HUB Version 8.4 unleashes new Ethernet performance technology, cloud SSO security, and seamless MAM integration for Avid Media Composer users.
HUDSON, Mass., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Facilis Technology, a leading international provider of cost-effective, high-performance shared storage solutions for collaborative media production networks, is heading to NAB Show New York 2026 to showcase game-changing workflow advancements. Highlighting the booth will be Facilis HUB Version 8.4, FastTracker 3.8.6, and expanded support for Avid® Media Composer® 2026.8.
Media professionals and post-production teams attending NAB NY 2026 are invited to experience live demonstrations of these high-velocity innovations at the Javits Center in New York City.
Supercharged Ethernet Performance: Max Out Your Network Speeds
Facilis HUB Version 8.4 shatters traditional networking bottlenecks with groundbreaking Multi-Socket and Multi-Link technologies embedded directly into the Shared File System client.
- Multi-Socket Technology: Pushes 10Gb and 25Gb workstation connections to 100% full saturation on a single port—with zero switch configuration or hardware tweaks required. Mac, Windows, and Linux workstations can now maintain maximum speeds, eliminating the frustrating speed drops and performance spikes typical of standard SMB shares.
- Multi-Link Technology: Combines two physical Ethernet links into a single, high-bandwidth pipe without LACP or port teaming. Creative facilities can double client throughput by simply connecting a second Ethernet cable to their existing workstations.
Seamless Support for Avid® Media Composer® 2026.8
Designed to keep creative flow uninterrupted, Facilis HUB 8.4 and FastTracker 3.8.6 offer tight, optimized integration with the newly released Avid Media Composer 2026.8.
With the dedicated FastTracker Panel for Media Composer, editors can now search their entire global database of shared storage assets directly from within their Avid Media Composer environment. Assets can be imported instantly as linked or transcoded media straight into Media Composer 2026.8 bins. Combined with fully qualified multi-user bin sharing and project locking capabilities, editing teams running Media Composer 2026.8Enterprise gain an unrivaled collaborative boost without ever leaving their favorite NLE interface.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Vault-Tight Data Protection
As remote collaboration grows, securing valuable media assets is paramount. Facilis HUB 8.4 introduces modern, multi-layered security defenses built for modern media environments:
- Cloud SSO & OAuth Authentication: Seamlessly integrates with cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) providers like Entra ID, Okta, and Ping, enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and conditional access rules for remote or hybrid teams.
- Lockdown Mode: Obscures server file systems directly from the host OS, preventing unauthorized access or malware infiltration from reaching core data volumes.
- Smart Access Rules & Alias Volumes: Restricts client-side write and delete privileges while allowing admins to dynamically remap project folder target paths without breaking user workflows or security policies.
"Media workflows are at an exciting turning point where speed, security, and smart asset management must coexist effortlessly," said Jim McKenna, CMO at Facilis Technology. "At NAB NY 2026, we're showing content creation teams how to push their network infrastructure to absolute limits while gaining peace of mind with enterprise-level security."
AI-Driven Asset Discovery with FastTracker 3.8.6
FastTracker 3.8.6 features a sleek, fully customizable UI tailored for high-speed logging, metadata tagging, and searching. With scalable thumbnails and an upgraded player window, proxy and high-res source footage look crisp and clean.
Powering modern search, FastTracker integrates with Google AI, automatically indexing and tagging objects, logos, visual text, signage, and multi-lingual spoken word across hundreds of languages—turning massive media archives into instantly searchable, intelligent libraries.
"By pairing our high-performance Shared File System with deep NLE integrations like Media Composer 2026.8 and FastTracker Panel just a name a few, we empower teams to work faster, collaborate smarter, and secure their most critical assets without workflow friction.", added Shane Rodbourn, CEO of Facilis Technology.
