LONDON, (Nov. 4, 2026) – Sohonet, which has set the standard for secure,
high-performance media infrastructure for 30 years, today announced that ERA, a
UK specialist in IT workflow solutions for media, post-production and
broadcast, is now available across Sohonet Media Fabric. ERA will incorporate
Sohonet’s Multiport service, connecting its infrastructure directly to the
Sohonet Media Network (SMN).
Operationally, it allows any Sohonet-connected facility to deploy additional workstations and storage for upcoming projects over its already existing Sohonet Media Network connection without having to do a new infrastructure build-out.
They can reach ERA’s hosted workstations, storage, render and on-site infrastructure over the SMN with Sohonet’s security and performance carried end to end.
“Scaling a project shouldn’t mean rebuilding your network,” said Damien Carroll, COO of Sohonet.
“Bringing ERA onto Media Fabric puts resources our customers need on a
connection they already trust, so they can collaborate quickly and expand when
they need to. That’s what Media Fabric is for: fast, flexible collaboration.
ERA becomes another destination on Media Fabric, alongside the studios, post
houses and cloud providers already connected.”
“London facilities want flexible infrastructure without the overhead of new connectivity,” said Sammy Aindow, sales manager, ERA. “Joining Sohonet Media Fabric means teams already on the Sohonet network can start using ERA’s workstations, storage and render straight away. We’re looking forward to working with Sohonet’s customers to see what we can build together.”
The partnership plays to each company’s strengths. ERA brings render, remote workstations and on-site infrastructure. Sohonet brings the network, security and collaboration products that move and protect media between facilities, crews and cloud.
