Secure, centralized storage for visual information
Shared storage for government and military operations
When your mission is critical, so is your media.
That’s why governments and military organizations around the world rely on the high-performance EVO shared storage server solution.
From intelligence reports and operational plans to logistical details and drone footage, government and military organizations need a secure, centralized solution to store and manage vast amounts of data—especially when it comes to critical visual information.
EVO ensures that all relevant parties have access to the most current and accurate data while maintaining strict security protocols to prevent unauthorized access. EVO also provides the tools to manage visual information and automate data transfer and replication, which enables streamlined workflows, faster decision-making, and ultimately, more efficient mission planning and execution.
Made in America
Trusted worldwide
EVO shared storage systems are engineered, assembled, and tested in Saint Louis, Missouri, USA.
Security
EVO keeps your data safe.
Built on a custom OS to protect against cybersecurity threats, EVO’s granular user permissioning, auditing, monitoring, folder-level access control, project locking, and unique roles contribute to the highest security for your visual information resources.
Reliability
EVO is constantly praised for its reliability as a high-performance shared storage solution. From the forward edge of the battlefield to tactical edge processing, EVO is technology you can trust every step of the way.
Compliance
SNS products regularly meet US and international regulatory standards, maintaining TAA compliance, Section 889 compliance, and more.
Collaboration
Military operations often require close collaboration among various units and departments. EVO shared storage facilitates this by allowing multiple users to access, share, and edit files in real-time from different locations.
For example, authorized collaborators can access visual information securely, search for the content they need, and curate their own media collections—all without downloading any software.
Convenience
Save time with A.I.
A single click can add dozens of relevant tags to your visual information, making your files searchable in seconds. Cloud-based AI connector included.
Compatibility
EVO shared storage systems support the integration of various data types and formats, which is essential for comprehensive situational awareness and strategic planning.
Additionally, EVO is fully integrated with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro, includes a RESTful API for custom integrations, and is compatible with major operating systems, browsers, and editing applications, network-attached storage (NAS), local storage, and cloud storage platforms.
Scalability
Configure your EVO system in terabytes or petabytes, with up to 100GbE connectivity. With no per-seat software licensing, you can scale up operations quickly and cost-effectively.
A fleet of workflow tools
With the award-winning EVO Suite included for unlimited users, EVO does so much more than store data.

Everything about EVO is built for media teams. We know that many times, customers do not have a dedicated technical person, let alone a dedicated technical staff. So we make it as easy to setup and manage as possible. However, many customers would prefer not to even have to think about doing their own setup at all, so for this reason we offer on site installation. More commonly, we offer a very convenient “remote setup” service. With this remotely guided service we pair you with a person on our team who specializes not in just “setting up the system,” but also in answering the workflow questions that always come up when installing a new shared storage system.
EVO 8 Bay, EVO 16 Bay, EVO 8 Bay Live, EVO Nearline, and EVO Prodigy Desktop have a country of origin of the United States of America under the rules of origin pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 2518(4)(B) These products meet the requirements of substantial transformation, for purposes of government procurement (TAA compliance) with a Country of Origin: U.S.

Connectivity and backup
A switch isn’t necessary. EVO includes direct-connect Ethernet ports, and you can add more, so a switch isn’t needed unless you require more than the max number of direct-connect ports.
EVO offers a number of backup, copy, sync, and archive choices, including built-in replication software that you can use with other servers, other EVO systems, and Amazon S3, Azure, and Dropbox.
Expansion
Yes, with the exception of the MOD and EVO Prodigy models. In fact, not only can you easily expand EVO’s storage capacity, but as you add drives you can also increase EVO’s overall performance capabilities!
