When a company lacks a machine room and is looking for a low noise shared storage server the microDDP is a good fit. And lightweight also means that it can be hand carried and taken as hand luggage on a plane.
There are two microDDP base systems.
One has hotswappable mirror SAS SSDs and hotswappable power supplies. And the other can be equipped with a pack of 1, 2, 4 or 8TB Sata SSDs internally.
For companies involved in outside registration, where size and weight matters especially, the HSmicroDDP25GbE is a good solution.
Sata SSD8 packs are configured as RAID5 with usable capacity: 7, 14, 28 and 56 TB (total 64 TB). Instead of an SSD8 pack microDDPs can also be delivered with a SSD4 pack.
MicroDDPs are like all DDPs: Ethernet SAN systems. A DDP SAN utilizes the network most efficiently. Therefore despite the small footprint multiple users can share the highest picture quality used these days. CTOs, Technical Managers, Technicians and other interested in DDP technology please take the time also to read the technology page.

HSmicroDDP25GbE
- Hotswappable SAS SSD pair (two-pack) of 0.96, 1.92, 3.84, 7.68, 15.36 or 30.72 TB
- Two-pack is secure mirror
- 8 x 1GbE / 2x 10/25 GbE / SFP28
- 1U / 11 Lbs / 5 Kg
- 10” / 25,5 cm
- 1200 MB/s on write and read
- Hotswappable redundant power supply
- Low noise
- Hand carried
The HSmicroDDP25GbE for rental companies and broadcasters seeking a reliable robust small solution to transfer secured media (two-pack) between sites to be used immediately.
microDDP10GbE
- 4 or 8 SSDs of 1, 2, 4 or 8 TB
- RAID5
- 4x 1GbE / 2x 10GbE / RJ45
2x 10GbE / SFP+ - 1U / 11 Lbs / 5 Kg
- 9,8” / 24,9 cm
- 2200 MB/s
- 80W
- Low noise
- Hand carried
The microDDP10GbE has 4x 1GbE, 2x 10GbE / RJ45 and 2x 10GbE / SFP+ ports built-in and a bandwidth of 2200 MByte/s and runs the full DDP software package.
SSDs are small, hardly produce heat, but most importantly they behave similar to memory.
The two pictures here above are showing the microDDPseries.
On top the HSmicroDDP25GbE is shown. Because it is small, robust and holds a mirrored SSD two-pack it is the ideal partner for operations where secured media transfer is required.
Next a picture of the microDDP10GbE is shown, it has its ports on the front.
Ports can be connected to a simple 1 or 1/10GbE switch to extend the range of clients connected.
The bandwidth of the microDDP10GbE is 2,2GB/s. This bandwidth or IOPS are not influenced by video, audio or film formats used.
The microDDP can be connected to 10GbE via either 10GbE/SFP+ transceivers for fibreoptic connection and RJ45 for standard copper ethernet connection. The bandwidth of the microDDP10GbE is enough to stream 50 streams of ProResHQ/DNxHD220 or 200 streams of lower video formats such as DNxHD45 or 40 streams of Red R3D material. The ports can be connected to laptops, desktops and workstations even without the necessity of a switch.
Here is an overview of the Stream Count and Capacity in Hours for various video, film and audio formats:
| Video, Film or Audio Format Streams on Reading | Number of Streams for 10 GB/s | Hours perStream with 7 TB |
