At IBC2024, GB Labs will introduce NebulaNAS, a new cloud storage solution designed for media production.
NebulaNAS combines the flexibility of cloud storage with the performance of on-premise systems, allowing for seamless global collaboration. Alongside NebulaNAS, GB Labs will showcase other products from its media storage portfolio.
Introduction to NebulaNAS
GB Labs will present NebulaNAS at Stand 7.A09a in the Great Britain and Northern Ireland Pavilion. NebulaNAS is developed specifically for media professionals, offering cloud flexibility with NAS-like usability. It supports global access, collaboration, and enterprise-level security, making it a practical solution for remote work in media production.
Key Features of NebulaNAS
NebulaNAS offers four main benefits:
Media-Centric Design: It supports various media workflows, accommodating any frame rate, file size, format, or bit rate.
Cloud Flexibility: Operating across a distributed cloud architecture, NebulaNAS enhances performance and security. Users can scale storage and add local and NVMe caching as needed.
Local-Like Performance: Despite being a cloud-based solution, NebulaNAS offers on-premise-like performance. It supports near-real-time collaboration and requires minimal learning.
Enterprise Security: NebulaNAS uses 256-bit AES encryption and provides detailed audit reporting to track file access and interactions.
Benefits of NebulaNAS for Media Companies
NebulaNAS reduces the need for additional switches and bandwidth, eliminates the necessity of copying files to hard drives, and simplifies file management by minimizing content duplication. It is designed for media companies and organizations managing media production across multiple locations.
SPACE NVMe Servers
GB Labs will also highlight its SPACE NVMe servers, the fastest NAS products in their lineup. These servers can accelerate NebulaNAS, offering cost savings and performance improvements. When connected to NebulaNAS, SPACE NVMe allows users to access cloud-stored files as if they were local, reducing cloud egress.
CEO Statement
GB Labs’ CEO, Dominic Harland, emphasizes that NebulaNAS is tailored for the increasing need for remote and hybrid work in the media industry. NebulaNAS provides a secure and efficient way to store and collaborate on media files in the cloud while maintaining the performance of on-premise systems. Visitors to IBC2024 are encouraged to explore how NebulaNAS can enhance their production workflows.
