WORKING REMOTE
Facilis carries on the simplicity and support for creative facilities that require hybrid on-prem and at-home with the right amount of technology to enable efficiency but still respect the embedded project workflows.
Object Cloud storage is easily integrated into the internal volume structure, with drag-drop and automated data movement options, or managed through FastTracker MAM with media movement and proxy creation to cloud.
Facilis Edge Sync combines simple cloud integration with a Cosmos Database that synchronizes multiple desktops to the on-prem cache volume, so media created in local facility or remote workstations is instantly available everywhere.
Facilis Web Console has client software for home systems to connect through VPN into he facility network, using the same authentication method and permissions management as the on-prem workers.
FastTracker Web enables remote desktops to browse the entire database of on-prem media, secured by user account and catalog access. Download sources to remote desktops, or create low bitrate proxies on demand.
SUPPORT & SERVICE OFFERINGS
Imagine quoting a product that doesn’t make your customer cringe at the mandatory first-year support costs. Support, software licensing and advance replacement warranty is included for year 1, and a sliding scale per server model for Total Care (software & hardware) contracts, which average well under 15% of the server unit cost alone.
A software and support only package is available for any age server at a flat rate, to keep the customer updated with the latest software and features.
Facilis offers on-site assistance with install and configuration, remote operational training and published reseller certification and end-user training.

Software Defined Shared Storage for Creative Workflow
Facilis HUB is an industry-leading SAN storage video server dedicated to 4K film and video post-production and content creation workflows.
The Facilis Web Console gives you total control over your shared storage environment. Create, change and permission project-based storage volumes, and deploy them to the desktops of the facility workstations with the push of a button.
Even small facilities can have hundreds of terabytes of files across multiple hard drives, network locations, and online shared storage. Managing the access and locations of these files can be a challenge, wasting time searching that should be used for production.
Designed to complement the Facilis HUB shared storage server, Facilis Object Cloud is Facilis’ latest line of integrated backup and archive that helps Facilis customers build a tiered storage network at an affordable price.
