Roehampton Uni Selects Facilis Terrablock 24D

News Image
A Facilis Terrablock 24D shared storage system has been selected by the University of Roehampton's Digital Film and Media Department as part of an upgrade to streamline its post production workflow.

Connected via 1Gb Ethernet to 16 Mac workstations running Apple® Final Cut Pro® X and Adobe® Creative Suite 6™, the TerraBlock, which was installed by reseller Tyrell, now acts as a centralised hub for housing student AV criticism, AV dissertation and BA film projects.
University of Roehampton Technical Manager, Ian Shand, said: "Our program grows every year, and with TerraBlock, we now have one central location where we can put everything and know it's secure.
"Continuing to use individual hard drives for storage as we had in the past would be costly and inefficient. TerraBlock not only gives us a fail-safe, but also removes time-consuming management tasks; the less time I spend managing tasks, the more I can focus on the students."
All 95 students enrolled in the Digital Film and Media Program are given access to TerraBlock. They're able to complete and store projects on the system simultaneously, without the University incurring per-seat licensing fees traditionally associated with alternative shared storage solutions. Once completed, projects are submitted as ProRes 4:22 files for evaluation by faculty and stored in an archive media space on TerraBlock.
Mr Shand said: "We had a strict budget, and out of all the solutions we looked at, TerraBlock offered the biggest bang for our buck. I loved the amount of storage we'd get and how easy it is to use. Our students will now be able to quickly log on to any workstation and pick up where they left off on a project."
