Back in the day, Avid (the company that makes professional software like media composer and pro tools) sold a NAS system called ISIS (Infinitely Scalable Intelligent Storage). The studio I worked at had a different system, but the head of post production still called it “the ISIS” because he got used to calling the network storage that.
Was the system good or had it other false promises? Infinitely sounds very unprofessional for me.
What happens when we used all the resources on our planet to scale the NAS? Did they have the technology back than, to harvest other planets or even other star systems? So many questions…
