IABM Journal - Changing the Landscape of Modern Shared Media Storage

Post pandemic, working patterns of the broadcasting industry changed beyond recognition.

Employing permanent home or remote workers, who may never actually go to an office, is the new norm and increasingly companies are also collaborating with freelancers and third parties, for their media production needs.

With this outsourcing approach comes a fresh set of new challenges, such as how third parties gain access to specific files and media assets, securely, whilst also monitoring use?

GB Labs believes that traditional on-premise shared storage, which has always been about teams being ‘in the building’ or office, is not suitable where third party and freelancers are employed. It offers the functionality needed to address hybrid and remote working needs, to centrally manage storage, that has the ability to provide fast secure storage to third parties.
