Selected GVS engagements
GVS systems were developed around actual capture, storage, processing and support requirements. These examples show how that approach moved from publishing and broadcast into aerospace, defense, medicine, research and modern data infrastructure.
Across technology cycles, GVS combined hardware, software, storage fabrics and direct engineering support so customers could operate locally, maintain their own content and avoid unnecessary dependence on proprietary infrastructure.
01 · Case studies
GVS integrated the GVS9000 2XU with Toshiba’s IK-HR1S 3CCD high-definition camera. The system combined single-channel video, Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet to capture uncompressed 1080p at 60 frames per second while providing playback in compressed and uncompressed formats.
Direct link ↗GVS supplied multiple real-time capture and Nomadic storage solutions, including a shipboard test application off Hawaii. Systems were designed for multi-channel acquisition, local storage and mobile review without locking the customer into a closed proprietary maintenance model.
Direct link ↗A complete turnkey platform combined high mobility, real-time capture to Nomadic storage over fibre optics and specialized cooling for continuous operation in a demanding physical environment.
Direct link ↗GVS engineered and integrated specialized capture, recording and Nomadic storage platforms around program requirements. Sensitive implementation details remain confidential, while the systems-level work reflects GVS experience across acquisition, storage and lifecycle support.
Direct link ↗A specialized GVS9000 2XU configuration was delivered for an Australian defense science application. Program details remain confidential.
Direct link ↗02 · Case studies
GVS developed hardware and software for a sequencing workflow spanning instrument capture, data analysis and local storage—an early example of treating the complete scientific data path as one system.
Direct link ↗A high-speed 3D microscope wrote directly to Nomadic SAN storage in the laboratory, supporting sustained acquisition without routing the primary data path through general-purpose network storage.
Direct link ↗GVS designed a system to capture, retain and make research data readily accessible across a multi-lab environment, balancing sustained ingest with practical local access.
Direct link ↗03 · Case studies
A custom GVS9000 1U and approximately 0.5 PB of Nomadic raw storage supported camera-to-disk capture, editing and playback. The installation operated for more than ten years as a continuously useful production asset.
Direct link ↗Nomadic storage and the GVS9000 2XU formed an integrated disk-based recording environment for direct audio and video acquisition.
Direct link ↗GVS developed a custom workflow to capture uncompressed RAW video and analyze the quality relationship between compressed and uncompressed material.
Direct link ↗GVS9000, Nomadic storage and custom GVSAN environments supported camera-to-disk training, real-time audio/video work and large numbers of concurrent production users. Toybox received complete turnkey integration and continuing 24/7 support.
Direct link ↗Multiple Nomadic systems protected a massive body of content for more than a decade without data loss, demonstrating the value of serviceable local infrastructure and sustained engineering support.
Direct link ↗04 · Case studies
Williams-Sonoma catalog production used GVS Metropolis servers running Solaris with Nomadic storage. The GVS environment interoperated within a facility otherwise centered on IBM RS/6000 systems, providing the production workflow required for catalog creation.
Direct link ↗GVS developed an early removable hot-swap drive workflow that moved high-resolution scans from Linotype drum scanners to desktop Macintosh systems for direct editing. Initial 500 MB media cost approximately $5,000—about $10 per megabyte—and supported the required scanner and Macintosh formats.
Direct link ↗A GVS asset-management solution was selected to support a real-world, real-time image workflow where rapid access, organization and distribution were essential.
