Facilis FastTracker Asset Management
Simple Media Asset Management and Proxy Generation. with features and integrations that streamline the process of ingest, tagging, access, and archive.
Using FastTracker, you can develop a custom workflow without the complexity and cost of traditional MAM systems. Easy to learn and quick to use, you'll find this asset tracker to be a huge benefit in almost any workflow
Even small facilities can have hundreds of terabytes of files across multiple hard drives, network locations, and tier 1 shared storage. Managing the access and location of these files can be a challenge, wasting time that should be used for production. FastTracker is a media asset management system that is designed to be a fast way to index, catalog and find your video, audio, and still image files across Facilis volumes, network drives, and local storage.
New in FastTracker 3.5 are file movement and archive profiles, enabling the user to copy assets to archive locations, other online locations or move from ingest location to project volumes. Duplicate file tracking will find and reallocate the location of files that have been moved outside FastTracker, and show multiple file locations on the same record for locating alternate copies and file cleanup. Integration with Facilis Object Cloud and Object LTO is complete, showing the status and storage location of all archived files on Cloud and LTO, and enabling simple drag and drop restore from archive locations. Proxy on demand features are new, including proxy to cloud and proxy to LTO for keeping lower bitrate versions of the master footage, or making proxies available through the cloud to remote locations.
Indexing can be automatic on a global scale, by watch folder for specific catalogs, or manual with drag-and-drop of folders. Catalogs can be assigned permissions just like Facilis virtual volumes, and asset records can be assigned to one or more catalogs. Metadata tags are customizable, to add as much useful data to asset records as possible. An integrated media player for preview and a separate full resolution player is included, supporting desktop playback of hundreds of formats and codecs. There is no external workstation required for FastTracker, as the software, database, and encoded proxies are stored on the Facilis server.
- Auto Index and catalog all incoming files on Facilis volumes without manual interaction.
- Encode Proxies at preview, HD, and same-as-source resolutions, automatically at index time or on-demand.
- Catalog and encode proxies for archived video through Facilis Object Cloud.
- Restore files from LTO or Cloud locations through Facilis Object Cloud with drag and drop into work volume
- Filter unwanted files with index filters based on file extension and size.
- Manage access to indexed data through per-catalog user permissions and password protection.
- Search assets based on imported/custom metadata, Boolean terms, index time, tag content, and more.
- Access assets directly from FastTracker Desktop Browse or Adobe Panel, and drag/drop directly to the current application.
Facilis Object Cloud & Object LTO
The way to ensure data redundancy with our video storage servers is to include a backup storage solution, incorporating backup and archive within an already functioning workflow. Facilis Technology has integrated field-proven object storage software to create a turnkey Cloud and LTO tiered storage system. Offline files are represented in the same volume and tracked by the same interface as active project files. With Object Cloud software, a Facilis Virtual Volume doubles as the cache volume for Cloud and LTO locations, making movement to archive and restoration of archived or backup files simple and fast.
Object Cloud
As an add-on to many existing Facilis servers or any newly purchased Facilis HUB Shared Storage System, Object Cloud software utilizes a native Facilis virtual volume as the disk cache for a 10TB to 100TB cloud account. One yearly fee is applied and there are no additional fee regardless of how many times you access the files. Add the cloud account renewal to your Facilis Total Care support contract, and always be supported and protected.
Object LTO
When purchasing a 8/24/48-tape library from Facilis, Object LTO lets you use a native Facilis volume as the cache for your LTO tape storage library. Copy files to disk and after they’re successfully written to tape and indexed by FastTracker, the files are removed but still viewable in the folder. Use FastTracker to search video and audio files on LTO and if needed, restore them from the LTO for use in your project. Combine LTO with the 50TB or 100TB Cloud package and be protected locally and globally!
Simple LTO Library and Archiware P5
For customers that don’t require the functionality of Object Cloud and would rather have a separate database for archived media, we offer more affordable LTO library support on Facilis servers through Archiware P5.
