Other World Computing (OWC^®), a trusted leader in high-performance storage, memory, connectivity, software, and accessories that empower creative and business professionals to maximize performance, enhance reliability, and streamline workflows, today announced an expanded partnership with Hedge. OWC’s Innergize™ software is now integrated into Hedge’s flagship media management and backup application, OffShoot, delivering creative professionals faster, safer, and more reliable workflows.

OffShoot is widely recognized as the industry standard for media offloading and backup. Built for macOS, it enables users to create multiple verified copies and archives from cards, drives, and other media simultaneously, with checksum verification to ensure absolute data integrity. With this integration, OffShoot users can now also take advantage of OWC Innergize’s unique ability to monitor card health, perform field firmware upgrades, and sanitize OWC Atlas memory cards for peak performance.

“Creative pros do their best work when their technology performs flawlessly,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO of Other World Computing (OWC). “OWC Atlas Memory Cards and Readers already deliver unmatched reliability and performance. By combining that with the industry-leading speed of Hedge OffShoot and the proactive health and performance tools of OWC Innergize, we give filmmakers, photographers, and content creators complete confidence that their footage is safe and their media is always ready for the next project.

"Just like with any gear, people take great care of their camera cards,” said Paul Matthijs, CEO and Co-Founder, Hedge. “Now that OWC's Innergize technology is fully integrated with OffShoot, creators can do their health checks and maintenance right when they need it the most - when creating their backups.”
