NAB Show New York 2025: Facilis Showcases HUB 8.3.3, FastCache Accelerator, and FastTracker 3.8.3

Facilis Technology Inc. is set to unveil its latest advancements in shared storage and media asset management at NAB Show New York 2025, spotlighting HUB 8.3.3, the FastCache Accelerator, and FastTracker 3.8.3. These solutions are designed to empower creative teams with faster workflows, smarter metadata, and scalable infrastructure.

FastTracker 3.8.3 brings a new customizable UI with layouts optimized for logging, metadata tagging and simple viewing. Thumbnails are scalable and a larger player window improves high quality source or proxy footage previews.

FastTracker integrates with Google’s unified AI platform, Vertex AI, bringing powerful new capabilities to media indexing. Users can automatically tag objects, logos, text, signage, and spoken word across hundreds of languages. With the addition of DaVinci Resolve Workflow Integration, including metadata import and proxy attachment, FastTracker becomes a centralized hub for search, discovery, and access across production environments.

Facilis is also showing their unique integration with Strada, offering advanced peer-to-peer technology for creative teams to connect and manage project data remotely without the traditional reliance on cloud storage. Facilis HUB server is currently the only on-prem shared media storage platform that supports the Strada Agent software directly (https://strada.tech/).

“NAB NY gives us the chance to connect with regional and national content creators and demonstrate how our tools solve real-world workflow challenges,” said Jim McKenna, CMO, Facilis Technology. “With FastCache, HUB enhancements, the Strada integration and FastTracker’s new usability features and robust AI integration, we have a lot to talk about this year.”

Expanded Storage Options Facilis HUB servers now support higher capacities-up to 720TB in a 4U chassis and 1.4PB in an 8U form factor-ideal for facilities seeking robust online and nearline disk-based storage. The company is also introducing cost-effective nearline units, starting at 384TB, available with the upcoming 8.3.3 release.

Thunderbolt 5 Performance Boost In partnership with Atto Technology, Facilis will support new Thunderbolt 5 adapters for high-speed media transfers. The ThunderLink TLFC-5642 (64Gbps FC) and ThunderLink NS 5102 (100Gb Ethernet) are optimized for uncompressed 8K video editing, delivering exceptional throughput when paired with the Facilis shared file system.

“Our partnerships are a cornerstone of Facilis innovation,” said Shane Rodbourn, CEO, Facilis Technology. “Collaborating with industry leaders allows us to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving demands of high-performance media workflows.”
