![]() Maybe you’ve noticed that it completely falls apart with FCPX Libraries, Resolve, and Premiere projects or seen the performance issues with 4K whether you’re ingesting or doing any operations that require a bit of bandwidth. It’s extremely hard to set up new clients, there’s virtually no documentation, and the GUI is so inaccurate that you’d better be a command line expert to get the information you need. On top of all this, you’re completely dependent on a pair of aging Mac minis that better not fail leaving you and your team in a perpetual state of fear with no real understanding of how it all works. Worst of all, you’re sick and tired of calling in your Xsan person and having them poke around your unit for two hours only to suggest rotating it a bit so that it’s a little more in tune with the moon’s orbit. If any of this sounds familiar you’re in the right place. We know your pain we understand what you’ve been through. LumaForge was founded by people who used to integrate Xsan systems. Just like you we found it to be over-complicated, loud, inefficient, hard to setup and troubleshoot but what other options were there? Eventually we became so unhappy with the performance, lack of documentation and support we began looking for an Xsan alternative. After a few years of intense R&D, multiple prototypes and installations we developed an all Ethernet based platform optimized for real world collaborative workflow. ![]() ![]() The reality is that technology has changed a lot since Xsan came out. Fibre based solutions used to be the only things that could handle video and were the only game in town for media professionals. That changed a few years ago with the advent of 10G ethernet, and over the last few years, ethernet based NAS solutions have gone from feeling cheap, buggy, and poorly performing, to now being significantly faster, better, cheaper and easier to support than any shared storage in the industry. The ability to run multiple high performance 10G users from a box that quietly sits in the room with you that allows your team to seamlessly cut 4k (and higher) video with no beachballs is now here and we built it. We would only put our name on a solution that worked with all major creative tools (FCPX/FCP7, AVID, Resolve, Premiere, After Effects, Nuke, Pro Tools, Logic, etc.) and within multi-platform environments (Mac, Windows, Linux).
