With a license for 10TB of cloud storage included, this server can manage facility assets, hold proxies, and make everything available on cloud storage for remote access. If configured properly, FastTracker database is available securely for any internet user to log on and browse content, download files and even upload to secure server locations for remote ingest.

“We’ve learned a lot about our customer’s requirements for remote access and asset management over the past year,” said Jim McKenna, Chief Marketing Officer at Facilis Technology. “We’ve been shipping our Object Cloud product since 2019, so we were able to respond quickly to the needs of our customers and provide enhanced remote editorial options with Object Cloud, FastTracker, Edge Sync and now FastTracker Edge.”
