higher IOPS compared to HDD-based NRS16 systems, making it the preferred choice for production environments requiring fast random I/O — including high-frame-rate 4K/8K workflows, multi-stream high-bitrate ingest, and responsive real-time media access. Four 10 GbE ports support simultaneous multi-user workloads at full production throughput. All NRS software tools are included for unlimited users.

Product Description

With 30.4TB of all-SSD storage and four 10 GbE ports, the NRS16-30TBSSD is engineered for broadcast and live production environments where storage latency directly impacts production performance. SSD media delivers consistent low-latency access for concurrent NDI recording, real-time editing, and playout operations across multiple users and production streams. Four 10 GbE ports provide dedicated high-throughput connections for production workstations, supporting demanding media formats without the I/O bottlenecks associated with HDD-based storage. ShareBrowser MAM enables real-time media discovery and tagging during live production, with direct TriCaster DDR send for immediate on-air playout of captured content. The Slingshot automations engine handles automated off-load to secondary HDD-based NRS or nearline storage, keeping the SSD tier available for active production media. Nomad remote editing supports proxy-based access for editors working outside the facility. Redundant power supply is standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose SSD over HDD for NRS16?

SSD configurations are recommended for production environments with high IOPS requirements, 4K/8K workflows, high-frame-rate content, or where storage latency directly affects production performance. HDD configurations offer higher capacity at lower cost per TB for standard HD and standard-bitrate workflows.

Can the NRS16-30TBSSD be expanded?

Yes. Compatible NRS SSD expansion chassis are available to increase total SSD capacity.

Can I use a tiered storage strategy with SSD and HDD NRS systems?

Yes. Slingshot automations engine can be configured to automatically off-load completed production media from the SSD NRS16 to an HDD-based NRS16 or nearline chassis, maintaining available SSD capacity for active production.

What is the actual usable capacity of 30.4TB?

30.4TB is the raw capacity figure from vendor specifications. Usable capacity after RAID configuration will vary depending on the protection level selected.
