As the doors open at Olympia’s Grand Hall for MPTS 2025, industry leaders, creatives, and technology providers converge once again for the UK’s flagship media and entertainment technology showcase. At the heart of this year’s exhibition, CCKTECH commands attention at Stand B42, bringing with them a compelling line-up of storage solutions, cloud technologies, and workflow accelerators, all designed to meet the demands of today’s content creators and tomorrow’s production pipelines.
CCKTECH’s presence at MPTS reflects more than just a product demonstration—it is a statement of continued innovation, partnership, and industry relevance. With an expanding team of consultants and engineers, the company is positioning itself as a critical enabler for production houses, broadcasters, and post facilities navigating the growing complexities of media asset management, hybrid workflows, and remote collaboration.
This year, the spotlight shines on a curated portfolio of technology partners—Jellyfish by OWC, iodyne, StorageDNA, ASUS ProArt, and Western Digital. Together, they represent a powerful coalition of hardware and software offerings aimed at unlocking speed, scalability, and creative potential.
Pushing Thunderbolt to New Heights
Among the standout demonstrations is iodyne’s next-generation storage technology. Their Pro Data device, available in 12TB and 48TB configurations, leverages Thunderbolt architecture to deliver unmatched throughput and daisy-chain expandability. Built for professionals handling high-resolution media, this platform excels in high-demand environments, from multi-cam editing suites to complex VFX workflows.
Complementing the Pro Data is the Pro Mini—a compact powerhouse with 4TB and 8TB usable capacities. This smart drive is built for location-based work, empowering editors and DITs to capture, playback, and offload data with zero compromise on performance. With workflows now extending far beyond the studio, such portable solutions are rapidly becoming a mainstay in modern production kits.
Redefining Shared Storage for Creatives
Also on show is Jellyfish, OWC’s purpose-built shared storage solution designed from the ground up for collaborative video editing. Known for its simple deployment, robust performance, and remote accessibility, Jellyfish has matured into a trusted NAS platform for teams working across resolutions—including demanding 8K formats.
The inclusion of automated workstation management and optimised file system integration enhances the collaborative experience. For distributed teams and post-production environments where rapid iteration and seamless access to shared assets are non-negotiable, Jellyfish continues to set the benchmark.
StorageDNA and the New Data Fabric
As storage needs move toward a hybrid model of on-premise, cloud, and LTO integration, StorageDNA’s DNAfabric emerges as a forward-looking response to the challenges of distributed data management. Designed to connect disparate endpoints—ranging from traditional file systems and object storage to LTO tape libraries and remote assets—DNAfabric provides a unified control layer.
Its real strength lies in the orchestration of multi-site workflows, enabling facilities to archive, retrieve, and migrate content intelligently across locations and media types. For organisations facing ballooning storage costs and data sprawl, DNAfabric is a strategic asset.
ProArt by ASUS: Precision Display for Creative Mastery
Visual fidelity takes centre stage with ASUS’s ProArt monitor lineup, particularly the PA32UCDM, which has already received recognition as CineD’s Best in Show at NAB 2025. Designed for professionals working in colour-critical environments, this monitor offers true HDR rendering and studio-accurate colour calibration.
With native 4K resolution, streamlined connectivity, and built-in tools for colour grading workflows, ProArt monitors are increasingly viewed as essential components in post-production suites, digital photography studios, and VFX environments.
Backing It All: Western Digital
Western Digital rounds out the partner ecosystem with its trusted portfolio of HDDs, SSDs, and enterprise-grade storage infrastructure. As content volumes rise, so too does the need for reliable and scalable data centres, and Western Digital’s offerings ensure that every bit of creative output has a safe and fast path to long-term storage.
The Broader Canvas of MPTS
MPTS 2025 is not just about the products—it’s about the conversations they spark and the visions they enable. With eight dedicated theatres, a new AI Media Zone, a Broadcast Sport Zone, and over 300 suppliers in attendance, the show paints a compelling picture of a media industry in transformation.
Sessions range from live production automation to ethical AI deployment in newsrooms, all while showcasing real-world applications from some of the industry’s most recognisable players. Whether you’re a broadcaster, a content creator, a systems integrator, or a cloud architect, MPTS offers a rare opportunity to network, discover, and strategise under one roof.
At Stand B42, CCKTECH and its partners are delivering more than just demos. They’re delivering clarity in an industry that is constantly shifting. As workflows decentralise, resolutions grow, and deadlines shrink, the tools on display represent both resilience and readiness.
In a world where creative excellence is increasingly dependent on technical infrastructure, the innovations being showcased by CCKTECH at MPTS 2025 remind us that the future of storytelling lies not only in imagination—but in the technology that empowers it.
