Storage Solutions: Archion Offers Storage Trade-In Program To Avid Unity And Lanshare Clients

Archion, the entertainment industry's largest storage solution provider to Avid storage systems, is now offering a storage Trade-In Program for Avid Unity and LANshare clients. The trade-in, which begins immediately and runs until Dec. 31, 2007, will allow clients with obsolete ZX and ZX3 chassis to receive trade-in credit toward Archion's Award Winning "Synergy HD " storage. The announcement was made by Daniel Stern, Executive Vice President, Sales, for Archion.

Regarding the new program, Mr. Stern said, "There are hundreds of Avid Unity and LANshare systems with aging ZX chassis that have no replacement or expansion options. By initiating this trade-in, we wanted our customers to know they have options to expand and enhance their Unity and LANshare systems. Synergy HD provides superior media protection at a cost that is 50% less than equivalent mirrored Avid storage. This trade-in promotion increases ROI and renews their existing technology without requiring costly and time consuming upgrades."
