HUDSON, Mass., April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Facilis, a leading international supplier of cost-effective, high performance shared storage solutions for collaborative media production networks, announces new asset management features, shown alongside their successful Smart Access Rules for creative workflows. The company will be demonstrating these new offerings at NAB Show 2023 in Las Vegas, NV April 16-19, 2023 North Hall & Central Lobby Booth #N2138.
"Facilis is pleased to be back at NAB Show to connect with our customers and partners. We will be showcasing our shared storage solutions for content creators in the Digital Media & Entertainment market featuring new cutting-edge technologies that shape the future of on premise and remote workflows", said Shane Rodbourn, Chief Operating Officer at Facilis Technology. "Based on early indicators, we expect strong attendance at this year's show; there is a strong demand for the best of breed tools that allow for collaboration, and cost-efficiency,"
Facilis HUB has many new hardware and software enhancements that include:
- New Facilis Flashpoint 48S server – this high-performance 48 bay 4U SSD Flash based server can deliver over 10GB/sec (10,000MB/sec) of aggregate throughput to creative workstations to power the most demanding media workflows
- Support for 64Gb Fibre Channel – Facilis has added support for the new ATTO Celerity™ 64Gb Gen 7 PCIe 4.0 Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) enabling extreme performance for attached workstations to address the growing need for real-time 8K video editing.
- New, higher capacity storage options - With the latest 22TB Enterprise drives, Facilis offers over a half a Petabyte in a 4U enclosure.
- SMB Utility share - This feature will offer users an easy configuration for accessing Facilis virtual file systems over SMB securely for administrative tasks such as backup and archive.
- Facilis Object Cloud – Support for Seagate Lyve Cloud and AWS/Azure archive tiers; Real time "Active Files" progress display; New LTO Delivery mode for data transport via tape.
Facilis FastTracker – Facilis will show version 3.8 which offers many new features including Auto-tagging with AI Object Recognition, Adobe Captions import of transcription data, file ingest workflow from client workstations, and metadata-based cataloging and proxy generation.
Facilis WANLink Remote Access Client – Facilis will show the latest version of their revolutionary remote workflow feature based on the Facilis Shared File System. Facilis WANLink Client provides a secure, remote link to Facilis storage through the same Facilis Console software used in the facility. WANLink Client can provide secure storage access without latency and complexity of VPN and is available at no additional cost.
Smart Access Rules – HUB version 8.2.4 builds upon earlier versions with new enhancements. Facilis Smart Access Rules are a graphical interface that allows administrators to add custom policies to volume resources, to provide or deny access for users or groups. Specific paths, folders and file names can be assigned access rules based on user and group. Different than traditional access control lists, this enables:
- Access rules on specific file types to protect critical assets
- Create-only feature secures data after written to general ingest locations
- No-delete options while maintaining project saves and overwrites
- Full auditing of file system activity down to the user account and workstation IP address
"We're happy to follow up all our recent advancements in the Facilis Shared File System with new asset management innovations in FastTracker." said Jim McKenna, Chief Marketing Officer at Facilis Technology. "Again, we show that Facilis is continuing to respond to our customers' requests for advanced workflow features, within the field-tested and feature-rich HUB architecture."
