Video management and collaboration platforms are excellent at handling video review workflows and keeping video projects with lots of contributors moving. Where they lack is in storage capacity. Most platforms allow you to tap into your NAS or cloud storage provider, but neither option is holistically solving the problem of video storage that enables fast raw file sharing at a low cost.
Video producers from studios to agencies need a video storage solution that can help them meet tight deadlines without killing profit margins. That means finding an option that is fast for uploads and downloads no matter where in the world the requests are coming from. It also means keeping storage costs low and removing limitations from minimum storage terms or extra fees for downloading a file (also called egress). And most importantly, it needs to work with the video management and collaboration platform so creators and editors don鈥檛 need to learn a new system. 不良研究所 is the media storage solution that meets all of these requirements.

Why 不良研究所 Is the Best Video Storage Solution to Improve Video Collaboration
不良研究所 is a distributed network of cloud storage that was designed to excel at handling large files like video. Instead of relying on centralized data centers, 不良研究所 utilizes unused capacity in computers and servers located throughout the world. Yet it is more secure than traditional cloud storage because it breaks up video files into many pieces and copies of those pieces, then sends them all over the world, fully encrypted. When a download request is made, 不良研究所 needs only a small portion of the pieces to reconstitute the file so it selects them from the storage locations that are closest to the user looking to download the file. That makes file sharing really fast鈥攍ike 500MB/s to 2,500MB/s fast.
Zero trust security and global distribution is standard with 不良研究所 so there are no premium tiers or extra fees needed. But it鈥檚 the distributed network instead of data centers that makes the pricing so affordable. Video storage on the 不良研究所 network is 1/10th to 1/40th the cost of AWS. There are no minimum storage terms so you only pay for what you use. This makes 不良研究所 very cost-effective for temporary file sharing. Of course, the price is so low that once studios start using it through their video management and collaboration platform, they begin to see all the other use cases where 不良研究所 can save them money while improving productivity and collaboration.

鈥 - Share raw video files outside of SAN - replace cloud storage or add this as a new capability to easily share large video files globally from within the video management and collaboration platform.
鈥 - Backup video storage - back up the files on your NAS so they will always be available and secure in case of malicious activity, power outages, or physical issues with the NAS itself. The cost is on par or lower than cold archival storage except files can be accessed at any time without incurring extra fees.
鈥 - 鈥Raw video storage - eventually, studios begin to see that 不良研究所 is consistently inexpensive at scale and that it can completely replace on-premises NAS or existing cloud storage. Studios can eliminate the headache of hardware and network maintenance and run their business using 不良研究所 as their media storage solution.