Simple Nearline Drive Arrays
Facilis has up to 192TB nearline drive arrays attached through 6Gb SAS to Facilis servers. These can be used for offload or backup and can be shared out through the Facilis Shared File System to the desktops of your client workstations.

| Asset Management Workflows: CatDV Square Box Systems has been a partner with Facilis Technology for several years, and hundreds of facilities enjoy the compatibility and integration between Facilis shared storage for video editing and CatDV products. Now with FastTracker 3.0, any record indexed can be immediately reported to CatDV for analysis and inclusion in catalogs. Deploying Asset Management can be a very complex undertaking, so it helps when the shared storage just works out of the box. The less time our customers spend managing the system, the more time they can spend customizing their ideal asset management workflow. |
Media Workflow Management: Telestream Telestream is a very popular brand for automated ingest, encoding and distribution systems. In these workflows, shared storage is not only recommended, but it's required. Facilis' video editing storage and Telestream have hundreds of cooperative installs, and starting with Facilis version 6.5 and Vantage version 7, there is now fully documented qualification of the supported workflows. Telestream media workflow management systems work with watch folders and open file formats, which is compatible with growing file support in Facilis version 6.5. Facilis and Telestream have combined to fulfill many advanced workflows in Post Production, Broadcast and Live Event. |
Color Correction & 4K Post Production Workflows: DaVinci Resolve Blackmagic Resolve has been a favorite application for Facilis video editing storage customers because of the bandwidth-hungry formats that are supported by Resolve in the color correction workflow. Resolve was the first OSX application that Facilis successfully qualified with 4K DPX uncompressed playback, and some high-performance workflows in Resolve still cannot be delivered with any shared storage except Facilis. With FastTracker, DPX and EXR file sequences are combined into a single record, and proxies in h.264 format can be created. This enables the operator to preview the footage prior to importing. Facilis tests and qualifies the latest version of Resolve with every shared storage server release as well as an online demonstration of this workflow is available. |
| Archive and Backup Workflows: XenData & Facilis Object Cloud As the basis for Facilis Object Cloud, Xen Data is developed to be integrated with Facilis' video editing storage. Xen Data has LTO and Cloud Cache workflow software, and Facilis sells and supports both options for our customers. When deploying Xen Data software directly on Facilis servers, our customers avoid the need for a turn-key archive system. Using a native Facilis volume as the cache for LTO and Cloud backup and archive, our customers can enjoy the advanced functionality of Object Storage on the desktop. Xen Data sells certain software packages exclusively with Facilis, so this combination isn't available anywhere else. This provides a pure differentiating factor when choosing a shared storage partner for your facility. |
Server Data Backup & Synchronization Software: Archiware P5 LTO Facilis' video editing storage offers archive and backup solutions that are directly attached to the SAN server. These products include nearline disk arrays and archive LTO devices. When using LTO libraries, Archiware P5 software enables data movement, scheduling, library control and indexing. Archiware's server data backup software runs on the Facilis server itself without the need for additional archive workstation. P5 delivers professional archive and backup workflows that are automated and robust, to handle the terabytes of data that comes through a large post facility on a weekly basis. Facilis sells and configures Archiware software with our LTO8 tape-based products. |
Live Production & Video Streaming Storage: NewTek Newtek Tricaster is an industry-leading, multi-camera production system. Facilis' video editing storage has been qualified for use with Tricaster since 2014 and supports up to 32 tracks of concurrent video ingest on a single SAN server. Through the use of the Facilis Shared File System, traffic is optimized over Ethernet connections to better serve the demanding workflows of live event ingest and playout. Facilis 8 or Facilis HUB 16 is a perfect companion for the Tricaster, with ease of use and simple setup even on location. With Facilis' video streaming storage, volumes can be pushed to the Tricaster system after the Tricaster software interface launches. This avoids the need to enter admin mode and access the Windows desktop to map network drives. Tricaster is often combined with various other content creation workstations in a modern facility, so Facilis is the one shared storage solution that can support them all with ease. |
