Unmatched performance
EVO’s hardware architecture and operating system are precisely tuned to give your team the power to edit 4K, 8K, VR, and everything in-between, directly from the server.
We’ve spent the last 20 years pushing shared storage systems to their breaking points, so you don’t have to.

These stream counts were conducted using an EVO 16 Bay model with 16 x 12TB HDD disks and EVO OS v.6.1 on macOS and Windows workstations connected over Gigabit and 10Gb Ethernet using AFP and SMB protocols.
Tests use many simultaneous unique clips (independent files) of various sizes, with Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and other professional video editing software.

What people are saying
We grew the number of episodes during production and the staff kept growing. We had a show runner, nine producers, two executive producers, seven editors and four assistant editors—around 20 users reviewing and editing footage on EVO at any given time.
All of our raw footage, projects, graphics, and finished shows are safe and available from any machine. We’re sometimes delivering over 100 videos a week, so having EVO has been absolutely essential to our workflow.
We were using a 64TB direct-attached RAID, and it got to a point where we knew we just couldn’t get anything done without a centralized server that we could rely on to handle our workflow without hiccups.
We have better processes in place because of EVO. It’s allowed us to sleep… without it, it would always be crunch time.

Bring your entire team together with a central, searchable, After Effects-optimized storage server for all of your media and projects.
