Storj Sets New Standard for Media Storage and Compute at IBC 2025
Storj’s presence at IBC 2025 saw three major announcements, setting the company firmly on course to become one of the most disruptive forces in the media market.
Storj’s distributed storage platform is already reshaping cloud economics with its dramatically lower costs, greener credentials, and transparent pricing compared to traditional public cloud providers. At this year’s IBC, Storj (pronounced Store-J) introduced four new storage tiers, each designed to meet specific workflow requirements with no hidden API or file costs and generous included egress:
Global Collaboration
For teams needing high-speed performance, built-in resilience, and low-latency access anywhere in the world.
Price: $15, €14, £12 per TB, per month (PAYG model)
Egress: Includes 1x your storage commit (e.g. 1TB stored = 1TB egress/month FoC)
Hidden Costs: None — no API or file access fees
Equivalent To: AWS S3 Standard with two regions of replication
Regional Workflows – Tyrell Exclusive
For users requiring data residency and compliance, with SOC2 Type 2 certification.
Price: $10, €9, £8 per TB, per month (annual commit model)
Egress: Includes 1x your storage commit per month
Hidden Costs: None — no API or file access fees
Equivalent To: AWS S3 Standard with one region
Active Archive
For near-term retention that keeps archive data readily accessible for ongoing productions without paying for peak performance.
Price: $6, €6, £5 per TB, per month (PAYG model)
Egress: Charged at $0.02, €0.01, £0.01 per GB per month
Hidden Costs: None — no API or file access fees
Equivalent To: AWS S3 Infrequent Access, or Wasabi Hot Tier (90-day min retention), with two regions of replication
RCS Backup – Tyrell Exclusive
For long-term archive, discounted through pre-purchased storage for secondary or long-term requirements.
Price:$5, €5, £4 per TB, per year (annual commit model)
Egress: Includes 1x your storage commit per month
Hidden Costs: None — no API or file access fees
Equivalent To: AWS S3 Glacier Instant Access, or Wasabi Hot Tier (90-day min retention)
Object Mount
Storj announced the acquisition of Object Mount at IBC 2024, and this year it returned to IBC 2025 with two vital new features for production workflows. But first — what is Object Mount?
Edit, Conform, Master…
Object storage, whether cloud or on-prem, was not originally designed for editing. Over the past few IBCs, several solutions have emerged to make object storage suitable for production workflows. Object Mount stands out by enabling real-time editing across all object storage types — whether on-premise Object Matrix or cloud platforms like AWS S3, Microsoft Azure, and Storj’s distributed network. Collaborators can share credentials, allowing direct editing no matter where the files reside.
Unlike other solutions, Object Mount does not wrap, shard, or alter files. It presents the storage as a standard file system to your workstation, allowing your favorite NLE to work directly with the file while keeping it accessible to other workflows.
What’s new for IBC 2025?
Network-Based Cache – You can now designate a network volume to store streamed cache. Any file cached for instant access becomes available to all users on the network.
File Pinning – You can identify which files to pin to a local or network cache volume. Normally, Object Mount’s cache operates on a first-in, first-out basis, but pinned files remain persistent and are not cleared when newer files arrive.
These updates make Object Mount an even more powerful and flexible tool for collaborative, production-ready workflows.
Virtual Compute
Finally, Storj announced plans for virtual CPU and GPU compute on its distributed network. For Tyrell, this is particularly exciting: it will enable cheaper compute than AWS, with zero egress fees and ultra-low latency access to Storj storage. This development extends Storj’s vision beyond storage into high-performance compute, opening new possibilities for media workflows.

New technology boosts performance for high-resolution post-production and flexible workflows
EGG Post Production & VFX, one of Ireland’s leading post-production facilities, has expanded its capabilities with a significant storage upgrade from EditShare. This investment supports EGG’s growing demand for high-performance workflows, including 4K and beyond colour grading, while improving remote collaboration and workflow flexibility.
The project was delivered in collaboration with Tyrell, EditShare’s long-time channel partner in Ireland, who worked closely with EGG and EditShare to scope, install, and support the new system.
