Qumulo Works With Adobe to Help M&E Organisations Leverage Collaborative Workflows in Cloud

Qumulo, Inc. is working with Adobe, Inc. to help M&E organisations leverage collaborative workflows in the cloud.

Cloud-based workflows have become apriority with creative professionals who are working from home and accessing files from remote locations. Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, in tandem with Qumulo’s file services, enable collaborative teams to create and edit video footage using cloud storage with the same levels of performance, access and functionality as workstations in the studio.

“Premiere Pro and After Effects are industry-leading applications and give creative professionals the tools they need for better storytelling,” said Sue Skidmore, head, partner relations, Adobe Video. “Qumulo’s hybrid file software gives content creators the performance, scale, and analytics they need to collaborate efficiently in the face of tight deadlines, even from remote locations.“

Premiere Pro is often used together with After Effects on creative projects for film, TV, and web content, providing a tightly integrated post-production workflow. Demanding workflows require performance hybrid file storage that can support real-time data sharing and collaboration across on-prem and in the cloud.

“Qumulo’s file data software and cloud services enable media and entertainment organisations to effortlessly connect applications with the data those apps need without disruption of production schedules or need to re-architect any apps. This means fast and seamless collaboration, smooth playback and real-time editing of video footage, even when multiple editors are working with multiple streams of video,” said Barry Russell, SVP and GM, cloud, Qumulo.

Accelerated performance, limitless scaling, real-time visibility
The company meets the demands of tdata-driven M&E organisations for massive content production and storage and empowers worldwide collaboration in the cloud. It is optimised for demanding creative workflows with many editors working simultaneously.

The firm’s real-time analytics monitor performance, capacity, and usage of the entire file environment both on-prem and in the cloud. They provide administrators with the insights they need to manage issues proactively and to make well-informed planning decisions.

Benefits of solution for Adobe’s Creative Cloud video apps include:

• Accelerated performance and productivity;

• Boosted cloud compute power to speed production;

• Simple scalability to support performance and capacity demands;

• Workflow resilience and enterprise content protection;

• Improved business efficiencies with real-time analytics.

“Moving editorial and production workflows to the cloud has taken on renewed urgency as media organisations strive to meet tight deadlines with geographically dispersed talent and remote talent,” said Tom Coughlin, president, Coughlin Associates. “This compelling solution from Qumulo for Adobe apps enables collaboration in the cloud for content production, editing and finishing – the timing could not be more perfect.“

“Media organisations can use Qumulo’s software to easily spin up production workloads, using either Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Google Cloud, to create a studio in the cloud, on demand, with all the capabilities of Premiere Pro and After Effects,” added Russell. “Adobe’s Digital Experience team continues to lead the market in innovation and services, as exemplified by the recent unveiling of its new Productions feature set for Premiere Pro. We are gratified to work with Adobe and to serve our customers with the best tools to achieve business success.“
