Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I just buy the storage?

After decades of seeing our customers struggle in the budgeting process to get what they need, we designed a service that spreads the cost out over the lifespan of the hardware and lets you adapt to changing needs.

What backup and recovery systems does creative.space have in place?

The storage platform is built on ZFS, which provides data-integrity, self-healing, software RAID, and a very powerful feature called Snapshots that lets you recover data. However, we still recommend backing up to a separate storage tier, such as tape or glacier cloud.

What kind of security measures are in place to protect my data?

Control access to spaces, folders, and files out of the box, using our built-in OpenLDAP server. Everything can be controlled in our intuitive web app without needing any prior knowledge or experience in IT. Assign roles to determine what users can see and do in our apps.

What does the service include?

A physical network-attached storage server at your location that your entire team can access using simple and intuitive software, plus a remote team of experts who monitor the system and handle the technical stuff.

Is there a media asset management (MAM) system included?

You can browse and inspect over 200 media formats in our web and desktop apps. Our Libraries interface makes it easy to find media assets through a tagging system. Our folder structure templates feature to keep everything organized.

What happens if I cancel my contract or it ends and I don't renew?

Just migrate your data, do a full system wipe, and send the hardware back to us. If you want to get out early, let us know at least 45 days before your anniversary and we'll revise the contract to the current year and you just pay the difference as if you started out with that term.
