Game changer for post-production collaboration
PegasusPro offers convenience for users as they click to convert, collaborate and transfer data at fast speed. With FileBoost technology, it leaps over technological hurdles to deliver a Thunderbolt 3 DAS and NAS fusion system for a improvement in workflow for digital media collaboration. It is designed to enable rapid data transfer from DAS to NAS and vice-versa, a saving performance improvement. Multiple team members can connect directly to PegasusPro via Thunderbolt 3, on 4K or 8K productions; and simultaneously share their work with other team contributors over 10GbE NAS; all done using an user interface Promise Utility Pro after an one-time setup procedure.

“Promise announced the world’s first Thunderbolt storage Pegasus Series back to 2010. Pegasus Series is known as a DAS storage in the previous models and well recognized by users for the outstanding performance. However, we keep on receiving inquiries from our loyal customers for adding ‘file sharing’ function to meet the demand of collaboration. Therefore, we debut PegasusPro to meet customer expectations for its capability of combining DAS and NAS for the first time without compromising on quality and performance,” said James Lee, CEO. “PegasusPro is a game changer revealing a new chapter for all creative professionals to have the teamwork collaboration in real-time sharing, with unlimited capacity expansion.“
