OWC Jellyfish Manager 2.0 Software Offering New Design, Dashboard, and Cloud Backup Integrations

Other World Computing, Inc. (OWC) announces Jellyfish Manager 2.0 software.

It is the modern interface between the user and the Jellyfish by OWC. It gives post-production teams the tools they need to be self-reliant and frees up IT teams to stay focused on their day-to-day tasks. With a style that matches a modern-day software tools creatives use daily, Jellyfish Manager is a tool for server administration.

Jellyfish storage systems family

Jellyfish Manager 2.0 works directly with Jellyfish servers, a specialized shared storage device that allows multiple post-production video editors to work simultaneously with 4K, 6K, and 8K footage. Video teams at some of the largest companies in the world, YouTube creators, post-production houses, and creative agencies love the Jellyfish servers for their ease of use and video workflow support.

Since then, the Jellyfish team has added new functionalities that called for a new layout focused on organization and a streamlined user interface. The updated design includes accessible menus and deep linking throughout the whole application. System alerts are readily available from all pages in the app also additional tooltips across the board, and intuitive terminology to speed up the learning process.

Enhanced workflow integrations
Frame.io syncing between Jellyfish folders and Frame.io projects are possible without going through watch folders on workstation. Combined with the transcoding functionality of Jellyfish Media Engine, this integration helps teams collaborate through Frame.io while storing their original footage on the Jellyfish. Postlab is a platform that allows teams to collaborate more efficiently in Apple Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere Pro. It is cloud-based, but it can run locally on the Jellyfish itself instead of using the cloud with the Jellyfish integration. Jellyfish is the only on-prem solution that works with Postlab Local.

“We are all excited about all this new functionality,” said Josh Minney, COO. “We hope you will enjoy the improved experience. There are many improvements in the new Jellyfish Manager 2.0 that users won’t notice but will allow us to build more integrations with our software and third-party applications.”

Check your vitals: Monitor memory, temperature, storage, and CPU usage immediately and see the health of drives
Manage file permissions: Decide who gets access to specific shares and folders with a few clicks. Easily create and add local users and groups for team and assign them permissions in less time than it takes to upload a cat video to Youtube
Customize network settings: Jellyfish systems come completely preconfigured for 4K+ video and direct connections, but if the user like to create and modify network settings or bond ports into your switch, the vendor promises you won’t have to read a 50-page manual first.
Enable workflows: Like Jellyfish Remote Access, Snapshots, Davinci Resolve Collaborative database, or iconik storage gateways.
