Platform is a Shared Storage server designed for Video Production and other purposes. Platform has a Zero-Latency Packet-Lossless protocol with the Platform software layer that enable video performance.  This allows you the stream, write and edit directly from the server. This is very similar to how the Avid ISIS works.
