Secure. Controlled. Built for media.
A private infrastructure designed to store, process, and move large media files - with full control over where your data lives and how it’s handled.
Bitnanny Cloud is not a generic cloud service.
It’s a dedicated infrastructure built specifically for media workflows.
Designed, hosted, and maintained by our team, it combines secure storage, controlled access, and integrated processing - in an environment you can fully trust.
Hosted in Switzerland.
All data is stored on infrastructure physically located in Switzerland, inside our own facilities.
This means:
Full control over hardware and data location
No third-party hosting layers
Direct responsibility for maintenance and security
Limited administrative access to a small, trusted team
Unlike large cloud providers, your data is not abstracted across unknown systems.
It exists in a defined place - managed by real people.
Secure by design
Access is strictly controlled and monitored.
Encrypted transfers
Authenticated access
Controlled user permissions
Isolated project environments
Designed for resilience
The system is built with redundancy at multiple levels.
Multiple storage layers
Data replication
Fail-safe mechanisms
This ensures continuity, even in the event of hardware issues or unexpected interruptions.
Accessible when it matters
Because the infrastructure is physically hosted, it can also be accessed locally when required.
For example:
Direct ingest from production drives
High-speed local transfers
Immediate access to media without network constraints
This bridges the gap between on-set data handling and cloud-based workflows.
From upload to delivery - automatically
Bitnanny Cloud is not just storage. It actively processes media.
Typical workflow:
Client uploads rushes
Files are automatically ingested
Transcoding workflows are triggered
Proxy files are generated
Proxies are delivered back to the client
All of this happens within the same controlled environment.
No manual intervention required.
No external tools needed.
What it changes:
You know exactly where your data is
You don’t depend on opaque cloud systems
You can ingest locally and work globally
You reduce manual processing steps
You gain a reliable, production-ready infrastructure

An archive designed by cinema professionals
Bitnanny Master Archive was born from hands-on experience in data management: on-set rush handling, production data security, post-production and mastering.
After protecting footage from the first day of shooting, it was only natural for us to accompany films through to their final form.
Today, we offer a dedicated solution for archiving completed films and all associated assets:
masters, international versions, trailers, teasers, legal documents and promotional materials.
An infrastructure fully mastered in-house
The system has been entirely designed and developed internally.
It runs on our FreeBSD-based server architecture, physically hosted in our own facilities.
Each film benefits from a dedicated, project-structured space including:
all delivered versions (festival cut, TV version, international versions, etc.)
associated metadata
a dedicated viewing proxy for every element
Hot storage and Cold storage
Hot: An active copy stored on our secure server, immediately accessible via the application.
Cold: Two redundant archival copies stored on tape, with a 72-hour restoration window.
The entire system — both local and remote — is redundant, ensuring long-term preservation and reliability.
A catalogue application tailored for producers
Bitnanny Master Archive includes a multi-user, multi-project application enabling:
catalogue-style collection overview
metadata consultation
direct download of archived elements
secure sharing link generation
screener sharing with expiration dates
proxy access, including for cold-stored assets
The objective: to give producers immediate access to their works, secure sharing capabilities, and a clear overview of their film catalogue.
Personalized format and version management
Beyond storage, we support our clients in structuring and optimizing their archives.
When appropriate, we introduce durable and efficient formats such as IMF (Interoperable Master Format) in order to:
centralize multiple versions
reduce unnecessary duplication
facilitate future deliveries
optimize long-term storage efficiency
Each work becomes a structured, future-ready asset.
From rush protection to film preservation
Bitnanny Master Archive is the natural evolution of our expertise in production data management.
After securing rushes, we now safeguard the final work.
We do not simply provide storage.
We provide structured, sustainable preservation - and guidance toward tomorrow’s archival standards.
Preserve today. Enable tomorrow
A film does not end with its theatrical release.
It continues through versions, territories, re-releases and adaptations.
Bitnanny Master Archive ensures that your works remain accessible, exploitable and protected over time.

IMF Workflow
IMF Archiving - A Smarter Way to Store and Rebuild Your Content
Traditional storage workflows tend to multiply files over time.
Our IMF-based storage solution takes a fundamentally different approach.
Instead of storing every version of a film or program, we store a single, structured master that contains only the essential building blocks of your content.
One Master, Unlimited Deliveries
With IMF, your content is broken into logical segments:
opener
main program (body)
credits
These elements are stored once, and reused across all versions.
Want a new language version?
