Two innovative DCS sponsors have come together to push peer-to-peer file sharing collaboration technology forward. Strada, the start up founded by brothers Michael and Peter Cioni, have secured a significant strategic investment from Other World Computing (OWC) designed to accelerate Strada’s product develop roadmap. The idea is to use OWC’s extensive hardware ecosystem including high performance storage, memory, connectivity, and accessories working with Strada’s peer-to-peer collaboration platform to enable content professionals to access, share, and review large video files stored on local drives anywhere in the world without needing to upload anything to the cloud.

According to Michael Cioni, “Production teams will no longer need to rely on expensive and energy consuming cloud subscriptions in order to collaborate with their remote colleagues. As we continue to expand the Strada network around the world, OWC is a perfect partner because they understand the needs of remote video production teams and build solutions for every budget, every workflow, on every platform.”

Larry O’Connor commented that, “What Strada has built is revolutionary: their peer-to-peer technology is so powerful, I believe it has the potential to disrupt the more costly, less beneficial ‘existing status quos instantly enhancing the value of OWC products for every one of our customers.”

Over the coming months, OWC and Strada will commence co-marketing initiatives, including events and social media collaboration, and will extend special incentives to customers who purchase packages of OWC and Strada products. In addition, both companies will share a booth at NAB 2026 where DCS will use their latest remote collaboration technology for our annual coverage of the convention.
