Cloud Storage and Hybrid Workflow Solutions

Who says you can’t have both cloud and on-premise shared storage? Both serve creative teams with different purposes and make workflow easier, faster, and more collaborative in their own ways. When they meet and work in harmony, well that’s the stuff dreams are made of.

Hybrid infrastructure

Who says you can’t have both cloud and on-premise shared storage? Both serve creative teams with different purposes and make workflow easier, faster, and more collaborative in their own ways.

When they meet and work in harmony, well that’s the stuff dreams are made of.

How does EVO work with the cloud?

For collaborative video editing and media production workflow, working 100% in the cloud can be slow and expensive. When paired with a high-performance shared storage system on-prem, cloud services can enable the optimal workflow solution for your creative team.

Backup to cloud storage

Keeping a redundant, off-premise backup of your media is a staple of strong technical infrastructure. Cloud storage can be a cost-effective option for off-site media backup and archival.

In just a few clicks, EVO users can schedule automatic file transfers, backups, and sync and replication jobs to cloud storage using the processing power of their EVO server—not their workstation.

These cloud storage backups can be scheduled to run regularly at any interval appropriate for your workflow, like every evening after business hours or on Saturday mornings once per month. You can even set start and pause/stop times to ensure your recurring automations only run during off-peak hours.

Cloud file sharing

Cloud storage services are great for sharing media with collaborators for review and approval or to clients for final delivery.

With Slingshot, EVO’s included automations engine, users can automatically sync specific file types to cloud storage for delivery to clients, external reviewers, and other stakeholders.

For example, you can use EVO to automatically send your finished projects (based on the filters you select in Slingshot) to your cloud storage destination so your clients can see the great work you’ve completed as soon as it’s ready.

Cloud-integrated remote workflows

If you have remote editors, chances are you are using the cloud in one way or another.

From freelancers accessing media via Dropbox, to remote editors connecting to on-prem shared storage over a cloud-hosted virtual private network, the cloud offers many great workflow options for remote content creation.

Can I do it all in the cloud?

We’d love to learn more about your current workflow and advise you on a solution that fits your needs, whether that’s an on-premise media server, 100% cloud storage, or a hybrid of both.
