Since 1998, Studio Network Solutions has built shared storage purpose-made for media teams — EVO servers pair SAN and NAS with ShareBrowser media management and Slingshot automations, keeping whole editorial teams cutting from the same pool simultaneously. Twice NAB Product of the Year.
Founded in 1998, Studio Network Solutions (SNS) has spent over two decades building shared storage and media workflow products purpose-designed for the creative media industry. Their flagship EVO platform combines high-performance SAN/NAS shared storage with an award-winning suite of workflow tools for broadcast, post-production, sports, education and corporate content teams worldwide. Two-time NAB Show Product of the Year winner.
Available across MENA and Türkiye through MediaCast — authorised SNS partner with Lawrence available for pre-sales workflow consultancy and live EVO demonstrations at MCX — MediaCast Experience Center in Dubai.
EVO is a dual-protocol SAN and NAS shared storage server — editors connect via high-speed Ethernet from the same server simultaneously. Up to 100GbE connectivity. Real-time 4K and 8K video editing for multiple simultaneous users with no dropped frames and no file copies between workstations.
ShareBrowser media asset management is included with every EVO — editors search, preview, tag and comment on media from one pane, with panel extensions inside the editing applications themselves. Background automations handle offload, transcode and archive, while EVO Nearline and EVO Cloud extend the same environment to archive and remote tiers.
EVO is deployed at Hollywood studios, national broadcast networks, sports broadcasters, post houses, universities and houses of worship worldwide. In MENA and Türkiye, MediaCast holds EVO systems in stock in Dubai, with Lawrence available for pre-sales workflow consultancy and live demonstrations at MCX — MediaCast Experience Center.

Purpose-built for media. Not adapted from IT storage. Six reasons why broadcast and post facilities choose EVO.
EVO is engineered specifically for real-time video editing — high throughput, 4K and 8K headroom, and all the features media teams actually need built in. Not a general-purpose NAS with a media plugin bolted on.
Every EVO ships with ShareBrowser MAM, Slingshot automation, Outpost review and remote editing tools for unlimited users at no extra cost. Competitors charge per-seat. SNS includes it all.
EVO operates as SAN and NAS from the same server simultaneously — high-speed fibre-connected editors alongside standard Ethernet users, all sharing the same storage pool without separate infrastructure.
EVO integrates with AWS S3 for automated backup and tiered storage. SNS Cloud VPN for secure remote access. The same EVO Suite tools work whether the server is in your rack or in the cloud.
EVO integrates with Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Pro Tools — project locking, bin sharing, NLE export from ShareBrowser and automatic project management built in.
EVO Prodigy starts small teams. EVO 8 and 16 Bay grow with the facility. EVO Cluster scales to petabytes. Same EVO Suite, same interface, same workflow tools at every scale.
