A shared storage server, for growing video teams.
BUILD YOURS
The Jellyfish Tower shared storage server can be used with or without a switch. Users can connect directly into one of up to 16 onboard 1GbE or 10GbE ports, or add a switch for additional expansion. There is no limit to the number of users connected simultaneously.
The Jellyfish Tower is listed with a raw capacity number and a Working Space number. Working Space is what’s actually available for storage after RAID, performance buffers, and overhead are applied.
If you need to go fast but don’t have a server room and IT support, the Jellyfish Tower was built for you and your team. Massive bandwidth means smooth playback in hi-res and multicam, and the ability to ingest while editing.
The Jellyfish Tower shared storage server was designed to be unboxed and up and running in under 20 minutes with no prior networking experience required. You will be guided through each step of the setup online, and if you need additional help our support team is only a phone call away.
Your Jellyfish comes with free unlimited licenses for Kyno for Jellyfish which allows you to organize and filter through your entire media library using rich metadata, custom tags, and ratings. Kyno for Jellyfish integrates with your editing software so the clips you already tagged arrive in your project organized and ready to be found.
Leverage the processing power of your Jellyfish to generate proxies for your offline or remote workflows. Access those proxies locally or remotely and link them to your project. Switch to proxy mode in your editing software and enjoy smooth playback no matter your connection speed. Jellyfish Media Engine comes free with your Jellyfish purchase to provide your team with an extra level of flexibility.
