“We’re extremely excited to partner with cunoFS and showcase their groundbreaking solution on the show floor. cunoFS delivers a truly accessible storage pool for post-production, VFX, and animation workflows, without the limitations of proprietary sharding. This means stored content can also be easily accessed by other workflows that don’t require cunoFS. Its intelligent caching makes it possible to mount cost-effective object storage on Mac, Windows, and Linux workstations, allowing users to work directly on cloud storage with Premiere or Resolve, whether on physical or cloud-based workstations at the highest possible speeds. All of this is achieved while maintaining file integrity and adopting the next big step in remote production.”
