BrightDrive Media File Server.
High-Performance File Sharing Expert.

The one and only file server specifically designed for shared media
environments. Loaded with unique features, functionalities, and tools that you’ll
find nowhere else.

Unlike solutions from other manufacturers who claim to solve the problem of permanent loss of performance and speed, BrightDrive permanently overcomes this industry-wide problem by eliminating the root cause: randomization. The key that Bright Technologies developed lies in maintaining optimal file arrangement on the storage - continually and always up-to-date.

Over 150 global deployments prove us right.

Maintenance-free

BrightClip ® Advanced Recording Technology is one of the features of all BrightDrive editions. This one-of-a-kind
sequence aware file recording technology eliminates system degradation through fragmentation, randomization,
and interleaved files. This makes BrightDrive the only file server with a maintenance-free file system.

The result:
•    Keep the performance at peak – always.
•    Dramatically increase uptime.
•    Maximize data security by allocating files consistently

Agnostic

BrightDrive Media File Server is agnostic regarding everything that is important to you:
•    Storage – no need for investment in new storage
•    Applications – keep your favourite best-of-breeds app’s
•    Protocol – keep your preferred fabric
•    Resolution – BrightDrive doesn’t care.
•    Format – BrightDrive works in all of them

Workflow Booster

BrightDrive provides you with the highest level of operational stability via aligned file allocations. This way BrightDrive decreases failure rate in the first place. With BrightDrive priority assignments are finally history. Dramatically increase productivity and reduce ‘time to completion’ due to real-time collaboration between all clients and no unplanned downtime - ever.

Cost Saver

With more uptime and less maintenance effort, BrightDrive decreases maintenance costs.
BrightDrive’s internal “Virtual SCSI Device” saves money on meta-data device, hardware, and maintenance.
In addition, your infrastructure will consume less power and cooling.

Perfect Overview and Easy Troubleshooting

BrightDrive comes with a unique server management & diagnostic software that ensures fast, efficient and
reliable issue isolation and resolution – even for all attached components. These troubleshooting features
enable the system administrator to quickly isolate detected errors – and reduce unpredictable performance significantly.

BrightDrive is also “transparent” for those who work with it:

•    High Transparency Monitoring Suite (not for BrightDrive Astella)
•    Secure web-based Administrative Interface

BrightDrive Editions. Simply the best file servers for media. Period.
