Michael and Peter Cioni’s Strada is to launch Strada Agents at NAB, “a groundbreaking streaming technology that eliminates the need for expensive cloud storage while delivering instant remote access to media assets.”

With the Strada Agent technology, a video file stored in one location can be accessed and watched from a completely different device in a different location without any pre-processing – no cloud upload, no cloud storage, no media management, and no buffering. Strada says the remote technology works even with consumer-grade internet connections.

“For years, content creators have been forced to compromise – spending a fortune on cloud storage, wasting time uploading massive video files, and making the tough decision on which video files to share with others,” said Michael Cioni, CEO of Strada. “With Strada Agents, we’re removing that burden entirely, allowing users to stream and share their assets directly from their local storage—without the cloud. This is a complete paradigm shift in how creative teams think about remote access to media.”

Strada Agents provides instant, secure access to all media files stored on a computer’s local drive, external drive, NAS device, or shared storage solution like Avid Nexis and LucidLink. By eliminating the requirement to upload or store files in the cloud, Strada Agents “streamlines workflows, reduces storage costs, and dramatically accelerates collaboration for filmmakers, editors, and production teams.”

Key features of Strada Agents:
