I’m here to talk to you about the Jellyfish.
Jellyfish is actually a high-performance server with multiple levels of caching that gives a tremendous amount of storage, performance for different use cases.

For instance we have the mobile which is a portable solution with a handle that is used everywhere on set, or you can use it with daily, as so by Google.

We have around 16 systems running on it at the BBC in the outside broadcast stance and this is the R24.

This is our bigger one, this is actually meant to be placed in a rack environment.

You can direct connect up to 16 people, a 10gb ethernet to it and it is used in high-end productions.

Actually we have two of them in Fiji right now who are used on the world famous program Survivor.

BBC has around 6 of them used for Top Gear, Planet Earth 3 and lots of prime time television shows in the UK.

What it is, is it has 24 drives and a tremendous amount of RAM, 512gb of RAM,

which means that we use a lot of Caching and that is only to make sure that the drives are only used when they are needed to.

Most of the performance is getting from the cache and the read-cache and the RAM.

It also has a 10tb MVME in it, just to store your project and cache and render files so they don’t get in the way of the linear media files.

and that’s why we get this extreme performance out of a Jellyfish.

So you can get a jellyfish mobile starting at around $8000 and this one here starts at around $31000.

Of course it can go up because the R24 can have multiple expansions,
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/mediaproductionshow_2022/mediaproductionshow_2022_03-120.jpg)
starting for a single unit to 432 terabytes, going up to 1.2 Petabytes of storage.
![](https://www.tenji.tv/wp-content/uploads/video_img/mediaproductionshow_2022/mediaproductionshow_2022_03-127.jpg)
Of course pricing goes up and its around 30 to 60,000 for the most expensive one which has a tremendous performance.
