What is the Jellyfish?

The Jellyfish is the most advanced shared storage solution ever created. By implementing the underlying technology of our larger ShareStation line in new ways we have packaged extreme performance into a carry-on sized box that lets you collaborate anywhere. It was originally designed to allow a small group of editors the ability to quickly and easily share projects in on location edit suites (hotel rooms), however between our two models the applications are endless including VFX, DIT, VR Workflow, and video labs to name a few.

What sort of performance can I expect?

Speed: The Jellyfish HD and Classroom are capable of generating over 1600 MB/s of total bandwidth shared out to up to 14 users depending on your model. The Jellyfish 4K is capable of generating the same 1600 MB/s across a mix of 10GbE and 1GbE connections while simultaneously ingesting over a 10GbE connection with no interruptions in playback.

Low-Latency: Often overlooked but just as important as speed is latency. When you press the spacebar how responsive is your storage? With the Jellyfish there is virtually no latency. The feeling you get with our system is similar to working from an SSD. We hate spinning beachballs just as much as you do.

Security: Every Jellyfish is can sustain the failure of 1 hard drive (out of 8) without losing any data. The failed drive can easily be replaced in the field, with little downtime.

Isn't networked storage hard to set up?

We are editors that have designed a product for editors, that's why we have done everything possible to make the Jellyfish function like direct attached storage. It will arrive to you preconfigured, then each client computer will download and run our ShareClient app to mount and connect to the Jellyfish. Once you've mounted the first time the Jellyfish can auto-mount every time after that. We've even built some cool features into the app we thought were useful, like a button that unlocks FCPX libraries and relinks missing proxies. Additionally the Jellyfish works with Spotlight Index and Search which makes finding your media a breeze.

With the ShareStation, you no longer need to be a prisoner of the IT department and there is no need to configure or optimize your unit before editing, we've done it for you.

Goodbye Sneakernet

Do you have a closet full of external hard drives labeled with neon gaffer tape? Does every computer at your office have a cute little RAID connected up to it with a blinking blue light? Stop managing dozens of hard drives, now there's a better way.

It Just Works

We build solutions, not puzzle pieces. Every product we sell had to perform flawlessly in our lab before we would even think about selling it to you. That lab is a deathtrap of cables and wires, optical and copper, connected to a dozen different machines, Windows, Linux, and Macs with the latest operating systems, and the most ancient operating systems. Updates to NLE's, drivers with bugs, permissions issues, faulty switches, power failures, you name it we've put our systems through it. It seems obvious to us, if you're going to sell something it needs to work. Our lab and our commitment to real world testing is the reason why everything we sell just works when it hits your facility.

Another great thing about the lab (tours available weekdays only) is that when you have a problem, there's a damn good chance we've already come across it, banged on it, and come out the other side with a solution which will be posted in our support community waiting for you. There is no "on paper" at LumaForge, we're in the trenches getting dirty so you don't have to.
