Working From Home

Having a centralized workflow is an essential tool in the modern multimedia world. Small Tree is here to deliver a simplified solution that will unite the team and ease team media management.

The year 2020 brought in a new decade, new technologies, and new hurdles that business owners and technicians needed to around. The introduction of the coronavirus to the planet has created a new need for remote infrastructure and remote workflow for teams of various sizes. Teams from all over the world have been moving from their large offices and rows of cubicles to couches. 

Businesses both small and large alike are making the uncomfortable move from a secured desktop intranet network, often supported by on-site engineers to individual networks all over different parts of the city (or nation, depending on the scale). external servers, VPNs, and a whole new sequence of technological issues that needed to be addressed to operate a business smoothly.  The increased need for a remote workflow and infrastructure has never been more prevalent to running a small business until now, and Small Tree is here to offer a much simpler and smoother solution to your shared storage workflows. 

How to use Proxies for better performance

Trading in the boardrooms for webcams is just one example of how drastic the changes were to the workflow of the day to day inside a business. But now, what used to be a single room, is tens to hundreds of different buildings. Seats in the meeting rooms are now being exchanged for digital seats and user accounts. 

Just because your teams are unable to have in-person meetings and collaborate face to face, does not mean a sacrifice in working collaboratively. With Small Tree tools companies can remove the digital barriers that many teams are facing and get back to doing what they do best. Being creative.

Multi-Site Editing and Collaborative Environment

The Small Tree collaborative cloud environment is the premier workflow for any high-level multimedia editing tasks and jobs.

Just like in the office, not all editing was done in the same location. Very often you could find the editing of the video done in one editing bay, and then voice over and audio would be handled in a different bay, often even a different location. Now, regardless of the size of your teams, you can almost guarantee that you will be doing editing work at different locations for all assets. ‘

Multi-site editing has always been a prevalent issue with shared storage and multimedia. Asset retention, media file management, and interaction control were always important tasks to take into consideration with shared storage, but now more than ever these are vital to multi-site editing. 

Small Tree utilizes a wide array of different file structures and protocols to make sure that every team has the workflow that they need to utilize to complete their projects. By centralizing locations of these files into either hybrid cloud or cloud solutions, editing teams can access their assets just as they would back at their office or editing suite locations. The Small Tree collaborative cloud environment is the premier workflow for any high-level multimedia editing tasks and jobs.

Production-ready storage for all scales of process

Small Tree offers production-ready storage solutions with cloud capabilities with both on site and off-site management tools.

Although many editors and businesses have a workflow or process that they follow for most of their projects, it is very rare for a workflow to be identical between two projects. Even if those projects were using the same assets, plugins, toolsets, even the editor(s), each of those workflows will differ. Small Tree Labs has systems and toolsets in place to help any business, large or small, continue to work collaboratively in 2021 and beyond, and Small Tree will be there to scale you along the way.

Sometimes a business may have a focus for a select period, that changes and scales as they grow. By utilizing Small Tree Labs as a solid foundation for shared storage solutions, you will have the capabilities to expand as you do. Think of this framework as a “future-proofing” infrastructure that grows as you grow, so teams are no longer held back regardless of the type of storage solutions that their team is currently using. And by utilizing hybrid-cloud, remote, or on-site storage solutions, you can manage the entirety of your business in the boardroom or the living room.
