Fast and Reliable for Creatives

Creative production puts demands on IT infrastructure that standard business environments are not designed for. Video editing, audio production, graphic design, and animation require workstations with specific hardware, storage systems that can sustain high throughput for large media files, and networks fast enough to move that data without becoming a bottleneck.

How We Help

High-Performance Workstations Video editing, color grading, 3D rendering, and audio production require workstations that are specced for the software and the workload. We configure systems around the applications your team uses, including GPU selection, RAM, and storage configuration.
Media Storage Solutions High-capacity, high-throughput storage for raw footage, project files, and archives. We design NAS and direct-attached storage solutions that handle the sustained read/write performance that media work demands without the bottlenecks that come from using general-purpose storage.
Fast Networking for Large Files Moving video files across a network at standard gigabit speeds creates unnecessary delays in production workflows. We design 10GbE and multi-gigabit network infrastructure where the file sizes and workflows justify it, keeping your team from waiting on data transfers.
Creative Software Support Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, and other production applications require specific hardware configurations and occasional license management. We support the infrastructure these applications run on and help resolve compatibility and performance issues.
Project and Archive Backup Losing a production project to a storage failure is a disaster with real financial consequences. We implement backup strategies appropriate for large media files, including versioned local backup and offsite copies for deliverables and final assets.
Remote Collaboration Remote editors, collaborators, and clients who need secure access to project files or review tools. We implement secure remote access and frame.io-compatible workflows that let distributed teams collaborate without emailing massive files back and forth.

What Makes Media IT Different

The defining characteristic of media IT is throughput. Raw video footage, especially at high resolutions and frame rates, generates data volumes that overwhelm storage and networking designed for standard office use. A workstation that is fast for accounting work may be completely inadequate for a video editor working with 4K or 6K footage. Getting the specifications right prevents the bottlenecks that slow down production and erode the time available for creative work.

  • Storage throughput matched to codec, resolution, and simultaneous stream requirements
  • GPU selection based on the specific applications and acceleration features they use
  • Network infrastructure designed around actual file transfer requirements
  • Thermal management and noise considerations for studio environments
  • Asset management and archive systems appropriate for long-term project retention
