Suite is changing how teams store and share digital media. Whether you’re a video editor at a fast-growing creative agency, or you’re running a studio that operates at enterprise scale Suite offers professional-grade performance benefits for any style of remote collaboration.

In this article, we’re outlining the key features and measurable differences that set Suite apart. We’re not here to introduce a product that makes things a little bit better. Suite’s cloud storage completely revolutionizes remote work for anyone handling digital media, especially creative studios handling large files. Suite is where creatives go to collaborate on the cloud—it’s the centralized, instantly accessible hub for your media that enables real-time remote collaboration.  It’s a bold statement, but we’re in a bold mood. Here are the statistics to prove it…

Shuttling Drives? Reduce storage costs by 25 percent

Here’s an example video project:
‍
• 60 day timeline, start-to-finish
• 10TB of project media
• 2 remote editors, 1 in-house project manager

10TB stored on Suite = $750/month ($1500 total project cost)
10TB stored & transferred the "old way" = well… that's not so easy to calculate, now is it?

Let's take a closer look at numbers that prove how clunky it is to buy, ship, and maintain physical hard drives over the course of a project. Needless to say, every one of these steps also runs the tab up. To start, three 10 TB SSDs might cost upwards of $1,500. Then, shipping those drives multiple times during post production adds roughly $500 to the project every time drives are shipped back and forth between your studio and the editors. This might happen upwards of four, five, or many more times. So, to wrap it all together—just to store and share the media on this example project it might cost upwards of $2,000. Not to mention the editing time lost during transit…

What we’re trying to say here is that the cost of cloud storage with Suite can save media teams upwards of 25% on storage-related costs by offering a simple flat rate, billed monthly. This streamlines the process, helping creatives avoid costly, time-sucking administrative tasks, so teams can get back into the edit bay.

0:00 = Time Spent Downloading or Syncing Files

Suite empowers creative teams to dive straight into their work, eliminating the need to download or sync assets. Here's how it works: The Suite Drive lives natively within your Finder window and streams data directly from the cloud; anyone connected to your Suite cloud storage can instantly access those files as if everyone were working off of the same device. Uploading media is as simple as a drag & drop while our handy link-sharing feature can help teams quickly access the files they need. Without having to download new versions of files or sync between machines, anytime you or anyone else opens and saves a file it instantly updates on everyone’s device in real-time.

24 Gbps Read speed and 10 Gbps Write speed, per user

Suite’s cloud storage mounts locally to your machine and utilizes intelligent caching to provide incredibly fast Read/Write speeds for each team member streaming data from the Suite drive.

Suite reads cached data up to 24 Gbps and can write to the cloud at up to 10 Gbps—in short, this technology is wicked fast. And we’ll never throttle your pipeline, so your media is always moving as fast as your internet connection allows. The bottom line? Suite’s Read/Write speeds can unlock local-style file access from anywhere.

2-minute Customer Reply Times

Whether you're facing a technical hiccup or need guidance on best practices, Suite’s support team ready to reply at the drop of a hat. Simply put, our customer service response times are crazy fast, typically under two minutes. This means less time troubleshooting, and more time spent working on the final cut.

100% Media Transfer Confidence, Every Time

We understand your files are the lifeblood of your business. When you upload files to Suite’s cloud storage you can be confident that your media is replicated without corruption. This is thanks to how Suite handles your data. Transactional writes guarantee every bit of data is properly stored within your Suite drive, every time, providing additional peace of mind as you balance deadlines, employees, and asset management on a daily basis.

99.999999999% Durability for Every Asset

Traditional storage solutions such as on-prem servers and SSDs are susceptible to an array of security hazards—floods, fires, an ill-fated hard drive in the mail, whatever it may be. Suite offers a level of security so robust it's hard to fathom. Here’s how it works: Suite saves your data within cloud-based object storage, built on the largest providers in the world, meaning every bit of information is saved with multiple redundancies. The best part? Every aspect of this process happens behind the scenes the moment you upload, so all that’s left to do is get back to work.

10-minute Onboarding Process

Remind yourself of the time and cost associated with shipping drives to disparate team members. Now, contrast that whole debacle with the ease and immediacy of adding a new collaborator to your Suite account. Installing Suite takes just a few minutes, and collaborators can gain instant access to the files they need to begin their creative work. No shipping fees, no wasted days, no lag in productivity. This accelerated onboarding process can be a game-changer for dynamic teams that need to adapt and scale quickly.

Suite is the cloud that acts local…

When it comes to storing, sharing, and collaborating remotely, the future is built on the cloud. Streamlined workflows, seamless collaboration, robust data security, and premium performance are all inherent in the package. If you ever need a reminder (or a nudge) why cloud storage can benefit your creative efforts, take another look at this post. In this increasingly remote work landscape, cloud workflows empower teams to work efficiently, regardless of distance.