Founded in 2004 by editors Gary Shortall and Gareth Young, EGG has built a strong reputation for its award-winning editing, finishing, sound, and VFX services. The company delivers content for major Irish, UK, and US broadcasters, as well as audiences worldwide, making reliability and efficiency in their storage infrastructure critical to their operations.
To meet these demands, EGG has integrated EditShare’s 96TB NVMe and EFS300 256TB storage solutions, replacing an older system that could no longer support the increasing technical requirements of high-resolution workflows. The upgrade consolidates all offline, online, grading, and VFX under a single vendor, improving overall efficiency and project management.
One of the most valuable additions to EGG’s workflow is EditShare’s Swift Link technology, which allows creative teams to access media and work on projects from any location. As productions increasingly demand flexible, hybrid workflows, Swift Link ensures that EGG’s editors, colorists, and VFX artists maintain seamless productivity, whether on-site or remote. The ability to securely stream high-resolution content without performance compromise has been transformative for EGG’s post-production pipeline.
Gareth Young, CEO and Co-Founder of EGG, emphasized the continued value of the partnership with EditShare: “We’ve trusted EditShare for over eight years, and this latest upgrade reinforces why we continue to rely on them. The combination of high-performance storage, local European support, and the flexibility provided by Swift Link made this the right choice for our team.”
Since going live last summer, the upgraded system has enabled EGG to serve as a reference site for high-end grading workflows. The team has praised the simplicity and speed of Swift Link for remote collaboration, without sacrificing the performance needed for complex post-production tasks.
Tara Montford, EVP of Sales and Co-Founder of EditShare, added: “EGG represents the kind of forward-thinking post facility that pushes the boundaries of creative and technical excellence. We’re proud to support their next chapter with a solution that combines performance, flexibility, and security, delivering everything they need to meet the demands of high-resolution workflows, both in-studio and remotely.”

Clear-Com’s EQUIP Boosts Ride Efficiency, Safety, and Communication at Merlin Theme Parks
Clear-Com recently celebrated the successful implementation of its EQUIP intercom system at Merlin Theme Parks, enhancing ride operations, safety, and guest satisfaction through improved team communication. As a long-standing trusted technology partner, Tyrell introduced Merlin to Clear-Com’s EQUIP system, a hands-free, full-duplex intercom solution designed to streamline real-time conversations between ride operators, loaders, and platform staff. From the outset, Tyrell worked closely with both Merlin and Clear-Com to scope the technical requirements, facilitate product demonstrations, and ensure each deployment was tailored to the unique footprint of individual attractions.
Kieran O’Connor, Continuous Improvement Lead at Merlin Theme Park, highlights the communication challenges the park faced:
“We needed a hands-free, full-duplex communication system without the need to press a button or pick up a phone. After evaluating several suppliers, Clear-Com’s EQUIP system hit everything we were looking for.”
Clear-Com Equip
The EQUIP system’s integrated battery life lasting a full operating day, and natural full-duplex conversation capability have revolutionized communication for the teams.
The results have been remarkable:
- Up to an 18% increase in ride throughput by reducing delays and improving seat filling efficiency.
- An average improvement of 8-9% across multiple rides, one of the largest gains from recent operational changes.
- Significant risk mitigation for teams working at height or in complex environments through instant, hands-free communication.
Clear-Com has partnered closely with Tyrell throughout the rollout, customizing the solution for each attraction’s unique needs. “Tyrell has been instrumental in making this project a success,” said Ben Turnwell, EMEA Regional Sales Manager. “They have been involved at every stage, from technical planning to on-site support and aftercare.”
“At each new attraction, Clear-Com visits our site, understands our operation, and makes bespoke recommendations on transceiver placement and cabling routes to optimize performance,” explained O’Connor.
A recent example is the rollout of the new Hyperia coaster at Thorpe Park, where Clear-Com’s system ensured flawless communication from day one, contributing to peak throughput performance.
“Clear-Com has been great all the way through, providing excellent aftercare support. There’s always someone on the phone when we need to discuss ideas or troubleshoot. They consistently put boots on the ground to see us and understand our needs firsthand,” O’Connor added.
Clear-Com’s EQUIP system continues to empower Merlin Theme Park’s teams with reliable, real-time communication, helping create a smoother, more efficient and more enjoyable experience for guests.
