The File Fabric provides a single common interface across data stores from which to view, manage and define collaboration and security controls.
The interface shows to end users all data they are authorized to access, regardless of the underlying platform.
The File Fabric enables users to access authorized information from any device over the Internet without the need for a VPN connection.
Access is provided via mobile devices (iOS and Android), file browsers (Windows Explorer, Mac Finder and Linux), as well as from any web browser. The solution uses a familiar interface so end users are up and running quickly.
A 4K movie is over 150GB. Moving files that large can take days. The File Fabric includes M-Stream to parallel stream these large files from the source to the destination location reducing copy times by 10X and more.
M-Stream maximizes the use of network bandwidth to move files quickly and securely.
Unlike many collaboration systems, the File Fabric does not obfuscate file names and data. Data is managed and secured in-place. Customers are able to read and write files using File Fabric applications and system applications while still access data stores directly.
M-Stream parallelizes large files, speeding up downloads and folder-to-folder copy, providing speeds of up to 10Gb/s.
Studios constantly share data with post production companies for the development of new content.
Exchange content with partners and clients.
Producers, writers, directors and others collaborate ideas, scripts and more during the development process.
Use the built-in approval processes to review, comment and approve or deny proposed changes to projects.
Quickly move data from high-cost to low-cost storage platforms. The File Fabric Is capable of working across an on-site environment and a cloud service where there may be different object storage systems, for example a NetApp running StorNext file system and the Amazon S3 cloud object storage service.
