Technology

What makes SNS EVO different.

Purpose-built for media. Not adapted from IT storage. Six reasons why broadcast and post facilities choose EVO.

01
🔥
Purpose-built for Media

Designed for editors, not IT administrators.

EVO is engineered specifically for real-time video editing — high throughput, 4K and 8K headroom, and all the features media teams actually need built in. Not a general-purpose NAS with a media plugin bolted on.

02
🔍
EVO Suite Included Free

MAM, automation, remote editing and review. All free.

Every EVO ships with ShareBrowser MAM, Slingshot automation, Outpost review and remote editing tools for unlimited users at no extra cost. Competitors charge per-seat. SNS includes it all.

03
🏠
SAN + NAS Simultaneously

Both protocols. One server.

EVO operates as SAN and NAS from the same server simultaneously — high-speed fibre-connected editors alongside standard Ethernet users, all sharing the same storage pool without separate infrastructure.

04
☁
Hybrid Cloud Ready

On-premise, cloud, or both.

EVO integrates with AWS S3 for automated backup and tiered storage. SNS Cloud VPN for secure remote access. The same EVO Suite tools work whether the server is in your rack or in the cloud.

05
🖥
Deep NLE Integration

Works the way editors work.

EVO integrates with Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Pro Tools — project locking, bin sharing, NLE export from ShareBrowser and automatic project management built in.

06
📈
Scale from Small to Petabyte

One platform from first project to petabyte.

EVO Prodigy starts small teams. EVO 8 and 16 Bay grow with the facility. EVO Cluster scales to petabytes. Same EVO Suite, same interface, same workflow tools at every scale.
