Transfer manager

Transfer manager

The platform facilitates seamless data transfer across multiple drives. At its core, a primary device serves as the central hub, equipped with multiple ports for inserting multiple SSDs or other various drives.

Product Design

On one side of the main device, there is a dedicated source port where data is initially fed into the system. On the opposite side, multiple destination ports allow for simultaneous data distribution to various SSDs. This platform ensures efficient and high-speed data transfer, making it an ideal solution for handling large volumes of data across multiple storage devices.

Research

Initial work on transferring the data is controlled through a different application, which is controlled through a browser. 

The intention was to provide a native application (for iOS / iPadOS / macOS initially) which will allow us to improve the user experience, and add some more functionality.

Requirements

Requirements

Users will be running multiple copy jobs per day and copies are likely to take up to some minutes, so their attention will be moving between multiple tasks. Jobs's status must be easy to check, allowing users to focus on other tasks (e.g., quickly verifying that the platform is successfully copying while taking a break).


  • Almost all the jobs will likely be executed in the same configuration multiple times a day, it should be simple to launch a saved template while minimizing the risk of errors.

  • After jobs have finished users need to be able to browse their status. In a good implementation the platform may be able to store the whole history of all jobs run on a project. 

  • Highlights failed or incomplete transfers and provides options to retry or troubleshoot issues.

Initial thought

Our Approach


We made a strategic decision to incorporate a dashboard-style structure into the design, ensuring that users could access all essential information and functionalities from a single page. This approach eliminates the need for unnecessary navigation, streamlining the user experience.

One of the key pain points we identified in the third-party website was its fragmented layout, which required users to switch between multiple pages. This was not only inefficient but also disrupted the workflow, leading to frustration and wasted time.

Stakeholder's Thought

Stakeholder's Thought

In the film industry, where professionals often work under tight deadlines, efficiency is critical. Editors, producers, and other industry experts don’t have the luxury to juggle between pages to find what they need. Every second counts, and a cluttered or disjointed experience can slow down their productivity.

About the development

About the development

The application is currently in the development phase, and I am actively collaborating with the development team to monitor progress and ensure the design is implemented as intended. I hold regular meetings with the developers to discuss updates, address any challenges, and refine the user experience as needed.

Additionally, stakeholders remain closely involved throughout the process. I keep them informed about the development milestones, gather their feedback, and ensure that their vision aligns with the evolving product.
