Suite Studios

Overview

Suite Studios provides cloud object storage that is fast enough for real-time editing. Iconik keeps everything searchable, organized, and tied into your creative tools.

Combine Suite’s high-performance streaming with Iconik’s media management and automation. Editors can cut directly from Suite’s storage while Iconik handles proxies, metadata, and review, all without moving files, relinking, or waiting around.

What you get when you connect Suite Studios

• Edit while uploading: Suite streams as it ingests, so editors can start cutting right away; no transfers or local copies needed.
• Search in Iconik, open in your NLE: Find clips by transcript or AI tag, then jump straight into Premiere or Resolve for instant playback.
• Always in sync: Iconik’s Storage Gateway mirrors Suite’s structure, so you never see “file offline” or broken links again.
• Access masters anywhere: Remote editors and colorists work from the same high-res media through Suite Drive, with performance that feels local.
• Run AI and workflows in place: Transcription, recognition, and automation happen directly on Suite’s media; no duplicates, no extra storage.
• Stay in one environment: Review, approvals, watermarking, and delivery all live inside the shared Suite + Iconik setup.

Who's it for

The power of a SAN, priced like the cloud

Suite Studios turns low-cost object storage into a live editing environment. Iconik adds automation, intelligence, and collaboration, so you get performance and control without the usual infrastructure overhead.

For technology teams and integrators

• Predictable costs: Simple monthly pricing with no surprise egress fees or redundant storage.
• Less manual work: Automatic path syncing removes the constant fixes after file moves or renames.
• Security built in: SOC II, TPN Shield, and AES-256 encryption cover both storage and media management layers.

For creative teams and operations

• Edit instantly: Start cutting high-res media minutes after ingest—no waiting for local transfers.
• Faster turnarounds: Ingest, proxy creation, and editing happen in parallel to shave days off production.
• Global collaboration made simple: Teams anywhere can edit from the same masters in real time, without VPNs or replicated storage.

Case Study

Sift Creative

The Challenge

Sift Creative, a fully remote production and post team covering global sports events, struggled with slow file transfers, scattered workflows, and complex server management. Their remote editors relied on hard drives and inconsistent cloud setups, making collaboration and scaling difficult.

The Outcome

‍By combining Suite Studios’ cloud streaming with Iconik’s media management, Sift built a truly borderless workflow. Editors now access and edit media in real-time from anywhere, while Iconik keeps everything searchable, organized, and automatically linked—no relinking or file movement is needed.

Key results:

• 30+ remote editors connected through a single cloud-based workflow on Suite + Iconik
• Project turnaround times reduced by 4–5 days using Suite Connect for direct-to-cloud ingest
• Global collaboration across North America, South America, Europe, and Australia with no VPNs or file shipping
• Instant metadata sync between Iconik and Suite eliminates “file offline” errors and simplifies version control
