With full Avid support for the Facilis HUB family of servers, Facilis delivers seamless project sharing, integrated FastTracker Interface, and extreme Ethernet speeds for teams upgrading to Media Composer 2026.8 Enterprise.
HUDSON, Mass., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Facilis Technology, a leading international provider of cost-effective, high-performance shared storage solutions, today announced full, optimized support for Avid® Media Composer® 2026.8 Enterprise. In addition to basic compatibility, Facilis is redefining the collaborative editing experience, ensuring that creative teams upgrading to 2026.8 have the fastest, most secure, and most deeply integrated workflow available on the market.
Facilis HUB shared storage provides fully qualified support for Avid's collaborative shared projects and bin locking, allowing multiple editors and artists to work simultaneously within the exact same project with security and data integrity.
"Our customers should feel confident they can upgrade, and with our unique technology in version 8.4, we're helping Avid workgroups enjoy massive productivity gains," said Jim McKenna, CMO at Facilis Technology. "Video editing platforms are constantly evolving, and at Facilis, our sights are set well beyond basic compatibility. By combining our advanced Multi-Socket and Multi-Link Ethernet performance, Alias Volume management, and FastTracker panel integration with Media Composer, we deliver an Avid collaboration experience that exceeds the performance of other storage networks."
Why Facilis is a Great Match for Media Composer 2026.8 Enterprise:
- Bin Locking & Project Sharing: Facilis has qualified the Media Composer 2026.8 Enterprise product to ensure flawless bin locking, project sharing, and media management that Avid users expect.
- FastTracker MAM Plug-in: Editors don't have to leave their NLE to find media for ingest and import. With the integrated FastTracker 3.8.6 panel inside Media Composer, users can search millions of indexed assets, preview clips, and import media directly into Avid bins as linked or transcoded assets with metadata and marker data on the timeline.
- High-bitrate Capability: With Facilis HUB Version 8.4, editors can utilize new Multi-Socket and Multi-Link Ethernet technologies to achieve up to 100% saturation on 10Gb, 25Gb ports over single or multiple links. This means zero dropped frames for high-res multi-cam Avid workflows, with no complex switch configuration required.
- Dynamic File System Rules: Creative teams working in Media Composer 2026.8 can protect their critical folders and files easily with the Smart Access Rules policy engine. Activate no-delete rules down to the file type level, and easily block and grant access at the folder level with no complex ACL configurations.
"We're pleased to continue working with Facilis to support collaborative Media Composer workflows and provide customers with more flexibility in how they deploy shared storage environments." - Rich Camp, Principal Product Manager, Post Production, Avid.
Facilis will showcase this fully validated, high-performance Avid Media Composer 2026.8 workflow live at NAB Show New York 2026 this October at the Javits Center.
