Extend Jellyfish Performance
All the Way to the Workstation
Purpose-built ATTO connectivity helps creative teams get more from OWC Jellyfish shared storage across demanding collaborative media workflows.
OWC Jellyfish gives creative teams a high-performance shared-storage foundation for editing, finishing, color, VFX and other demanding production environments. ATTO extends that performance to the workstations and servers accessing Jellyfish with connectivity engineered for sustained, high-bandwidth media workflows.
Together, OWC and ATTO help create a more complete data path—from shared storage to the systems where creative work actually happens.
Shared Storage
Is Only Part of the
Performance Equation
Modern production teams depend on shared storage to keep editors, colorists, VFX artists and other creative professionals working from the same content.
But the performance of that environment depends on more than the storage system itself.
Between Jellyfish and every workstation is a network connection responsible for moving increasingly large media files at the speed the workflow demands. When that connection cannot keep pace, the workstation may spend valuable time waiting for data—even when the storage and compute resources are capable of more.
ATTO and OWC have worked together to optimize this critical part of the workflow, helping Jellyfish users maintain high-performance connectivity between shared storage and client systems.
Optimized Connectivity for OWC Jellyfish
Connect High-Performance Workstations to the Performance Behind Jellyfish
ATTO ThunderLink® Thunderbolt™ 5 Adapters
Bring high-speed Ethernet connectivity to Thunderbolt-equipped systems.
ATTO ThunderLink Thunderbolt 5 adapters extend high-performance Ethernet connectivity to Mac laptops, Mac Studio and other compatible Thunderbolt-equipped systems.
This gives creative professionals the flexibility to connect powerful desktop and mobile systems to Jellyfish without limiting the shared-storage experience to systems with internal PCIe expansion.
Best suited for:
Mac Studio, professional Mac laptops and other Thunderbolt-equipped creative systems.
More Than Bandwidth
Connectivity Engineered Around the Workflow
Raw interface speed alone does not determine how a storage network behaves under real production workloads.
ATTO connectivity incorporates technologies designed to help maintain consistent data movement when applications place sustained demands on the network.
Advanced Data Streaming™
ATTO Advanced Data Streaming technology provides latency management and controlled acceleration designed for high-bandwidth applications and consistent data transfers.
ATTO360™ Networking
ATTO360 Networking gives users additional visibility and control over ATTO Ethernet connectivity with tools for performance tuning, monitoring and diagnostics.
Together, these technologies help organizations move beyond simply connecting a workstation to the network and toward optimizing how that connection performs within the workflow.
Built for Collaborative Media Production
Production environments rarely place a single demand on shared storage. Multiple users, applications and systems may be accessing large media assets at the same time.
OWC Jellyfish and ATTO connectivity support production teams working with high-bandwidth media, including 4K, 8K and beyond.
Editorial
Give editors high-speed access to shared project media without requiring content to remain isolated on local workstation storage.
Color & Finishing
Connect high-performance finishing and color systems to the centralized media assets required for bandwidth-intensive post-production.
VFX & Motion Graphics
Provide creative workstations with access to the large source files, renders and project data used throughout effects-heavy workflows.
Collaborative Production
Enable multiple creative systems to work from a common Jellyfish shared-storage environment while maintaining a consistent network architecture.
High Performance Across Mixed-Platform Environments
Creative environments are rarely built around a single type of workstation.
Jellyfish users may work across Mac, Windows and Linux systems, each with different connectivity requirements. ATTO provides options for both internal PCIe-equipped systems and Thunderbolt-equipped platforms, allowing organizations to build connectivity around the needs of the workstation without changing the shared-storage foundation.
The result is a more flexible production environment in which the storage architecture stays consistent while individual systems connect using the interface that best fits their platform.
Build the Connection Around the Workflow
From Shared Storage to the Creative Desktop
A high-performance storage environment works best when every part of the data path is designed to support the workload.
With OWC Jellyfish providing the shared-storage foundation and ATTO providing optimized connectivity to client systems, production teams can build around the needs of their editors, artists and applications rather than around connectivity limitations.
High-Bandwidth Connectivity
Connect demanding workstations and servers with 25GbE and 100GbE ATTO FastFrame Ethernet options.
Thunderbolt Flexibility
Extend high-speed Jellyfish connectivity to compatible Mac and Thunderbolt-equipped systems with ATTO ThunderLink.
Consistent Data Movement
Use ATTO Advanced Data Streaming technology to help manage latency and maintain consistent transfers across demanding workflows.
Greater Visibility
Use ATTO360 Networking to tune, monitor and diagnose ATTO Ethernet connections.
Platform Flexibility
Support Mac, Windows and Linux environments with connectivity options designed for mixed-platform production teams.
