Providing user access to cloud object storage via an SMB share and a standard web interface, the Z20 Cloud Media Appliance from XenData is a 1U rack-mount appliance with four 1GbE network ports and options for additional 10 and 25GbE connectivity.
Allowing files to be written to and restored from the cloud over a local on-prem network, the Z20 supports a range of public clouds including AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Seagate Lyve, and Wasabi. It also provides management of object storage tiers within AWS and Azure, with the ability to change the storage tier for a selected file. Media file previews enable users to check that they are rehydrating the correct media files from lower-cost Glacier and Azure Archive tiers before incurring rehydration and egress fees.
The Z20 runs Windows 11 Pro and is fully compliant with the Microsoft security model, making it easy to add to an existing Domain or Workgroup. The web interface is multi-tenant, which allows different user groups to access different content, with each tenant having its own administrator.
