Burbank, CA (November 3, 2014) – Archion Technologies today announced an impactful trade-up program offering as much as $10,000 credit to be used towards the investment in the EditStor shared media storage platform. Media industry professionals who are looking to replace their older shared storage systems with a state of the art shared media storage platform have through the end of the year to take advantage of this exciting program.
With over 15 years of proven media workflow and network storage experience, Archion EditStor delivers these video and audio professionals the greatest combination of performance, scalability, interoperability, manageability and affordability. Because of this competitive advantage, EditStor can be uniquely used for a broad number of media workflows, including but not limited to Avid Media Composer, Avid Pro Tools, Adobe Creative Cloud and Anywhere, Apple Final Cut Pro, Autodesk Smoke and Flame, and Black Magic Resolve.

As a result, EditStor offers post production facilities, broadcaster networks, VFX studios, creative agencies and other such organizations an unmatched shared media storage solution.
“Having worked closely with post production professionals for nearly a decade, investments in shared storage infrastructure are looked at very carefully” said Dan Stern, Archion’s Vice President of Sales, of Archion. “Being able to offer as much as $10,000 for old, risky and even unusable gear is very exciting for me and, I am confident, for these facilities as well.
Media Sharing: Making it Easy and Affordable
Designed specifically for media workflows by industry workflow experts, EditStor has made media sharing among post production professionals easier and more affordable. Leveraging the power of standards based Ethernet protocols, as well as Archion’s advanced intellectual property, Editstor delivers unparalleled functionality and scalability.

EditStor can now directly connect to 16 Mac, Windows and Linux OS-based clients and to an unlimited number through standard Ethernet switch architecture, without any intrusive drivers, installers or client licenses can now directly.
EditStor delivers unmatched intelligence and functionality and as such can uniquely meet the growing demands by media workflow professionals.
