Case Study: Films@59 achieves flexible, efficient shared storage with Avid Technology ISIS 5000

Films at 59 Chooses Avid NEXIS | E5 for a New Era of Complex Production

Films@59, a U.K.-based post-production house, faced the challenge of handling growing volumes of footage while keeping workflows flexible, fast, and cost-effective. To support both Avid Media Composer and non-Avid tools like Final Cut Pro, the company tested Avid ISIS 5000 shared storage as it looked for a platform-agnostic solution that could improve editing efficiency.

Avid Technology implemented ISIS 5000 as a single storage source for mixed editing environments, allowing Films@59 to move media more easily across systems and reconfigure workspaces on the fly. The result was higher productivity, faster project open/save times, and the ability to manage a major HD production with about 40 hours of ingested media without difficulty, all at a lower price point.
