REMOTE WORKING
REMOTE WORKING
Remote working has become far more prevalent since the pandemic period. One of the challenges when working with high-quality video is that it can be fairly unpredictable and inconvenient to work with remotely, with the requirement to transfer large files from place to place.
At GB Labs, we have developed technology to achieve something that is effective, convenient and simple to use - because we understand that creative people don’t like to be told ‘this is the way we work here’ or ‘you need to change the way that you work.’
OUR APPROACH
Our intelligent approach to a seamless remote workflow means you can still use your central storage no matter where in the world you are located, and we endeavour to make that as painless as possible in the background.
The way we achieve this is by creating one true filesystem that's accelerated at end points to effectively offer the same file path around the world, whilst maintaining the kind of speeds that you need.

UNIFY HUB KEY FEATURES
ONEPATH
Identical file path, every location
Mount and use workspaces from any location with the exact same file path.
No re-linking of media is necessary when changing location from office to home or home to office.
Additionally, OnePath allows asset management to run from any location to keep MAM workflows in order.
CENTRALISED ACCESS MANAGEMENT
Auditing, single sign-on, user management and security for on premise and remote users.
Manage users with greater efficiency and security, with AD/LDAP support as well as primary storage controls to secure authentication for every login. Additionally, this provides auditing for the entire network.
HYPERACCELERATION
Self-managing block level acceleration
Allows users to seamlessly cache just the blocks of data required to play portions of clips used in the timeline. HyperAcceleration drastically reduces the time to download files and the space needed to store footage on remote users' workstations.
GB CONNECT
The entry point to your global unified file system
Our in-house built application allows users to work remotely on large format files.
This app provides the tools to get the best experience whilst maintaining security and traceability.

"We’re seeing more and more editors and digital artists back in the office, but only a few days per week on-premise, so the need for a seamless transition between on-prem and remote working is vital for efficiency.”
