Ultra High-Speed SMB Performance: ATTO SmartNICs and ThunderLink adapters, including a custom-cooled dual 25GbE NIC integrated into Nomad, enabling ultra high-speed SMB ingest and playback from single workstation for bandwidth-intensive professional media workflows

The need for faster setup, simpler media organization and application handoffs, and higher-performance ingest and playback are addressed by the enhancements – helping production teams reduce workflow friction and work more efficiently with increasingly demanding media.

“Today’s video production teams are working with more media, higher resolutions, and tighter timelines than ever before… so every unnecessary step in the workflow matters,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO of OWC. “These Jellyfish enhancements are about getting technology out of the way – making it faster and easier to connect, find and move media where it needs to go, and deliver the performance demanding workflows require. It’s all about helping creative teams spend less time managing their infrastructure and more time creating.”

The OWC Jellyfish Manager 3.2 and Ultra High-speed SMB Performance for the Nomad are now generally available (GA). The Jellyfish Connect 4 and Media Manager 3.2 will be rolled out during Q4 2026. To learn more and order the OWC Jellyfish NAS please visit: https://www.owc.com/solutions/jellyfish.
