In a world of monolithic and inflexible storage offerings with all-or-nothing propositions, OpenDrives changes the rules with the introduction of Atlas composable feature bundles.

The modern, composable Atlas software architecture lets you pick and choose from pre-packaged feature sets you truly require. No longer is your workflow tethered to storage capacity or even performance; you can build your data storage capabilities to fit your evolving business strategy and changing creative needs—without sacrificing performance, paying for unnecessary features, or worrying about having enough storage capacity.

Unlimited Capacity Licensing Model

We find that upcharging for software when you simply need to accommodate more content is unnecessary. Thanks to Atlas’ composable architecture, now even smaller creative teams can experience the blazing-fast and intelligent data accessibility and management capabilities Atlas is known to offer—all on a more budget-friendly scale and without the unnecessary feature bloat. And with our unique unlimited capacity pricing model, there’s no need to worry about paying more as you scale.

Our new licensing model makes it convenient to acquire Atlas either on an annual basis or with attractive multi-year contracts. No matter which Atlas composable bundle you choose, you get unlimited capacity per controller, meaning you can add another 500 TB or even 2 PB without additional software fees, up to the capacity limits of your storage hardware. As your workload continues to grow, Atlas’ unlimited capacity brings you the peace of mind that comes with cost predictability.

NOTE: All Atlas bundles are priced on a per-controller basis (except in High Availability configurations where we do not require an additional license for the standby controller).

Powering Atlas: The Atlas Performance Engine

The Atlas Performance Engine combines the best open source has to offer and our own engineering expertise in unstructured data workflows to keep creative productions running seamlessly all day long. Atlas Performance Engine combines unique and intelligent data-handling capabilities with automation, data integrity, and most importantly of all, blazing-fast speed.

• Customized kernel, services, software tools, and latency-focused system tuning maximizes consistent high performance for large, unstructured datasets
• Adobe Accelerator—our specialized approach to shared caching makes mounting and rendering Premiere projects faster and more efficient, especially for collaborative teams
• Fully inline caching analyzes data in real time to maximize block sizing while inline compression reduces the block footprint on disk
• Automated block-level data promotion from bulk storage to cache tiers maximizes RAM/NVMe utilization, thereby minimizing the capacity and cost requirements to achieve low-latencies and high performance
• Intelligent prefetching accelerates data access by promoting data to the system cache, then automatically predicting and serving up the most popular, requested data
• Provides All Flash Array performance in a hybrid (HDD/NVMe) solution, which significantly reduces total cost of ownership and scaling
• Algorithmically monitors data usage to automatically pin hot data to caching tiers

Three Choices

Atlas now delivers three software bundles with pre-packaged features and capabilities that meet different workflow and business needs. These bundles were strategically designed after thorough consultation with customers like you to understand your creative workflow challenges, such as the need for continuous productivity and seamless collaboration, along with the agility required to make profitable business decisions. This is why we’ve made it easier for you to move between different bundles; just choose the feature package that makes most sense for you.

Start with the simplified Atlas Essentials, or choose the mid-market Atlas Professional, or upgrade to our flagship Atlas Comprehensive. You choose. Upgrading and even downgrading is easy to do.
