My Kaleidescape System does not have enough available storage. What are my options?

When your Kaleidescape system is running low on storage, the following options are available as an alternative to deleting content.

Strato System

Adding movie capacity to a Strato system is easily done by adding Terra Prime movie servers. Terra Prime servers are available in two physical sizes, a compact 1RU half-width model, and a 2RU full-width model. Many capacities are available, with the largest Terra Prime servers providing the best value. We recommend a maximum of four servers (of all types — Alto with storage, Strato with Storage, Terra, and Terra Prime) per system to ensure smooth and responsive system performance.

If you have an Alto, an original Strato with storage, or a Strato S, you can add one additional Strato S movie player or up to three Terra movie servers to increase movie capacity.

The additional movie capacity per storage add-on size is shown below.¹ This assumes a typical mix of movie qualities have been downloaded. Customers downloading predominantly 4K HDR content should expect to be on the lower side of these ranges.

For more information, download the Strato S, Terra Prime or Terra Prime SSD datasheets.

Premiere System

If your Premiere server is running low on storage space, check to see if you have blank disk cartridges in the chassis. If so, additional disk cartridges can be purchased to expand the capacity of the system. If none of your disk cartridges are blanks, contact your dealer about replacing your current server with a larger capacity one, or purchasing an additional server. We recommend a maximum of four servers (of all types) per system to ensure smooth and responsive system performance.

You can also add a Strato system to your Premiere system using a Co-Star. Adding a Terra Prime server and one or more Strato C movie players would give you maximum storage space while optimizing system performance. With a Strato system, you will enjoy an upgraded interface, an increase in performance, and you will have onscreen access to the world’s largest 4K movie store. Contact your dealer to discuss adding a Strato system to your Premiere system.
