OpenDrives is a global provider of enterprise-scale, software-defined data storage solutions. Our technology is designed to power the most demanding workflows—on premises and in the cloud. Our commitment to open standards and protocols facilitates ease of integrations, making it simpler for you to access, use, move, and protect your data.

Founded in 2011 by media and entertainment professionals who endeavored to solve data storage challenges for their own creative projects, OpenDrives develops solutions that are purpose-built for high-intensity video and imaging workflows. Our Atlas Core software and Ultra Hardware Platform provide the performance, flexibility, and scalability needed for all types of digital media workflows, from video ingest, transcoding, and rendering to editorial, VXF, distribution, and archive.

Performance: In diverse multi-user content creation environments, OpenDrives solutions delivers performance that can increase production workflows by up to 10 times faster than other storage providers. While most vendors are focused on capacity, OpenDrives is focused on performance and removing the bottleneck in media workflows so teams can collaborate in real-time on 4k, 6k, and even 8k projects in a shared storage environment. Product features such as intelligent shared caching and prefetching dramatically accelerate workflows, so you can open projects in a fraction of the time.

Simplicity: Easily configure storage infrastructure, connect on-premises to S3-based public cloud resources, automate system reports and notifications, and maintain maximum visibility—all through our single pane of glass management console.

Flexibility: Atlas Core software and the Ultra Hardware Platform deliver the storage capabilities to meet and exceed the demands of collaborative video editing, delivering files where and how customers need it. Benefit from project sharing and locking, extensive native format support, and support for online and offline workflows.

Scalability: Deploy a storage solution that is designed to accommodate any workflow requiring extreme performance (scale up) or extended resources (scale out).

Enterprise-tested: From major production studios and broadcasters to eSports and cutting-edge content creators, customers across all segments of the media and entertainment industry rely on our solutions to power resource-intensive workflows across large-scale datasets and without degradation of speed or performance.
