Suite Studios, a cloud-native platform for real-time media collaboration, has announced S3 Native File Streaming. This major enhancement enables creative teams to access and work directly on massive datasets stored in any S3-compatible object storage, eliminating the need for data migration, duplication, or re-ingestion while supporting global, petabyte-scale workflows.
With S3 Native File Streaming, Suite operates natively on object storage, reading and writing files as standard S3 objects. The platform functions as a high-performance streaming and access layer within existing creative workflows, enabling instant global collaboration without disrupting infrastructure or governance models.
Unlike traditional file synchronization that requires full local downloads and mirroring, Suite’s approach streams only the specific byte ranges needed for the task at hand. This delivers local-disk-like performance over the network, minimizes latency, and supports reliable access under varying conditions—critical for distributed creative teams working on large, complex productions.
“Suite Studios has been a leading file streaming solution within the creative industry,” said Craig Hering, Co-Founder and CEO of Suite Studios. “With this latest release, teams can now seamlessly connect Suite directly to their S3 compatible storage – unlocking Suite’s performance, security, and global connectivity with a single switch.”
The solution offers several core advantages for media and entertainment workflows:
“This is exactly the kind of innovation we get excited about – anything that removes friction from our workflow and lets us move faster is a win, and this does both,” said Scott Millar, CTO of MDLR Technologies. “Having everything instantly accessible, organized, and ready to go means we get more time to focus on what's important. It’s going to fundamentally change how quickly we can collaborate, iterate, and deliver – especially at the scale we work at.”
Suite’s S3 Native File Streaming integrates natively with Media Asset Management (MAM), Digital Asset Management (DAM), render farms, and archive systems. No proprietary gateways, proxies, or translation layers are required. Planned support includes major providers such as AWS, Backblaze, Cloudflare, IBM, Azure, GCP, Wasabi, and on-premises object storage deployments.
