LOS ANGELES — OpenDrives (https://opendrives.com) is now delivering OpenDrives Anywhere, an in-place private cloud model that enables customers with OpenDrives NAS solutions to work on the same project from multiple locations, without compromises in performance.
With COVID-19 corporate shut downs and a massive shift to remote or furloughed workforce, the post production industry and their teams have been among the hardest hit. Most businesses have already built out costly physical infrastructures to meet the intense demands of content pipelines. OpenDrives Anywhere provides remote workers with the capabilities and performance necessary to carry out workflows efficiently, without compromises. Every OpenDrives shared storage solution can deliver this capability and remote workflow as is for existing customers as their own in-place private cloud.
"Opendrives was founded by veteran Hollywood film editors, colorists, data engineers to studio heads, and everything in-between,” says Sean Lee, chief product and strategy officer at OpenDrives. “This gives us a unique understanding of the pain points teams are facing and the critical demand for a ‘new normal’ to keep our industry alive now and into the future. We’ve done extensive testing to ensure OpenDrives Anywhere meets the same level of performance customers deserve and need - right here, right now."
Nothing changes from a workflow perspective except physical proximity. With simple adjustments, remote control of existing enterprise workstations can be extended via a secure connection. HP’s ZCentral Remote Boost (formerly RGS) software will facilitate remote access over secure connection to workstations, or Teradici can provide both dedicated external hardware and software solutions for this purpose, giving teams the ability to support collaborative workflows at very low cost. OpenDrives can also get teams quickly set up in under two hours on your corporate VPN and under 24 hours without.
