Products: Implexus Elephant

A terabyte. Fifteen characters.

For teams that move very large files: one descriptor, whatever the size.

Overview

Size stops being the problem.

Implexus Elephant holds very large files as strands. A film master, an imaging archive or a full backup is named by the same fifteen characters as a one-page letter.
