DigitalGlue (Booth 402) will be showing visitors to the SMPTE 2018 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition its recently launched creative.space, a new concept in media storage that offers an affordable alternative to traditional high-end storage solutions. Offered as an On-Premise Managed Storage (OPMS) service, creative.space gives broadcasters, production companies, and post houses – or anyone requiring media storage, a high-capacity platform with thorough and inclusive 24/7 monitoring, technical support, and next-day repairs — all available at an affordable fixed monthly rate. Company executives, including the developers of creative.space, will discuss the benefits of the solution and demonstrate how it works.

“SMPTE offers a great opportunity to showcase creative.space because it’s the world’s premier forum for professionals from all segments of the media and entertainment industry to explore the next great technical achievement,” says Sean Busby, DigitalGlue President. “And creative.space fits the bill in so many ways! The demand for 4K, HDR, and IMF delivery has driven creative and technical professionals within the broadcast and postproduction space to search for innovative and cost-effective storage solutions. creative.space provides the hardware necessary to eliminate storage bottlenecks, stretch budgets, and provide the performance, scale, and reliability they need.”
