Both bundles include all the software and hardware connectivity to permit browser-based remote access, remote file upload and download, and a range of review and approval workflows for in house and external participants.

Axle ai 2020 software features:

“Our flagship video search software, paired with remote access tools, have been helping teams maintain their workflows as more and more organizations make the move to remote work during Covid-19. Our new Adobe panels take this one step farther, enabling video editors to efficiently and easily collaborate on media projects while working from home.” said axle ai CEO Sam Bogoch, “With axle ai, any web browser connects your entire media library to your Adobe product suite.“

The JetStor XN8012R 2U NAS and JetStor 824iXD platforms are designed for enterprises of all sizes that demand storage that is robust, blazingly fast, and yet economical.

“AC&NC’s arrays have always been popular with M&E,” said Gene Leyzarovich, president, AC&NC. “But by partnering with axle ai, we’re now offering the industry a next-gen value proposition. Our bundled solutions offer full control and management over media stores ranging from small libraries to massive troves, all with unequalled simplicity. Moreover, all content is rapidly available via remote access, which is critical for today’s work environments.“
