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 its OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock and its OWC Jellyfish S24 have both been awarded a Future’s Best of Show Award, presented at IBC2025 by TVBEurope.

The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock earned a coveted TVBEurope Best of Show Award in recognition of its unique ability to connect to multiple high-speed networks, access blazing-fast network-attached storage (NAS), NDI, Dante, video streams, and expand device setups via a single Thunderbolt cable, providing creative and IT pros with serious speed combined with complete flexibility. Likewise, the OWC Jellyfish S24 earned its position on the IBC2025 Future’s Best of Show roster as a high-performance, cost-competitive, full SSD production server for media teams who need the responsiveness of full flash storage while still being able to easily expand their capacity in the future. The flash storage in the OWC Jellyfish S24 is powered by OWC's Mercury Extreme Pro SSDs, which provide unmatchable sustained Read/Write speeds.

“The winning products for the Best of Show program provide an outstanding overview of new technology at the show and recognize the very best broadcast and AV products and solutions on display at IBC - shining a spotlight on the very best,” said the awards editorial team.

“We are indeed honored to have been recognized not once but twice by the esteemed judges of Future’s Best of Show Award, presented at IBC2025 by TVBEurope,” said Chris Kooistra, Vice President, Marketing, Other World Computing (OWC). “In the case of the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dual 10GbE Network Dock, we believe it underscores the industry’s appreciation for the struggle that creative and IT pros are facing – juggling adapters, dealing with too few ports, and waiting on slow network speeds just to get through the day – and this dock’s ability to change all that. With one powerful Thunderbolt connection, you get two 10GbE ports, a 2.5GbE port, three Thunderbolt 5 ports, and four USB ports — all designed to simplify your setup and supercharge your workflow.”

Kooistra continued, “Likewise, the OWC Jellyfish S24 eliminates the roadblocks that slow down video editors and post-production teams, whether they need a high frame video timelines and image sequence files or robust project files, . Jellyfish empowers creators with the speed, reliability, and scalability they need to bring their projects to life without compromise.”
