will
demonstrate Version 7.1 features
and FastTracker 2.5 for the first time
in Europe. New features currently in
development will also be previewed.
The latest release of the Facilis
Shared File System builds on version
7.0 which included an all-new web
console interface and shared file
system enhancements. Version 7.1
adds many additional features that will
help with the administration of large
and small environments alike.
Features include real-time and
historical bandwidth monitoring of
volumes and workstations; RAID50 and
RAID51 management through Admin
Console; preferred connection address
for multi-path networks; automatic
load balancing of clients across server
IPs; and remote client deployment
for ease of upgrades in multi-client
facilities.
With Facilis FastTracker 2.5, users
can get organised with custom ingestto-archive workflows to LTFS and disk-

based backup. Previews of
local storage assets, as well
as LTFS and network-based
assets, can be generated
and stored for easy
locating. Catalogues can
be created for separation
and security of indexed
data, and using the new
Adobe Panel for Premiere
Pro and After Effects, all
indexed data is available
directly in the Adobe
interface.
"Even

facility has hundreds of
thousands of video and
audio files that are often
very difficult to locate," said James
McKenna, VP of Marketing at Facilis
Technology. "By adopting a painless
policy of indexing and cataloguing
data with FastTracker, our customers
have increased efficiency, and
provided the creative staff with full
access to the facility library."
