About Us

Ardis Technologies BV is the Dutch manufacturer of the DDP – Dynamic Drive Pool series – multi-award-winning shared storage Ethernet SAN systems.

The company is concentrated on developing one-stop-shop solutions for products or projects involving electronic and/or hardware design and software.
On top of all systems runs their own project / file based caching mechanism, the Audio/Video File System – A/V FS. That is a unique HA scale-out file system specially developed for M & E.  The project / file based caching mechanism is a unique property of A/V FS.

Since 2003 the DDP products are sold worldwide through a network of distributors and dealers. Customers are postproduction houses, broadcasters, rental companies, universities, schools and churches. Customers are small boutiques, but also large broadcasters.
Because the owners have no obligations to external parties they can be and are fully committed to the DDP end users who work with it every day.

During the years 2002-2004 the company started as a technical ICT company with consultants, software design & coding engineers, specialists in electronic design and product & information management. Today they are focussed on high end hard- and software development.

Jan de Wit and Bart Thissen are the owners of Ardis Technologies BV. They had met on an exhibition and started working together in the eighties, when Jan, as a representative of Synclavier, got a request for a 31 tonal per octave organ. Bart and Jan are still working together but now on the DDP.

The DDP is the easiest and fastest SAN around. It is one system (a DDP), one network (Ethernet) and all from one manufacturer, Ardis Technologies BV.
