Video producers often have to wait to transfer files between editors on different platforms. They also deal with the
constant growth of data. This can result in “storage zoo”, a mishmash of storage on different devices and platforms
that becomes difficult to manage and grow. This occurs with the risk of data loss and creates latencies while accessing
or sharing your data.
45Drives offers high-speed storage solutions that are easy to grow along with your data while also keeping it safe from
data loss or corruption. On top of that, they allow you to store all of your data in one place and edit directly from
it without the need to transfer around files.
Edit Directly From Your Server
Save massive amounts of time with fast video delivery to clients and the ability of multiple editors to work directly off the same server.
We Make Storage Simple
Have access to our storage experts who are real people. They will guide you toward the storage solution that best fits your use case, including the configuration of the software for you. These offerings also don’t require you to get tied up into a useless support contract. Simply just pay for support when you need it.
Store Your Footage in One Place
Our Storinators range from 15 to 60 bays with capacities of 330TBs to 1.2PBs raw. So, you can keep and organize all active projects, B-roll, archive, etc. on a single machine. They're easily scalable if you require additional storage.
Protect Your Footage
You can be on-prem and always in control of your data rather than dealing with cloud providers who lose your data with no true accountability. You also won’t have to worry about accidental deletion of your footage.

Clustering transforms your storage by combining multiple servers together into a single software-defined storage system. Clusters
are centrally managed, can easily be grown, and ensure your footage will be accessible even if a server goes down. They excel for
general file serving and high-speed/capacity workloads.
Over the last few years, there has been an explosion in the quantity of video being produced. At the same time, the file sizes of footage
and projects have massively increased. All this has led to many video producers not having a clear vision of how best to store and manage
their data at the current stage of their organization’s growth.
For video producers, your storage can have a significant impact on your workflow, on how quickly you can complete and manage projects, and
on ensuring you never lose any files.
Whether you are a one-person independent media producer or a member of a large studio, this 14-page guide will take you through the most
common storage methods media producers use, examples of their workflow, and how to take your organization to the next level.
