Symply 4U 24-Bay and 4U 60-Bay WorkSpace XE-R Collaborative Shared Storage Rackware Systems
Up to 1.3PB with connectivity through 25 or 100GbE, features include storage tiering, robust user and project management, hybrid cloud workflows, and optional MAM support.
Building on the success of the WorkSpace XE desktop collaborative storage solution launched earlier this year, the XE-R promises to redefine shared workflow storage capabilities while prioritising ease of use.
It is available in 2 versatile configurations: a 4RU 24-bay model and a 4RU 60-bay variant, both offering storage choices,
including HDD, all-flash, and hybrid storage configurations. This innovation represents a leap forward in collaborative shared storage solutions, offering features that will transform the way media professionals work. Key features include storage tiering, robust user and project management, hybrid cloud workflows, and optional MAM support, empowering users with transcoding capabilities, local and remote file ingest, browser-based editing, and secure content sharing.
Keith Warburton, CEO, Symply, stated: “The WorkSpace XE disrupted the landscape of desktop collaborative storage when it was first introduced at NAB Las Vegas in 2023. Building upon the success of that milestone, we’ve taken innovation to new heights with the WorkSpace XE-R. This product delivers unprecedented throughput and configuration flexibility while preserving the unmatched simplicity that Symply is renowned for.”

One of the features of the WorkSpace XE-R is its connectivity through 25 or 100GbE, thanks to a client-side Ethernet driver optimized for TCP/IP. This architecture ensures that the shared storage is perceived as a block-level local disk device, eliminating the unpredictability associated with network shares. As a result, these systems are engineered to deliver performance across a variety of environments, including raw 4K and 8K workflows, addressing the fundamental shared storage requirements of diverse media pipelines, including on-set production, post-production, VFX, broadcasting, houses of worship, sports teams, and agencies.
