HUDSON, Mass., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Facilis, a leading international supplier of cost-effective, high performance shared storage solutions for collaborative media production networks, will be demonstrating their newest shared solutions at 2022 IBC Show Amsterdam (stand 7.C35).
"Facilis is excited to be back at IBC to connect with our customers and partners. We will be demonstrating our shared storage solutions for content creators in the Digital Media & Entertainment market including innovative software enhancements to improve efficiency, security, and to further facilitate remote workflows", said Shane Rodbourn, Chief Operating Officer at Facilis. "This show offers a wonderful venue to meet with many of our Value-Added Resellers, talk with other vendor partners and gather feedback from existing and prospective customers."
Facilis WANLink Client – Facilis will show the shipping version of their revolutionary remote workflow feature based on the Facilis Shared File System. Facilis WANLink Client provides a secure, remote link to Facilis storage through the same Facilis Console software used in the facility. WANLink Client can provide secure storage access without latency and complexity of VPN and is available at no additional cost.
With the WANLink client the same volume attributes, access rules and paths are available across the internet through an encrypted link to the Facilis server in the customer facility. With the push of a button, the administrator can place secure volumes onto the desktops of remote workstations with no interaction from the remote worker. Bandwidth Priority settings can help remote workstations maintain better throughput when multiple clients are using the same server uplink.
"WANLink simplifies the remote workflow and removes the roadblocks that many facilities are now facing." said Jim McKenna, CMO of Facilis Technology. "Cloud solutions have been difficult to deploy and costly to maintain. Our customers can now use the field-tested stability of our Shared File System and new Smart Access Rules wherever the works needs to be done."
Facilis will be presenting version 8.2 at IBC 2022. The Facilis Shared File System is the core of the HUB Shared Storage workflow environment, and version 8.1 added features never seen before in similar systems. Facilis Smart Access Rules is a graphical interface that allows administrators to add custom policies to volume resources, to provide or deny access for users or groups.
Smart Access Rules – Specific paths, folders and file names can be assigned access rules based on user and group. Different than traditional access control lists, this new feature enables:
- Access rules on specific file types to protect critical assets
- Create-only feature secures data after written to general ingest locations
- No-delete options while maintaining project saves and overwrites
