StorJ, founded as Storage Labs, operates a distributed object storage platform that aggregates excess capacity from data centers worldwide, spanning 33,000 endpoints across 120 countries. Rather than building traditional data centers, the company shards objects into tiny pieces distributed globally, enabling faster upload speeds than hyperscalers at approximately 80% lower cost. At NAB 2026, the company launched version 2 of its object mount client, a POSIX-compliant drive mount that enables object storage to appear as local file storage on the desktop. The platform integrates with Avid Media Composer through virtual drive mounting, allowing editors to browse and access cloud-based media without local downloads, leveraging only the necessary portion of files during playback to conserve bandwidth. The Beam application demonstrates high-speed media file transfers reaching 1.17-1.18 GB/s over a 10GbE connection from a cloud compute instance, functioning as an S3 file browser with dynamic share packages for collaborative workflows. StorageA pricing is $7 to $10 per petabyte per month depending on tier, and the platform supports AWS S3 and any S3-compatible object storage through standard integrations.
