Connectivity: Plug and play with no IT required
The Jellyfish Nomad can be used with a switch but no IT is required to get you up and running. Jellyfish Connect automatically connects and configures your workstations. And 2 user-swappable NVMe shuttles give you maximum throughput with ultra-low latency, saturating the 6 x 10GbE ports that are included with every Nomad.
Storage: 3 sizes, no compromises
Choose a 16TB, 32TB, or 64TB capacity of all flash based NVME storage. Capacities are listed with a raw capacity number and a working space number. Working space is what's actually available for storage after RAID, performance buffers, and overhead are applied.
Performance: Impossibly fast speeds that travel the world with you
With 6000MB/s sustained Read/Write speeds and 128GB of RAM, the Nomad can handle RAW files, multicamera projects, image sequences, and VR without breaking a sweat. And you can bring it on a plane as a carry-on. That's why the Jellyfish Nomad is the preferred powerhouse for DITs, independent 3D and VFX studios, and on-the-go editing teams.
