Media Storage

Storage your whole team works from at once.

Active projects on fast storage, finished work on cheaper tiers, all in one place your workstations can see instantly.

The problem

Footage shouldn't live on the drive that's currently on someone's desk.

When media is scattered across portable drives and local disks, the workflow fragments and no one is sure who has what. CloudStudio keeps every project in shared storage your team works from together, fast enough to edit straight off.

Tiers

Fast storage for active work, cheaper tiers for the rest.

Keep the projects you are cutting on hot storage that is fast enough to edit straight off, and move finished work to archive and deep tiers that cost a fraction to hold. Your media stays reachable either way.

  • Hot storage for active projects, with the performance editors expect
  • Archive tier for finished work you rarely touch but want to keep
  • Deep tier for long-term cold storage at the lowest cost per terabyte
  • Per-project storage quotas and usage you can actually see
Access

Mounted on every workstation, ready for any NLE.

Storage shows up on your cloud workstations as a normal drive, so your team opens projects the way they always have. It works with the editorial, color, and audio tools you already run.

  • Shows up as a standard mounted drive on each workstation
  • Works with any NLE or grading app, no special plugins
  • Everyone on a project sees the same files, all the time
  • Connect storage to the right projects and people
LTO Shipping

An off-ramp from the cloud, whenever you want one.

Other clouds lock your media in and charge painful fees to get it back. CloudStudio writes physical LTO tapes straight from your archive and ships them to you, so your footage is always yours to walk away with.

  • Physical LTO tapes written directly from your archive
  • Shipped to your facility, ready to put on the shelf
  • No lock-in and no surprise fees to leave
  • Keep a local copy alongside the cloud, or take it all
Scale

Built to hold real production volumes.

Series, features, and commercial work add up to terabytes fast. CloudStudio runs on file storage built to scale into the petabytes, so you add capacity without rethinking your workflow.

  • File storage that scales from terabytes into petabytes
  • Add capacity as projects grow, without migrations
  • Usage analytics per project and per tier
  • Share a storage pool with another organization when you collaborate

CloudStudio runs on file storage built to scale from terabytes into the petabytes, so you can add capacity as a project grows without migrating anything.
