How Aframe helped Thumbs Up
When Thumbs Up Productions moved editing in-house for a new
production, they needed to think carefully about a secure and reliable
back-up strategy for their rushes.
Previous projects had relied on an external edit house’s storage to provide secondary back up. “In the event of a fire or break-in at our offices, at least our media would be safe” commented producer TJ Sherbrooke.
Thumbs Up selected Aframe for storage back up for a new six hour medical documentary series, for the Biography Channel. The Canon XF305 shoot generated a lot of high resolution media that needed to be quickly ingested and stored on Aframe's cloud storage network. Being able to retrieve the media easily and quickly in the event of a problem was also important for Thumbs Up in the event of a problem.
Aframe takes the security of data extremely seriously. Data is held within a multi-layered security system to ensure that only people organisations approve are able to access the footage. Located on Aframe's own private cloud network, footage is backed up twice in separate locations 400 miles apart, behind extremely tight security.
