More About Sohonet
Sohonet focuses on networked media solutions for studios, production companies, post-production facilities, and content owners that require predictable performance and controlled collaboration across distributed teams. Its offerings concentrate on secure connectivity, media-grade transport, and workflow tools that support dailies, review and approval, finishing, and delivery processes across on-premises (on-prem) facilities and cloud environments.
The company’s core network services align with enterprise connectivity categories, providing private, high-bandwidth, low-latency links between production sites, studios, and data centers (networking). These services typically rely on IP-based technologies, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or similar carrier architectures, Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, and peering relationships tuned for large media payloads and time-sensitive traffic. Network paths are designed for predictable throughput for high-resolution video, VFX plate transfers, and collaborative editorial, where generic public internet connectivity may not meet production schedules or security constraints.
Sohonet also operates collaboration and review platforms for creative teams (collaboration tools). These services enable streaming of content for real-time or asynchronous review, annotation, and feedback, often integrated into editorial, VFX, and finishing pipelines. The platforms are used by geographically distributed stakeholders such as directors, producers, editors, and studio executives, relying on secure access controls, encryption in transit, and optimized codecs suitable for professional viewing while limiting bandwidth overhead. These collaboration capabilities are positioned as workflow tools rather than consumer streaming services, with features mapped to production review cycles.
Cloud connectivity and data transfer offerings (cloud networking / data transfer) address the shift of media workloads into public cloud platforms. Sohonet provides options to move high-volume media assets between on-prem storage, studio networks, and cloud object storage or compute environments, using optimized transfer protocols and acceleration techniques to reduce upload and download windows. These services support hybrid architectures where rendering, transcoding, or storage are located in the cloud while creative teams operate from multiple physical facilities.
Security and access control services (security) are integrated throughout Sohonet’s portfolio. This includes authentication, authorization, secure tunneling, network segmentation, and monitoring functions that align with the compliance expectations of major studios and content owners. The approach supports zero-trust-style access to critical production systems and content, minimizing exposure of pre-release materials. Logging and observability help production IT teams track access and meet audit requirements.
Professional and managed services (IT services) complement the technology stack. Sohonet works with enterprise and studio IT groups to design, deploy, and support network topologies, connectivity into partner ecosystems, and integrations with storage, asset management, and production tracking systems. The company’s offerings can be categorized in directories under networking for media, secure collaboration for content production, cloud connectivity for media workloads, and managed media infrastructure services.
