Promise Technology Inc., global storage solutions provider for creative and IT applications, has announced that users of the company’s industry-leading Pegasus3 series of desktop RAID storage solutions can now configure their systems to realise the highest-possible performance levels when using Adobe Creative Cloud video tools like Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Adobe After Effects CC.
Desktop RAID storage solutions
Promise recently announced that its North American customers can use the new Built-to-Order (BTO) platform, available at Promise’s eStore, to build their Pegasus3 systems with their preferred combination of Solid State Drives (SSD) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD). This enables them to create the exact combinations of speed, redundancy and higher capacities they need for their individual workflows.
Allocating one or more SSDs for cache with Adobe applications will significantly improve the Adobe applications’ performance
Those capabilities now extend to Adobe’s suite of powerful video apps. For example, allocating one or more SSDs for cache with Adobe applications, while reserving the spinning disks for capacity, will significantly improve the Adobe applications’ performance, regardless of the host machine’s internal memory.
Pegasus3 series of Thunderbolt3 storage solutions
“Our customers have told us they need flexible configurations, and we are meeting that need by providing BTO options with SSDs for our Pegasus3 line of Thunderbolt3 storage arrays,” said Vijay Char, president, Promise Technology USA. “We expect this to be very popular among power users looking to boost performance, redundancy or capacity, or even all three.”
On their own, apps like Adobe Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC give users the world’s best tools for video editing and motion graphics. Together with Adobe Creative Cloud, they offer an unparalleled ecosystem of interconnected apps, like Adobe Photoshop CC and services, like Adobe Stock, empowering filmmakers and artists to deliver stories that stand out.
