THE GOLD STANDARD IN NEARLINE STORAGE

ULTIMATE EFS 60NL

Free Up Your Production Nodes

For over two decades, EditShare has set the standard in scalable, high-performance shared storage systems. The Ultimate Series takes our commitment further with cutting-edge enterprise-grade solutions designed specifically for collaborative media workflows. Now, with the Ultimate EFS 60NL, we’ve reimagined nearline storage to offer more reliability, unparalleled data protection, and cost-effective capacity to keep your production flowing.

Purpose-Built Nearline Media Storage

The Ultimate EFS 60NL is engineered for media parking that’s immediately accessible but doesn’t demand the ultrafast speeds needed during active production. Ideal for projects in pause mode or content you know you’ll need soon, this storage node strikes the perfect balance between affordability and performance. With the Ultimate EFS 60NL, you gain access to robust, nearline media storage without compromising on the quality or reliability synonymous with EditShare.

Intelligent Media Management

Integrate Ultimate 60NL nodes into your existing EFS shared storage cluster. Free up valuable online storage by migrating dormant media assets while benefiting from EFS’s advanced storage goal features. These features allow you to assign specific storage priorities, moving media transparently and easily between nodes without disrupting workflows. Storage management has never been simpler or more intuitive.

Scalable and Flexible

EFS 60NL delivers up to 1.32PB of raw capacity within a single 4U chassis.  Clients have the flexibility to start with a single, half-populated node with 1 media pack and expand by adding a second MediaPack at any time.  This modular architecture ensures your infrastructure scales in tandem with your organization’s demands, making the Ultimate 60NL a cost-effective, adaptable storage solution.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity

Protect your media assets with a robust disaster recovery setup using the Ultimate EFS 60NL. Pair a Metadata Controller with EFS 60NL nodes to establish a self-contained storage cluster for secure data replication. In the event of a disaster, utilize SwiftSync for content duplication. For even greater reliability, add a third node to enable High Availability with XOR protection, ensuring your media assets are safe and accessible.  In critical scenarios if your main production storage is unavailable, the Ultimate EFS 60NL ensures your workflow doesn’t skip a beat. By allowing you to shift editing suites to nearline storage, it provides uninterrupted access to your projects and assets.
