Because We Know What We Do.

And We KnowWhat You Need.

A Proven Track Record Record Of Innovation

Some of our scary smart engineer-types have been in the business for 20

years. They have seen things that no one would believe anymore. Funny

things like standard IT gear that would serve just fine in shared media

environments. But thanks to their DNA as software experts, our core

development team quickly realized that there was a lot more to creating the

perfect network environment for the media and entertainment industry.

Experience. Knowledge. Competence.

Most of our competitors are still in the dark and claim the media and

entertainment industry doesn't suffer from instability and degradation of

their systems. Or they attempt to implement reactive solutions that result in

loss of time, overspending, and facility inefficiency.

That's why we here at Bright Technologies are focussing on the emerging

and highly technical demands of file management in the professional media

and entertainment industry. Products and services specifically designed for

the media and entertainment industry and loaded with the features that will

make every workflow in a shared media environment easier, faster and more

predictable. We may just be the only ones who truly do. Not just smart.

Scary smart.

Predictability Is Your Best Ally.

Consequently we follow our mission to revolutionize modern file

management in shared media environments. Bright's first

breakthrough invention: BrightDrive Media File Server.

12 years and 150 worldwide deployments later BrightDrive is still

the only true solution for the media and entertainment industry.

When you're seeking for a predictable, efficient and reliable

workflow with high performance and speed at all times you just

found the ultimate relieve: BrightDrive Media File Server
