Don’t Let Storage Be the

Weak Link in Your Defense

Storage is usually an afterthought in a creative workflow. That’s because factors like lowering total cost of ownership, along with capex and opex, complying with security measures, speeding up time to value, and ensuring ease of implementation often get prioritized over workflow efficiency.

When organizations chose to go cloud-first or cloud-only, many of these factors were suddenly scrapped. Why? Because unlike the cloud, workflows evolve. Suddenly, creative workflows got stuck in a virtual box that was neither secure nor cost predictable. That wasn’t supposed to be the case.

Even creative workflows running on traditional on-premises storage solutions are running into roadblocks. That’s because not all on-premises storage solutions are pro-workflow. Traditional non-media-centric storage solutions are often slow, and most of all, require special tuning to handle high-performance media.

So what do you do when your video is trapped and your workflows can’t advance?

Generate value and volume with OpenDrives’ storage management workflow solutions.

Never get stuck again. You and your creativity have options.

At the 2026 NAB Show, we’re doing something different. We’re going pro…sports that is, showing off our deepening commitment to one of the most exciting, innovative verticals within media and entertainment, where the velocity of content creation now rivals the speed of play itself. Modern sports organizations have transformed into high-performance media engines, tasked with managing massive volumes of high-resolution data that must be captured, edited, and distributed to global audiences in real-time.

The high-stakes, zero-latency requirements of live sports, along with the data-intensive sports post-production workflows for marketing and social purposes, demand a level of architectural agility and throughput that general-purpose data storage cannot provide. By aligning our latest innovations with the specific needs of sports broadcasters and franchise creative teams, OpenDrives is ensuring that the technology powering the highlights is as fast, resilient, and collaborative as the athletes on the field.

You can find OpenDrives at the heart of the action in the Sports Theater Hub, where we will be showing off our expertise in professional sports workflows at Pod W3443-E and hosting meetings Cabana W1158.

Atlas Composable Solution Bundles for Every Budget

A common, yet outdated practice is for data storage vendors to charge per capacity and for higher performance. Not with Atlas. We’ve decomposed our software so it’s not reliant on underlying hardware infrastructure, which normally determines capacity. Built-in flexibility and adaptability means you don’t have to pay for features you do not need. What you get is feature-rich bundles and high performance no matter which bundle you choose, and best of all, it’s easy to upgrade. For pre-packaged solution bundles purpose-built around your industry, vertical, and workflows/use cases (e.g., Corporate Creative, Professional Sports, House of Worship, etc.), check out our Atlas solutions.
