Duplicate files nobody knows about. Folders nobody can search. Files nobody can open without installing the app that made them. And another invoice for more capacity, because working out what is already there would cost more in staff time than the drives. Asset Foundry indexes the storage you already run, prices the duplicates against your own rates, and does the sorting that was never worth a person's week. You approve what it suggests. No migration, no services project.
Search, previews, reports, jobs, tagging and push ship together in one product, all running against the storage you already own.
One search across your whole estate: cloud buckets, NAS, on-prem volumes and LTO tape alike.
Click a result and see it in the browser: ~140 formats, including the ones that normally need their native app installed just to look. Video previews render a ~500 MB file from a ~10 MB read, about 50x less than a full fetch in our tests.
Checksum-level reports group byte-identical copies across volumes and price the reclaim on your own rates, with a cost model spanning 8 storage tiers.
Run copy and process jobs across your volumes, or set scheduled rules whose matches queue as pending decisions until your team approves.
AI-suggested tags queue for a human yes before anything publishes; no AI label applies itself.
When something belongs in your DAM or your cloud, send it there as a deliberate job, and the destination system stays authoritative.
Your archive stops being a black box the moment your index connects.
Reports priced on your rates, so storage decisions become money decisions.
Jobs and rules that run where your files already live, with your team on the trigger.
Your files stay on your tape, your NAS, your buckets. Asset Foundry connects context on top of the storage you already own: search, previews, reports and jobs, wherever your files live. When something does belong in a DAM, ShotGrid or the cloud, push it there on purpose. That part is optional. Nothing about this product asks you to move your library.
The all-in-one product is where you start, and the engine inside it is the same one we run at platform scale. When you outgrow self-serve, it unbundles into the full six-service platform: managed in your cloud or on-prem for enterprise estates, built out to complete production infrastructure for studios. The searches, tags, rules and reports you set up in early access are designed to carry forward on the way up.
One product with the whole toolkit: search across tape, NAS and cloud, previews, duplicate and cost reports, jobs and rules with human approval, and optional push to your DAM. Self-serve, with StorageDNA as launch partner for ShotGrid and pipeline integrations. Onboarding now in early access.
The same engine, unbundled into the full six-service platform and run as a managed deployment for brand and content estates, in your cloud or on-prem, with the pilot to prove it on your content.
The same six services, deployed and managed for episodic and feature productions: ingest pipelines, fleet-scale processing and generation, the production context engine, script breakdown, and agents over MCP.
Fortify's other product is live right now: Revive, a Google Drive app that colorizes black-and-white photos at massive scale. Select a folder, click once, and colorized copies land back in your Drive; files never leave Google's infrastructure. Pay per image from $9, credits never expire. The same engineering culture, already in production.
Asset Foundry is a self-serve SaaS from Fortify Media for teams whose storage has outgrown them. You add your own keys, it indexes the cloud buckets, NAS and on-prem volumes you point it at, and adds one search across all of them, previews for ~140 file formats, and duplicate and cost reports on your own storage rates. No files move.
No. You sign up and add your own keys for the storage you want indexed: cloud buckets, NAS or on-prem volumes. StorageDNA runs behind the scenes as our launch partner and powers integrations like ShotGrid, but you do not need to own it or know anything about it. If you already run StorageDNA, we connect to that index directly. The early-access list shapes what we connect next.
No. Asset Foundry indexes your storage in place and nothing moves: tape stays tape, NAS stays NAS, buckets stay buckets. Moving or copying anything is a job you run on purpose, and pushing assets into another system happens only when you choose it.
A DAM asks you to migrate assets into it and keep them tagged forever. Asset Foundry does the opposite: it connects to the storage you already own and layers search, previews, reports and jobs on top. If you run a DAM, keep it; push finished work into it when you choose. Your storage stays put and your systems stay authoritative.
We are onboarding teams in waves. Sign up, add your keys, and start exploring: this is the shipping product, not a waitlist demo. Early-access teams work directly with the people building Asset Foundry and steer what we build next.
Yes, when you choose. Push is optional and deliberate: send selected assets into a DAM, ShotGrid or cloud storage as a job or a rule you approve. Nothing syncs by default, and the destination system stays authoritative for whatever lands there.
