Facilis, a supplier of cost-effective, high performance shared storage systems and dynamic workflow solutions for the film, broadcast and AV markets, has delivered and commissioned a 48TB TerraBlock 24D shared storage system to Norwegian film, TV and commercial post house, Oslo Post Company.

For this creative post house, file access and organisation are paramount to its daily operations. The creative team is tasked with delivering post-production services for a large volume of films, commercials, reality television shows and documentaries. In order to get each project out the door in a timely fashion, the facility s crew relies on an extensive arsenal of post-production tools. Acting as a central pool from which employees can quickly save and share project files, TerraBlock has been a huge boon to collaboration and productivity within the company since it came on-stream.

There s a constant influx of work here, said facility owner Theodor Kristensen. So many different editors and colourists are contributing to projects simultaneously, so it s critical that we keep everything catalogued in one place where our team can instantly access it. That s where TerraBlock comes in. There s no way we d be able to do what we do without an important system like TerraBlock.

Home to an eclectic mix of post-production gear, the facility houses six Avid Media Composer suites for editorial and an Assimilate Scratch workstation for colour grading, as well as Autodesk Flame and Flame Assist bays, workstations with both The Foundry Nuke and Autodesk 3ds Max, a BlackMagic Design DaVinci Resolve suite, and other multi-use machines housing both Scratch and Adobe Creative Cloud. All of these systems are connected to TerraBlock via a combination of 1 and 10Gb Ethernet.

Even when managing a full slate of HD and 2K projects with several systems running full speed, the TerraBlock continues to perform seamlessly for Oslo Post Company. Kristensen explained, No matter how much we throw at it, TerraBlock runs smoothly; there s never any lag. And, even if there s a problem, Facilis support team is quick to respond, help us figure out where we went wrong and get us back on track.
