Facilis HUB 8.4 Boosts Shared Storage and Remote Workflows | IBC2026

Any other things you want to highlight? Oh, of course.

So

now you see our administration here.

So you see our hub client console here.

You'll see that all of the connections are multi-link.

Now, once again, I did that simply by adding a second link to the switch and automatically it improved my connection speed.

And so I can utilize older infrastructure, older switches to increase speed to each individual workstation.

And for our customers that are on older infrastructure and don't have the money or the time to put in a lot of investment into that, it's really going to help them to increase the speed to each individual workstation.

We also have something new called alias volumes.

And alias volume is a volume that was set up as a folder within another volume.

Now, that's sort of normal to do if you have network shares, SMB, things like that.

You can always share a folder out.

But these are actual physical volumes that are on the desktop as local hard drives.

And so a folder becomes a volume on the desktop, and it can be permissioned separately from the main volume.

So I have... my access control, my access rules, my policies that can be added.

And those are all independent of the target or the main volume it came from.

So this is going to help our customers a lot when it comes to, especially Avid workflows, because the Avid Media Files folder needs to be at the root level of the drive that's in the desktop.

So I can take a folder with an Avid Media Files folder in it and put that in the desktop.

It's going to work just great for your Avid workflow.

And I can still keep all of those projects in the same large file system on the target or the main media volume.

So that

really helps out and it's something our customers have been asking for for a while and we're finally able to deliver that in 8.4. Other things we have in 8.4 include the ability to add an ID provider for intra-ID and basically OAuth user accounts on the cloud.

So many of our customers have wanted to do a single sign-on from the cloud from a workstation that's remote or even from a workstation that's on-prem and have two-factor authentication.

Yeah.

So they want to be able to send a message to the phone or to an email to authenticate them before they log into the server.
