Cutting Through the BS of Corporate Video! Episode 8, Part 1 | EditShare & Suite Studios

Where does your video live, and can the people who need it reach it? Episode 8, Part 1 of Cutting Through the BS of Corporate Video puts two storage vendors with opposite architectures in one conversation. Jeff Herzog and Grant Carroll of EditShare come from on-premises shared storage and media management. Ryan Servant of Suite Studios is cloud native. Hosts Jeff Sengpiehl (The Post Doctor) and Eivind Sandstrand (Varde Media Solutions) ask both sides the same questions. Takeaways Storage is the layer every other part of the content factory depends on. Consumer file sync and traveling hard disks are not built for video work. Both vendors now say the same thing: leave the media where it is and bring the tools to it. Suite Studios says its file system runs natively on S3-compatible object storage in the customer's own bucket. EditShare says FLOW AI can run on a GPU added to EFS 310 and EFS 410 storage nodes. Tiering goes wrong the same way on hardware and in the cloud. Ryan Servant names where Suite is not the best choice. The storage choice depends on your workflows and business goals. No vendor can supply that for you.
