DigitalGlue has shattered the paradigm of high-end storage solutions with the launch of creative.space, an new concept in media storage.

//Auteur system

The platform is offered as an ‘On-Premise Managed Storage’ (OPMS) service and features high-speed, high-capacity, 24/7 monitoring, technical support and next-day repairs for an all-inclusive, affordable, fixed monthly rate. The company also designs and implements solutions for complete turnkey content creation, post-production, and distribution.

creative.space targets collaborative workflows by optimizing advanced hardware and software for efficiency and increased productivity via its ‘On-Premise Managed Storage’ service.

OPMS removes storage as a bottleneck, helping creatives achieve uninterrupted creative flow.

“creative.space is the first on-premise managed storage offering engineered specifically for the media and entertainment industry,” explains Tim Anderson, CEO and CTO, DigitalGlue. “It was designed with a simple mission in mind: minimize the time it takes to turn vision into reality in an affordable way. We believe that when creatives are given the tools they need to succeed, they are more productive and generate more value for their agencies and clients.“

The first service in the creative.space platform to debut is the //Auteur series that sets a standard for collaborative media storage. Starting with 120TB RAW capacity across twelve drives in a 24-bay 4 RU chassis, it affords customers room to grow quickly. Every system is custom-built to address each customer’s unique needs. Entry level systems are designed for small to medium workgroups using compressed 4K, 6K, and 8K workflows and can scale for 4K uncompressed workflows (including 4K OpenEXR) and large multi-user environments.