Only the localized elements change.
Need to regenerate a delivery months later?
It can be rebuilt instantly from the master — without storing the original file.
No More File Duplication
The key advantage is simple:
You no longer store the same images multiple times.
All derived formats (ProRes, H264, broadcast, streaming, etc.) become regenerable outputs, not archived assets.
This means:
dramatically reduced storage footprint
fewer files to manage
no redundant media duplication
In many cases, storage can be reduced by up to 10×, while keeping full flexibility.
Built for Long-Term Reliability
The system is designed not only for efficiency, but also for trust.
Each element of your archive is:
structurally verified
technically validated
traceable back to the original master
This ensures that any regenerated delivery remains consistent and reliable over time.
Future-Proof and Flexible
Because the archive is modular:
new formats can be generated at any time
new platforms can be supported without re-archiving
last-minute changes affect only small parts of the content
Your archive becomes active, not static.
A Practical Example
Instead of storing:
multiple language versions
multiple delivery formats
multiple revisions
You store:
one master
a few lightweight metadata files
and validation fingerprints
Everything else can be recreated on demand.
Summary
Our IMF-based storage system allows you to:
eliminate unnecessary duplication
reduce storage costs dramatically
keep full control over your content
regenerate any delivery at any time
Store less. Deliver more. Stay in control.
Companion
The Bitnanny Companion App
Bitnanny Companion is a transfer app built for real-world media workflows.
Powered by the Bitnanny TX (Transfer Engine), it’s designed to move large files reliably, even when conditions aren’t ideal.
It doesn’t try to be clever. It tries to be dependable.
Why we built this
Bitnanny Companion wasn’t built as a product idea.
It came out of day-to-day work.
We kept running into the same problems. Transfers that looked fine at first, then failed hours later. Resume that didn’t really resume. Tools that worked well in simple cases, but became unreliable as soon as files got larger or deadlines got tighter.
There wasn’t a single tool that felt dependable in all those situations.
So instead of working around it every time, we started building something that handled those cases properly.
What began as a small internal solution gradually evolved into the Bitnanny TX engine. Shaped by real transfers, real failures, and the need to trust the outcome without constantly checking it.
Bitnanny Companion is the result of that process.
It’s not built to cover every possible use case.
It’s built to solve a very specific one: Making large media transfers behave in a way you can rely on.
The Reality of File Transfers
If you’ve worked with large media files, you’ve likely experienced this:
You start a transfer before leaving.
You come back the next morning and something failed.
A connection dropped
A transfer stalled
Resume didn’t really resume
Or everything slowed down for no clear reason
So you restart. Or check again. Or just stay around longer than you should.
Over time, it adds up, not just in time, but in trust.
What Bitnanny Companion does differently
Bitnanny Companion is built around one principle:
transfers should behave predictably, even when the environment doesn’t.
Interruptions are handled gracefully, not as failure points
Resume continues where it should, not from scratch, not from a guess
Transfers are processed in parallel where it makes sense
Large files and many small files are handled differently, because they behave differently
Jobs can be started and left alone, without constant supervision
It’s not about squeezing out theoretical maximum speed, it’s about reaching the finish line consistently.
Bitnanny TX (Transfer Engine)
At the core is Bitnanny TX, developed specifically for media-heavy workloads.
Under the hood, it:
Adapts transfer behavior based on connection characteristics (latency, throughput)
Uses parallel streams where beneficial, especially for large datasets
Treats small files and large files differently to avoid bottlenecks
Maintains integrity while allowing efficient resume on interruption
Avoids common pitfalls where transfers appear complete but aren’t fully indexed or usable
These aren’t features you have to configure, they’re decisions already made for you.
Compared to common tools
Nextcloud Client
Simple and convenient, but can become unreliable with large or long-running transfers.
FTP / FileZilla
Stable and well understood, but requires manual handling and doesn’t adapt to workload complexity.
Cyberduck
Easy to use, but can struggle with performance and consistency on larger transfers.
Aspera
Extremely fast and powerful, but often more complex and far too costly for many teams.
Bitnanny Companion
Sits in a different place. Focused on reliability, consistency, and ease of use, without requiring specialized infrastructure or constant attention.
What this changes in practice
You don’t feel the need to check transfers every hour
You don’t lose time restarting jobs that should have finished
You don’t have to think about how to “optimize” a transfer
You can rely on the outcome, not just the process
It removes a small but constant source of friction in production workflows.
