Video archive solutions with EVO
EVO works with all types of video archival systems, including nearline servers, LTFS archive, LTO tape archive, cloud services, and more.
Archive and backup solutions for video teams
EVO high-performance video editing servers facilitate a seamless media storage workflow from online to nearline to archive and back.
Nearline servers
Network-attached secondary storage scalable up to multiple petabytes.

LTO/LTFS archive

Tiered video storage with EVO Nearline
Nearline servers are the perfect intermediary between your online media server and an offline backup or archival system. This secondary tier of storage allows video production teams to free up capacity in their online media server while maintaining quickly accessible, on-site backups of their media and projects on the nearline system.
Purpose-built for creative media production, EVO Nearline servers come with all of EVO’s workflow tools included. Pair your primary video production server with an EVO Nearline system for a fast, reliable, and cost-effective tiered storage workflow.
For a high availability (HA) scale-out storage infrastructure, EVO Nearline can be configured in a variety of clustered modes to accommodate multiple petabytes in a single namespace.
I never have to worry about the one thing that keeps things running smoothly—how we’re storing and accessing our files.
Central Post LA follows strict security protocols to keep their media on-site, using EVO for their online production server and EVO Nearline for secondary storage.
90% of our freelance staff work on projects outside the office. We share files with them using Dropbox. EVO ensures they have the most up-to-date media files without manual intervention.
Using EVO’s built-in automation features, Maday Productions runs daily cloud storage backups from EVO to Dropbox.
Cloud archive with EVO shared storage
Backing up your media to cloud storage can provide an easily accessible tier of off-site media redundancy. If archiving media to the cloud is part of your video department’s workflow, EVO includes built-in tools to automate your team’s recurring cloud archive and backup tasks.
Slingshot, EVO’s included automations engine, lets you schedule recurring backup and replication jobs from your EVO server to cloud storage. Set your backup schedule once and enjoy a low-maintenance cloud archive solution that works effortlessly with your EVO video editing server.
LTO and LTFS archive
EVO is purpose-built for professional content creators, which means that it is built to work with the technology that media production teams use in their workflow. That includes LTO and LTFS tape archival solutions. EVO is compatible with LTFS and LTO tape archive technology to allow freedom and flexibility in your archival workflow.
For a truly seamless experience, EVO integrates with StorageDNA media archiving solutions. This integration with StorageDNA allows users to see the status of archived footage, archive media files, search, preview, and restore video from the archive all without leaving EVO’s included ShareBrowser media asset manager.
The ShareBrowser integration with StorageDNA works great. Our old footage is easily searchable in ShareBrowser. We preview the proxy files, find the exact clip we need, restore it, and bring it into our projects without hassle.
Grand Rapids Community College manages decades worth of archived footage with ShareBrowser and StorageDNA.
