For Media
Video. RAW images. Audio masters. The big files.
Media production runs on enormous files. Hot storage at full size for archive footage that gets touched once a year is wasteful. BigMind Resilience tiers cold storage automatically, keeps masters WORM-locked, and indexes everything for AI Lens search.

A 30-second spot can spawn a year of recoverable client work.
A single commercial spawns a project tree with proxies, masters, color-graded outputs, sound stems, and exported deliverables — all of which the client may want re-cut a year later. Production faces three problems at once.
The cost trap
A single shoot day fills terabytes of RAW images. Keeping all of it on hot storage indefinitely — including archive footage touched once a year — is wasteful at full price.
The risk trap
A failed master server, a ransomware hit, a corrupted external drive — and a year of client work is gone, along with the deliverables you contractually promised to keep available.
The search problem
"Where’s that beach shot from the 2024 campaign?" turns into 45 minutes of folder-spelunking across freelancer hand-offs that never followed your naming convention.
Where it fits
Cheaper archive, protected masters, instant search.
BigMind Resilience pairs automatic storage tiering with immutable masters and AI Lens indexing — so the storage bill self-optimizes while a year of deliverables stays recoverable and findable.
Smart Storage Tiering
Auto-move cold project archives to Deep Freeze at $5/TB/month and save 40–70% vs. flat hot pricing. Last quarter’s campaign stays instantly accessible; last year’s lives in deep storage but is still recoverable.

Face recognition, object and scene labels, and text-in-image OCR. Search "beach + Sarah + 2024" and find the frame in seconds instead of folder-spelunking.
Learn moreWORM-immutable storage
Lock masters and final deliverables as WORM-immutable. Even an admin can’t delete them — your contractual archive is protected for its full retention window.
Learn moreRansomware Canary
Deterministic mid-attack detection — not AI-trained — protects production servers and shared NAS volumes the moment an encryption pattern appears.
Learn moreWorkspaces
Per-campaign or per-client isolation, with expiring secure shares for review-and-approve workflows. Share a master with a client without giving them everything.

Built for the big files — video, RAW image sets, and audio masters — with block-level imaging that protects the entire production volume, not just loose documents.

Auto-tiering rules move files between tiers based on age or last-access. You configure once; the storage bill self-optimizes. Active projects stay Hot and instant; finished campaigns drift to Cold and then Deep Freeze without anyone moving a file.
- Hot — full price, for active projects in the current quarter.
- Cold — ~50% off Hot, for the last 12 months accessed quarterly.
- Deep Freeze — $5/TB/month, for archived projects accessed once a year.
- Configure auto-tiering once; the storage bill self-optimizes from there.

Three tiers, one self-optimizing bill.
Last quarter’s campaign stays instantly accessible; last year’s lives in deep storage but is still recoverable. Save 40–70% versus flat hot pricing.
Hot
Active project, current quarter. Instant access, no retrieval delay — for the footage you are cutting right now.
Cold
Last 12 months, accessed quarterly. Still recoverable on demand for re-cuts and client callbacks, at roughly half the hot price.
Deep Freeze
Archived projects accessed once a year. Plan for hours, not minutes, on retrieval — that is the trade for archive-tier pricing.
Find "beach + Sarah + 2024" in seconds.
Search is the third production problem. AI Lens indexes everything you back up — faces, objects and scenes, and text inside images via OCR — so the frame you need surfaces from a query instead of a 45-minute folder hunt across freelancer hand-offs.
- Face recognition — find every frame a specific person appears in.
- Object and scene labels — search by what is actually in the shot.
- Text-in-image OCR — locate scanned slates, call sheets, and documents.
- Spans every storage tier, so a Deep Freeze archive is still findable.
Lock masters and deliverables so even an admin can’t delete them.
The deliverables you contractually promised to keep available need to survive a bad actor, a fat-fingered cleanup, and a ransomware hit alike. WORM-immutable storage (on Pro) locks masters and final exports for their full retention window — write once, read many, delete never.
- WORM-immutable retention on masters and final deliverables.
- Even an administrator account cannot delete a locked object.
- Ransomware Canary adds deterministic mid-attack detection on production servers and shared NAS volumes.

Workspaces isolate work per campaign or per client, with expiring secure shares built for review-and-approve cycles. Hand off a single cut for sign-off, set an expiration, and revoke access the moment the project closes.
- Per-campaign or per-client isolation keeps assets separated.
- Expiring secure share links for review-and-approve workflows.
- Workspaces: 10 on Standard, unlimited on Pro.
