LucidLink announces TeamCache at IBC 2025, delivering local-class performance for distributed teams

LucidLink, the cloud-native storage collaboration platform, today announced new innovations at IBC 2025 (Stand 6.A12) designed to deliver faster, more secure workflows for media and entertainment teams.

Leading the announcements is TeamCache, a site-level add-on to LucidLink that delivers local-class performance for distributed teams while preserving the familiar LucidLink experience. The company also introduced a set of Enterprise Power-Ups to give large organizations more control and flexibility, including custom snapshots, proxy support, enhanced governance and identity integrations.

Built for the enterprise media organization, these releases make LucidLink a single platform for active production at scale — from ingest and edit to review and delivery. Teams get the same LucidLink experience on any device, anywhere. By unifying every creative production use case in one always-up-to-date global filespace, LucidLink unlocks creativity, fluidity and efficiency — helping teams deliver projects on time and on budget.

Alongside these launches, LucidLink is announcing the LucidLink Upgrade Tool, the easiest way for eligible customers to move from LucidLink Classic (2.x) to the new LucidLink (3.x) with minimal disruption.

What’s new:

TeamCache: Now in Early Access

• On-site cache for LucidLink. Drops into your network and works with every user’s existing LucidLink client at each location — no new mounts or workflow changes.

• LAN-class performance, same LucidLink experience. Keep paths, permissions and zero-knowledge security; avoid relinking or cache switching.

• Built for teams. Eliminates duplicate workstation caching and reduces internet contention by serving many users locally.

• Multi-filespace support & multi-node scalability. Serve a unified global filespace without changing your filespace organization. Start with one TeamCache, then grow capacity and throughput by scaling that node or deploying additional nodes per location.

• Operational visibility. Centralized monitoring and health insights across capacity, performance and client activity. 

• Available now for qualified enterprise customers; request EA access on the product page.

LucidLink Upgrade Tool: Limited Availability Oct 6 for direct customers under contract

• Quickly and easily upgrade in-place from Classic (2.x) to the new LucidLink (3.x) without copying data.

• Upgrades for direct on-contract Enterprise customers begin October 6; register your interest here now to notify your account team. 

• Broader eligibility (e.g., partner-managed / reseller accounts / self-managed and additional segments) follows in early 2026.

Enterprise Power-Ups

Built for enterprises standardizing on LucidLink for rich media, these power-ups strengthen security, simplify scale and put IT in control, so teams can handle every rich-media use case with confidence.

• Custom snapshots for point-in-time recovery and compliance.

• Proxy support for controlled network egress.

• Identity management integrations: SCIM-based automated user provisioning/deprovisioning plus SAML SSO (Okta, Entra ID, Ping and more).

More than 100,000 users at 4,000+ organizations — including Paramount, USA TODAY and Brut — rely on LucidLink to manage over 75 PB of media worldwide.

The multi-award-winning company was recently recognized with an Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy® Award (to be presented in October), earned its fourth consecutive NAB Product of the Year Award in April and was just named to Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators — honors that reflect both technical excellence and a culture of innovation.
