RAID-protected shared storage for all of your Pro Tools users
Evo — the complete, networked storage solution for media workgroups — supports multiple users doing maximum track count at any sample rate. It works over Fibre Channel or Ethernet (SAN), allowing you to get the most out of your investment in Pro Tools and even avoid using a PCIe slot if you don't have a spare!
Collaborate in ways you never thought possible, from the most powerful desktops to the most portable laptops! Evo combines a high-performance, Pro Tools-tuned storage array with the most extensive connectivity options available in a single product, it's RAID-protected, and your audio workstations will love it!

Pro Tools makes tough demands on multi-user storage.
Multi-track recording and editing demands much more than just raw bandwidth from real-time, shared storage systems. In fact, bandwidth isn't even the most critical performance aspect of a Pro Tools SAN.
The performance depends on very low latency — how quickly the storage can write, find and retrieve hundreds of pieces of scattered information simultaneously. The track data for every mix, fade, and edit must be delivered to each workstation with precise timing. Plus writing to the disks must be flawless, because you don't get a second shot at the perfect take.
The Evo shared storage system comes pre-configured with highly optimized tunings created specifically for multi-user Pro Tools environments. This translates into incredible performance — up to the 192 track maximum for each Pro Tools workstation!
We spend thousands of hours testing our products with Pro Tools, and we've designed and installed many of the world's largest Pro Tools shared storage systems.
We understand that many factors influence the performance needed for an audio workflow, including track count, bit rate, sample size and edit density. Oftentimes, less obvious influences — such as the use of timecode or reference video — also affect the overall capabilities of a system.
All of these factors and more are taken into consideration when we design a RAID-protected, shared storage system for Pro Tools professionals.
