Facilis HUB FLASHPoint 24S SSD Shared Storage Server

Facilis HUB FLASHPoint 24S SSD Shared Storage Server

The Facilis HUB FLASHPoint 24S SSD Shared Storage Server is a 2U flash-storage system engineered for collaborative video editing and post-production. Its 24 SSDs operate through 12Gb SAS controllers and deliver a 6GB/sec benchmark, supporting demanding multi-user workflows from compressed 4K editing through uncompressed UHD finishing.

Designed for post-production facilities, broadcasters, production studios, and creative teams, the FLASHPoint 24S combines high aggregate throughput with the Facilis Shared File System. Virtual Volumes provide centrally managed project storage that behaves like local storage at connected workstations, helping editors and other users collaborate across applications and operating systems without relying on conventional NAS workflows.

The system supports dual-port Fibre Channel and high-speed Ethernet connectivity, allowing facilities to build direct-attached or switched environments around existing infrastructure. Facilis Console provides centralized storage and permissions management, while available expansion slots support additional connectivity. Current manufacturer documentation confirms 24TB, 48TB, and 96TB FLASHPoint 24S capacities and detailed performance ratings across professional production codecs.
