SNS Announces EVO OS v.5.8

Studio Network Solutions(SNS), provider of shared storage solutions for video and audio workgroups, has announced a major upgrade to its EVO shared storage server with EVO OS v.5.8 and ShareBrowser v.4.3.

These latest releases include enhanced networking capabilities, exclusive features for Final Cut Pro X workflows, server-side indexing and transcoding, and a host of other improvements to the EVO operating system and included ShareBrowser asset management software.

Among the major feature upgrades, EVO's networking capabilities have been extended with the addition of Virtual Switch. By enabling EVO's Ethernet ports to function as an Ethernet switch, the new Virtual Switch feature allows each connected workstation to communicate with EVO while also maintaining communication paths to other connected workstations as well as external network shares/devices. 

Ryan Stoutenborough, President of SNS, said: "We've purpose-built a more convenient and sensible FCPX workflow than the typical NFS or Xsan solution.
"We believe this one new feature alone makes EVO v.5.8 the most editor-friendly network storage solution for Final Cut Pro X on the market."

New in EVO Version 5.8 – Hardware and Software features include:

Final Cut Pro X Library Locking
Virtual Switch
Increased support for Cloud Workspaces 
Read-only NAS shares for LDAP/AD Groups
Server-side transcoding for ShareBrowser proxies (Preview feature)
Server-side indexing (Preview feature)

EVO v.5.8 begins shipping on new systems next month, and can be ordered in 4 bay, 8 bay, and 16 bay configurations. Contact SNS for further information and pricing.
