The Atom · File

File storage that keeps up with the edit.

Shared file storage for editing, finishing and collaborative media work — served over SMB and NFS with full POSIX support, accelerated by NVMe, and sitting on the same self-healing cluster as your archive.

Where it fits

Built for high-bitrate, shared work.

Media file workloads are unforgiving: multiple editors pulling high-bitrate streams, render farms hammering the same directories, finishing suites that cannot drop frames. The Atom's file service is designed for exactly that profile.

NVMe accelerates metadata and active projects, while intelligent data placement keeps throughput steady as more of the team piles in. Because file and object share one namespace, finished work moves to the archive tier without leaving the platform.

Typical file use cases

  • Shared editing and finishing workspaces over SMB and NFS, with full POSIX support.
  • Project and asset shares for post-production teams.
  • Render, transcode and QC farms working against shared storage.
  • Nearline parking for active projects between sessions.
  • Watch folders feeding automation and delivery pipelines.

Honest about fit

The Atom's file tier is built for shared media work: editing, nearline, project storage, automation. If your workflow needs an extreme low-latency SAN for uncompressed 4K finishing, we will tell you — and design the Atom to sit behind it as the platform everything else runs on. That is what turnkey means: the right design, not the biggest invoice.
