Two things – security and
connectivity!
Just His Luck – Cloud
storage looks great, but
sometimes it leaks.
Cyber hacks and thefts
increased more than 70
percent with the primary
focus being on personal and
company private data. Even
with the promise of encryption
and robust 24x7 protection,
no cloud service guarantees
100 percent content safety.
It's one thing to use cloud-
based products and services
but entrusting a complete
creative project to the cloud is
a major leap in faith.
Add to that the importance of
having burstable on-demand
connectivity, sustainable
bandwidth and low latency.
It's no wonder filmmakers and
production teams rely on local
direct and network-attached
storage.
Production Storage – A
number of people make a
strong case for working in
the cloud and storing your
work product there; but most
filmmakers error on the side
of caution when it comes to
security and connectivity.
Besides, there's something
reassuring about getting
out of bed and patting the
storage unit holding your
project and knowing there's a
physical copy at your in-laws
and second backup across
the country … just in case.
Production on the Road
Sometimes, filmmakers just
need their project with them,
so they can work on it when
and where they can.
