For creative studios, your media files represent countless hours of work—from intricately edited movie timelines to eye-popping 3D animations, even B-roll from your holiday work party. This digital media represents your team’s unique ideas, and hold immeasurable value.

When creators like video editors and studios collaborate on a project, teams go the extra length to ensure the right files always land in the correct hands. But mistakes can still happen in the editing bay, and it can be near-impossible to plan ahead or prevent certain things from happening—like the inevitable human error or an unforeseeable event like a fire or flood at your studio.

Cloud storage presents a different way to store your media, so every time you press save, every version is automatically and instantly available to everyone on your team, no matter their location. Storing your media in the cloud, without a doubt, hands down, whatever you want to say—is the safest thing you can do with your data. Here are five of the most important reasons why…

Data Redundancy = Safer Storage‍

One fundamental aspect of data security is, simply, where it’s stored. Suite’s cloud storage automatically stores media across multiple servers in different locations, adding an extra layer of security to every file. By placing your media in object storage on Suite, it remains safe and accessible at all times, and worrying about file security can become a thing of the past.

Transactional Writes = Zero Corruption Risk

Corrupted files are unacceptable during the creative process: They can lead to lost work, system crashes, and other severe workflow bummers, to put it lightly. Suite is a filesystem that guarantees transactional file writes to avoid corrupted files. Here’s how it works:

A transaction (ie. a file upload) is a group of operations treated as a single, all or nothing operation. When a transaction for a file write succeeds, Suite can provide 100% confidence that the file is correct. If a transaction fails, that file will remain unchanged, and uneditable by any other user. Each operation within Suite is individually verified for correctness and transactions only complete after all operations succeed - 100% corruption-free.

In plain terms: When you store and edit your media in Suite, there’s zero risk for corruption. Our cloud storage automatically ensures every version of every file is stored completely and correctly every time, so teams can be confident that their files are accessible from anywhere.

Time Machine = Easy File Recovery

Do you wish could go back in time and recover a lost file? With Suite, you can. That’s thanks to Time Machine, which allows teams to instantly navigate back in time via the Suite app and recover it exactly as it was at that point in time, with down-to-the-millisecond precision. Mistakes happen, but Suite eliminates the consequences.

Encryption = Premium Privacy

Encryption is one topic that’s often described in an overcomplicated manner. Let’s get the story straight: It’s a technique that ensures, even when everyone has access to a set of data or media, only the correct people are able to decode and read it. Suite integrates seamlessly with object storage infrastructure and is encrypted at every moment, in-transit and at-rest in the cloud. This level of security has become the standard for every cloud provider, and Suite hits the mark.

Access & Permissions = The Right Collaborators

Many studios implement specific permissions for certain employees, to ensure sensitive media can only be accessed by chosen individuals. Suite enables these same granular level controls, ensuring only those who really need access to modify, or delete files, are given it. Within the Suite app, you can easily set up permissions and manage individual team members with just a few clicks. On the cloud, it’s easy gain complete oversight of your studio’s creative process.

Suite enables creative teams to have absolute control over their data. Storing your media in the cloud, you're not only safeguarding your creative pursuits; you're making it easier than ever to collaborate remotely, and you’re reducing the risk involved with storing and sharing digital assets. This is a commitment to smoother workflows, where every version of every file is securely stored and readily accessible for everyone on your team.
