Modern tools for modern medicine

Video plays a vital role in healthcare. Today’s hospitals, medical schools, and healthcare organizations rely on high-quality video content more than ever to train medical staff, educate patients, and support research.

While traditional IT systems may suffice for storing and managing clinical data, they often lack the flexibility and performance required for medical video production and post-production workflows.

EVO fills this critical need with secure, high-performance shared storage for media teams, enabling unlimited users to collaborate efficiently, manage high-resolution video files, and keep sensitive content safe.

From the operating room to the editing room

EVO supports the full workflow behind your medical video content.

Make every case a learning opportunity

Not every student can be in the operating room, but they can all benefit from what happens there. Capturing and sharing real procedures—especially rare or complex ones—creates lasting educational value for medical students, residents, and trainees at all levels.

With the right A/V infrastructure in place, each surgical procedure becomes a powerful teaching tool. Multiple cameras can stream directly to shared storage, and authorized trainees can view the recordings through their secure logins in real-time or on demand.

This workflow is gaining popularity in medical, dental, and veterinary schools as a way to extend education beyond the walls of the operating room. Media remains secure on the shared storage server, and future surgeons are able to remotely observe procedures they otherwise would have missed.

Share stories of hope and healing

Video is a powerful tool for healthcare communications, marketing, and public relations teams.

From testimonial videos to physician profiles, EVO helps your production team access, manage, and edit media from anywhere, without compromising compliance or security.

Workflow tools for unlimited users

Managing video across multiple teams and locations shouldn’t be complicated. EVO comes with the EVO Suite included for unlimited users, making it easy to search and preview media, schedule automated cloud backups, and keep projects moving forward whether teams are working on-site or remotely.

Frequently asked questions

What is EVO?

EVO is a high-performance shared storage server solution created by Studio Network Solutions (SNS). Purpose-built for the unique needs of media production teams, EVO comes with an intelligent suite of workflow tools to help users search, find, organize, automate, and edit their media and projects, faster, from anywhere.

How does EVO compare to... ?
Our mission is—and has always been—to help media teams of all sizes succeed, by enabling them to affordably collaborate and easily store, organize, and share huge amounts of data. Everything we build—from our custom EVO OS to the ShareBrowser client software that we include with every EVO system—is designed to provide the best blend of shared performance and function, even in mixed NLE and cross-platform environments. If you’re comparing and trying to decide if EVO is right for your team, please check out this article.
How hard is setup?
Everything about EVO is built for media teams. We know that many times, customers do not have a dedicated technical person, let alone a dedicated technical staff. So we make it as easy to set up and manage as possible. However, many customers would prefer not to even have to think about doing their own setup at all, so for this reason we offer on site installation. More commonly, we offer a very convenient “remote setup/commissioning” service. With this remotely guided service we pair you with a person on our team who specializes not in just “setting up the system,” but also in answering the workflow questions that always come up when installing a new shared storage system. This service is often paired with a separate training session for you and your team.
Will EVO support Mac and Windows?
Yes. EVO can be used with practically any operating system, though the included ShareBrowser software is limited to support for Mac and Windows.
How can I order an EVO?
Please contact us – we can help put you in touch with a local reseller anywhere in the world.
Do I need to order ShareBrowser/EVO Suite separately?
No! An unlimited number of EVO Suite (ShareBrowser, Slingshot, Nomad) licenses are included for use with your new EVO.
Will I need an Ethernet switch to connect my workstations to EVO?
This is your choice. EVO includes a number of direct-connect Ethernet ports, up to 100GbE. A switch isn’t needed unless you require more than the max number of direct-connect ports. See this article on choosing the correct switch for your workflow.
What is the ECCN for EVO?
The Export Control Classification Code for EVO is 5A992.
What is the country of origin for EVO? (TAA Compliance)
EVO 8 Bay, EVO 16 Bay, EVO 8 Bay Live, EVO Nearline, and EVO Prodigy Desktop have a country of origin of the United States of America under the rules of origin pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 2518(4)(B) These products meet the requirements of substantial transformation, for purposes of government procurement (TAA) with a Country of Origin: U.S.
