The product
Meet The Atom.
File and object storage for media workflows, delivered as a single, fully managed system — built on Ceph and standard Dell hardware, designed around your workflow and supported by one team.
Enterprise storage has become expensive, complex and restrictive. The Atom is our answer: no proprietary hardware, no proprietary software licences, no forced refresh cycles — a supported product with the economics and openness of open source.
Turnkey means turnkey
- Designed around your workflow — capacity from ~100 TB to multiple petabytes.
- Hardware validated, built and integrated by us; owned by you.
- 24×7 monitoring — we usually see problems before you do.
- Upgrades planned, tested and performed by our engineers.
- The Custom Solution Management Interface makes servicing and monitoring the solution a breeze.
- One number to call. One team owns the outcome, end to end.
One platform, three ways in
File. Object. Block.
Same cluster, same team, standard protocols — pick the access your workflow speaks.
File storage
High-performance shared file storage for editing, finishing and shared media workspaces — over SMB and NFS with full POSIX support, accelerated by NVMe.
File use casesObject storage
Standards-compliant S3 for archive, content libraries, MAM integration, cloud workflows and AI pipelines — millions of objects, open formats.
Object use casesBlock storage
Resilient block volumes for the systems around your content: virtualisation, databases and playout infrastructure on the same platform.
Block use casesUnder the hood
Reliable by architecture, not by promise.
Data is stored in multiple copies or erasure-coded across the cluster. When a drive or server fails, The Atom rebuilds automatically and carries on. Hardware failure is an expected event, not an emergency.
Custom Management Interface, makes handling Ceph a breeze.
Our custom management interface makes handling the Ceph cluster a breeze. Need to upgrade? Need to see where a hardware error lies? Need to profile performance? Everything is available at a touch of a button. Of course — you may never want to see any of this, leaving the cluster management to our engineers, or you may wish to hook event notifications into your monitoring systems. Everything is possible.
“We spent decades designing and supporting storage for broadcasters, post facilities, sports organisations and archives. The Atom expects large files, millions of objects and high-throughput editing — because those are the environments we came from.”
— Jonathan Morgan & Peter Watling, founders
Built for media
By media people, for media people.
Editing, archive, content management, cloud integration and AI workloads run against the same platform, under one namespace. AI, backup and general enterprise workloads run well on The Atom; media is who it was built for.
And if you ever leave us? Your hardware is yours. Your data sits in open formats, served over standard protocols. Off-boarding is documented, not discovered. Read the exit promise →
Beyond storage
AI Consultancy
The same senior team helps organisations put AI to work: strategy, agentic automation, digital transformation, technology review and fractional CTO support.
See how we helpPractical, not hype
The last thing a business needs is AI slop and more screen time. What it needs is trusted, often invisible technology that removes legwork so people can focus on the work that matters. That is the standard we hold our consultancy to — and our storage.

Why we built on Ceph — and named it on the front page
Most vendors hide what's under the hood. We put it on the homepage: Ceph, the open-source storage platform behind CERN and 10,000+ deployments worldwide. Here's why.
