Rectron supplies the enterprise-grade mechanical hard drives and high-speed NVMe solid-state storage that populate server racks across the country. By providing direct access to top-tier storage brands with dedicated local warranties, they ensure your IT department always has the replacement drives and expansion capacity needed to keep your archives growing safely without interruption.

OWC (Other World Computing)

Video editors working with uncompressed 4K or 8K footage cannot afford dropped frames caused by slow hard drives. OWC builds hardware dedicated entirely to the exacting needs of creative professionals. Their massive Thunderbolt RAID enclosures provide the extreme read and write speeds required to scrub through heavy video timelines seamlessly. Built for constant, high-intensity duty cycles, OWC drives are the trusted workhorses sitting on the desks of top-tier video editors and colourists worldwide.

Esquire

Building a modern digital newsroom requires more than just cameras and microphones; it requires an immense backbone of IT infrastructure. Esquire supplies the critical server chassis, networking cables, and high-capacity storage drives needed to construct custom data centres from the ground up. Their massive local inventory allows broadcast engineers to source all the supporting technical components required to build, maintain, and scale media networks rapidly within South Africa.

Blackbird

Traditional broadcasting requires moving terabytes of heavy video files across physical hard drives. Blackbird completely changes this workflow by moving the edit bay directly into the cloud. Their proprietary codec allows editors to view, edit, and publish high-definition video instantly through a standard web browser, without downloading heavy files to local storage. This reduces the reliance on physical RAID arrays on-site and allows production teams to collaborate securely from anywhere globally.

Mustek

National television networks operate at a scale where standard hard drives simply are not enough. Mustek supplies the enterprise-level server architecture and massive Storage Area Network (SAN) hardware required to house millions of hours of digital content. By partnering with the biggest names in global computing, they deliver the heavy-duty infrastructure required to support automated playout servers, deep digital archiving, and continuous video-on-demand services perfectly.

Duxbury Networking

Having incredibly fast RAID storage is useless if the network connecting it to the edit bay is slow. Duxbury Networking provides the enterprise-grade switches, fibre channel hardware, and network routers required to build high-bandwidth media pipelines. Their technology ensures that when an editor pulls a heavy 4K video file from the central server room, it transfers to their workstation instantly without bottlenecking the rest of the studio network.

Symply

Video production requires storage that can handle immense bandwidth without dropping frames or stalling the timeline. Symply engineers incredibly fast Thunderbolt RAID enclosures and highly secure LTO tape archive drives designed explicitly for creative workflows. Their hardware ensures that whether your team is colour grading heavy 8K cinema files in the edit suite or archiving petabytes of broadcast history for permanent safekeeping, your data moves with absolute speed and total security.

Acasis

When shooting a documentary or a live event on location, offloading massive video files quickly is critical. Acasis produces extremely fast NVMe SSD enclosures and Thunderbolt hubs that allow camera operators and field editors to secure their raw footage instantly. Their compact, highly durable metal chassis act as a thermal heatsink, ensuring your drives maintain maximum transfer speeds without overheating, even during massive data dumps in harsh outdoor environments.

Pinnacle Micro

Building a national broadcasting network requires an immense foundation of IT infrastructure. Pinnacle supplies the enterprise-grade servers, heavy-duty Network Attached Storage (NAS) drives, and data centre components necessary to construct secure, high-capacity media networks. By distributing the world’s leading technology brands, they provide local broadcast engineers with the exact hardware needed to build flawless, high-availability storage environments right here in South Africa.

Kingway

Consumer-grade hard drives fail rapidly under the intense pressure of continuous broadcast playout servers. Kingway specialises in high-endurance solid-state storage and memory modules designed specifically for constant, heavy-duty enterprise use. Their drives provide the incredible longevity and sustained read and write speeds necessary to keep automated television channels running perfectly 24 hours a day, entirely eliminating the fear of sudden mechanical failure.

HighPoint Technologies

Pushing uncompressed 8K video files across a network requires storage architecture that operates at frightening speeds. HighPoint Technologies engineers the insanely fast NVMe RAID controllers and host bus adapters that make this possible. Their dedicated processor cards sit inside your high-end editing workstations and servers, managing the massive data traffic with absolute precision. By completely eliminating storage bottlenecks, they allow your colourists and video editors to scrub through gigantic media timelines instantly, without a single dropped frame or moment of lag.

DIY Electronics

Sometimes off-the-shelf hardware simply does not fit a highly specific broadcast requirement. DIY Electronics is an absolute playground for IT engineers who build and maintain custom storage solutions. They supply the vital internal components, extreme-performance cooling systems, and micro-controllers needed to keep massive server arrays running efficiently under heavy loads. Whether you need to replace a failing fan in a critical RAID enclosure or build a custom temperature monitoring system for your datacentre, their massive local inventory ensures you have the exact parts required to prevent a thermal disaster.

Areca

In high-end broadcast and video production, data loss is catastrophic. Areca manufactures elite RAID controllers and massive storage enclosures designed to protect your entire media archive. Their enterprise-grade hardware ensures rapid data transfer rates for real-time 4K and 8K video editing, while providing absolute redundancy. By integrating Areca’s storage architecture into your server racks, your facility can safely store, manage, and retrieve immense broadcast assets without the risk of data corruption or dropped frames.
