Blackmagic Design Cloud Store Ultra 48TB 100G Network Flash Storage

The Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra 48TB (DWCLDG/CLDULT048) is an extremely high-performance network storage solution engineered for the most demanding film, television, and broadcast post-production environments. At its core is a parallel flash memory architecture built from twelve M.2 NVMe modules arranged in a 12-card RAID 0 core, delivering the sustained throughput needed to feed multiple editors, colorists, and VFX artists working on high-resolution media simultaneously. Packed into a compact 1RU rackmount chassis with server-style front-to-rear cooling, the Cloud Store Ultra brings data-center-class speed and capacity to edit suites, on-set carts, and machine rooms.

What sets the Cloud Store Ultra apart is its dual 100G QSFP28 Ethernet connectivity. Each 100G port can be assigned an independent IP address and subnet, allowing the two networks to operate completely separately for up to 200G of aggregate bandwidth and load balancing, so recording and editing traffic never interfere with one another. The unit supports NFS and SMB file sharing for up to 200 simultaneous users across Mac, Windows, and Linux workstations, while RAID 5 distributed parity adds data protection and dual redundant internal power supplies keep critical productions running.

Integrated Blackmagic Cloud Sync lets facilities replicate and distribute media globally, and the bundled Blackmagic Proxy Generator Lite automatically creates editing proxies as files land on the store. A built-in 2.2-inch color LCD with control knob handles configuration, while HDMI and SDI monitor outputs provide a real-time visual dashboard of storage usage, bandwidth, connected users, sync status, and system health. For studios scaling shared storage without sacrificing speed or reliability, the Cloud Store Ultra 48TB is a purpose-built backbone for collaborative workflows.
