At Facilis Technology, we specialize in designing and building high-performance video storage servers for collaborative media production networks. Our innovative Shared File System –included with all Facilis HUB servers–is specifically engineered to streamline video asset management across complex, cross-OS networks. This ensures seamless collaboration across media production applications and file formats.
Whether your team is handling 4K color grading, VFX compositing, or HD editorial with Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple FCPX, DaVinci Resolve, or Avid Pro Tools, the Facilis HUB offers the media storage solutions you need. Facilis products ensure the speed, scalability, and reliability essential for post-production teams to collaborate seamlessly and create with confidence.
Software-Defined Media Storage for Creative Workflows
Facilis HUB is a high-performance video storage server built to meet the demands of post-production teams working with complex media projects. These key features deliver smooth workflows and unmatched performance for your creative teams:
Administrative Control
The Facilis Web Console empowers administrators with complete control over the storage environment. With real-time access to connectivity and performance metrics, administrators can easily manage and monitor multi-server setups, troubleshoot potential issues, and ensure optimal performance across the board. This level of control minimizes downtime and ensures that projects run smoothly without interruptions.
Complex Cross-Platform Collaboration
In media production, different team members often use a variety of operating systems and applications. Facilis HUB makes cross-platform collaboration effortless by allowing seamless interaction between macOS, Windows, and Linux environments. This flexibility ensures that all team members, regardless of the software they use—whether it’s Avid, Adobe Premiere, or DaVinci Resolve—can collaborate in real-time without file compatibility issues or workflow bottlenecks.
Facilis Shared File System
The proprietary Facilis Shared File System is included with every HUB server and is designed to enhance collaboration in even the most complex production environments. This file system ensures all users have fast, simultaneous access to the same files, streamlining video asset management and eliminating the need for multiple copies of media files. It simplifies workflows by allowing teams to work on projects at the same time, regardless of file size or format.
High-Resolution & 4K Workflows
Post-production work with high-resolution formats, such as 4K and beyond, demands high-speed performance and hefty storage capacity. Facilis HUB is optimized for high-resolution workflows, ensuring your team can handle tasks like 4K color grading and HD editorial work without experiencing performance slowdowns. This allows for faster project completion, improved productivity, and fewer delays, keeping your team on track.
Enhanced Security with Streamlined Volume & User Controls
Advanced User Management:
Our system offers centralized user management, allowing administrators to securely control access to all data. Through the Facilis Admin Console, you can seamlessly integrate with Active Directory for single-point user administration or set custom permissions using desktop user accounts and secure password lists. This gives your team the flexibility to collaborate securely, with access customized to their specific roles.
Storage Volume Control:
Facilis HUB allows you to easily create, modify, and control project-based storage volumes with built-in security measures. You can set permissions for each volume and deploy them across workstations in seconds, ensuring your sensitive media files are always protected. With real-time bandwidth monitoring, you can optimize server connections and maintain peak performance without compromising on security.
FastTracker Integrated Asset Management
Fast and Efficient Media File Search
Managing terabytes of files across hard drives, network locations, and shared storage can slow production. Facilis FastTracker, included with every video storage server, offers a fast and efficient way to index, tag, search, and access your video, audio, and still media formats. This reduces the time spent searching for files, letting your team focus on production.
Seamless Workflow Integration
FastTracker supports millions of asset records and is fully integrated with Facilis volume management. Whether you’re tracking media on network shares, local drives, or cloud directories via Object Cloud, FastTracker streamlines the entire workflow—from ingest to editing and delivery—without the bloat and workflow dependencies of traditional MAM systems.
Managed Cloud and LTO Backup and Archive
Cost-Effective Cloud and LTO Backup Solutions
Facilis Object Cloud and Object LTO provide an affordable, tiered storage network designed to complement the Facilis HUB shared storage server. Leveraging tools from Xen Data, these solutions allow both artists and administrators to manage backup and archive data as easily as working with files on a disk. With flexible options for cloud storage and LTO tape libraries, you can choose between a low-cost yearly cloud plan or a one-time LTO setup fee with ongoing support.
Seamless Integration for High-Performance Workflows
Facilis Object Cloud & LTO integrates seamlessly with your existing Facilis HUB server, FastTracker, and volume management software. This powerful combination delivers a fully integrated solution for managing video storage, project workflows, and media backup, ensuring your content creation workflow operates at the highest level of efficiency and reliability.
