Hello Richard,
There are several SAN and NAS solutions on the market today that will meet your needs. Your configuration is very common to what we see on a daily basis.Facilis TerraBlock offers the most flexible connectivity options (1/10Gbe and/or 4/8/16 Fibre Channel), the best performance, highly resilient, multi-platform, interoperable, and expandable shared storage solution all at a cost effective price.
If you look at the Total cost of ownership over the life of the product, I think you’ll find the TerraBlock to be very compelling (no per seat licenses, first year of support included, low annual maintenance, customer loyalty programs which allow you to leverage initial investment, etc…).
If you would like more information give us a call at 978-562-7022 or email sales@facilis.comRegards,

Hello Jamal,
Thank you for contacting our Support team. Facilis is a shared storage provider. Our flagship product is the TerraBlock. It is not affiliated with Unity (that is an Avid product which is now end of life). We are not a Unity vendor as you mention in your mail. Unity (and now ISIS) are made by Avid.If you have issues with relinking media from an Avid NLE, we can certainly take a look and make some recommendations. I’ve asked a member of our team to reach out to you.
Best regards,

This allows you to leverage your initial investment while moving forward to the latest technology on the market.

Jeff,
As Bob explained, Unity is an End-of-life product. You have to weigh the costs of maintaining and supporting an aging system vs. moving to newer technology. There are several very good solutions in the market which will likely fit the needs of your colleague.Among the many benefits we offer at Facilis is a Legacy Trade-in option. We recognize that people have made significant investments in storage and it’s hard to justify moving to newer technology. Facilis will give up to $5,000 USD discount toward a new 24D or 24EX TerraBlock. The system has to have been in production recently (no mothballed systems in the closet;).

October 30, 2012 at 1:26 pm in reply to: Whats the best server solution for Adobe Premiere Pro?Hello Øystein,
Alex has some very good suggestions. If you’re interested in talking more about Facilis storage solutions, please email sales@facilis.com or call 978-562-7022 at your convenience.Facilis offers some nice collaborative features for Adobe Premiere Pro. The TerraBlock software comes with a Project Manager utility which gives you the ability to manage who has access to project files and also prevents overwriting each other. It is not native to the application like we have with Avid Bin and Project sharing but many have found it quite useful. In addition the collaborative aspects of Terrablock, you’ll also find it is an easy to use, high performance, reliable, turn-key system at an affordable price.
Thanks,
Shane Rodbourn

Facilis TerraBlock provides native bin and project sharing within Avid Media Composer just as if you were on Unity or ISIS (e.g. – you’ll see the same bin locking/unlocking icons).
