Cloud-native file streaming platform, LucidLink, has announced LucidLink Connect, a new solution that enables real-time access and streaming of data from existing data stores without migration.
Following successful early deployments with customers and partners, LucidLink Connect is now generally available.
Cloud data stores have become the default foundation for enterprise content, but the way teams access and use that data in day-to-day workflows has not kept up. LucidLink Connect closes that gap by making existing data instantly streamable, while preserving native formats, existing workflows and the architectures organizations already rely on.
LucidLink Connect allows teams to work with the data they already have, where it already lives, without migration, duplicate copies or re-architecting existing systems.
“LucidLink has always made cloud data behave like a local file system,” said Peter Thompson, Founder and CEO of LucidLink. “Connect extends that to the massive amount of data already sitting in object storage. Instead of migrating or reorganizing it, teams can simply point LucidLink at existing buckets and immediately start browsing and working with that data through the workflows they already use.”
With LucidLink Connect and its APIs, customers and partners can link data from existing data stores and make it instantly browsable and streamable inside existing workflows. This supports data onboarding at scale, permissioned access, project setup and integrations with MAM/DAM systems, automations and internal tools, without migration or disruption.
LucidLink Connect is built on the same enterprise-grade file streaming platform LucidLink customers are used to. Across desktop, web and mobile, teams get a consistent experience with unified permissions, compliance controls and 24/7 global support.
“LucidLink has been streaming files from the cloud at petabyte scale for 10 years,” said Thompson. “LucidLink Connect brings that proven capability to existing data, making it instantly usable without forcing customers to change where it lives or how their systems work.”
LucidLink currently manages more than 90 petabytes globally for 100,000+ users across 4,000+ businesses in 150+ countries. The platform has been recognized as a G2 Leader in Cloud File Storage and ranked #1 for customer satisfaction, with 93% of users indicating they would recommend LucidLink.
The company maintains SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance and MPAA TPN Blue Shield certification. LucidLink Connect is designed to preserve enterprise security and governance standards while extending access to existing data for globally distributed teams.
“When LucidLink was first introduced, it was an instant game changer for an industry stuck in legacy, on-premises storage and workflows. Over the years, our customers have relied on multiple S3 buckets for backup and archival storage, while moving toward cloud-first workflows that often depend on MAM systems or lightweight tools to manage media assets. Lucidlink Connect allows our customers to access their large amounts of S3 media assets and use them in secure, real-time workflows all within their existing filespaces. Another game changing innovation from Lucidlink,” said Chris Bailey, Media Solutions Lead, Jigsaw24 Media
LucidLink Connect is available now on LucidLink Enterprise plans, enabling customers to connect existing AWS S3 data and activate that data without migration. Purchasing via AWS Marketplace is coming soon, supporting streamlined procurement and consolidated billing for enterprise customers..
