New storage backbone drives major throughput gains for large-scale digitization.
Boston, MA, 16 December 2025: George Blood LP, a leading provider of audio and video preservation services, has deployed EditShare’s high-performance Ultimate NVMe storage nodes to power its rapidly expanding digitization and restoration workflows.
The investment in EditShare’s NVMe solution enables George Blood LP to meet the surging demand for film and video preservation without sacrificing quality. The company, which handles projects for broadcasters, universities, government agencies, and cultural institutions worldwide, is now digitizing up to 50 terabytes of content daily, including 2K and 4K film scans alongside high-volume audio transfers.
“We pushed the system as hard as we could, and we couldn’t break it,” said Jared Gibson, Video Team Lead at George Blood LP. “In stress tests we sustained 16 gigabytes per second in writes, well above our expectations, with total stability. With our previous SAN, we were constantly dropping frames and struggling to keep up. With EditShare, the bottlenecks are gone.”
“George Blood LP is one of the most unique customers we’ve worked with,” said Julia Crowe, Regional Sales Manager, EditShare. “Their workflows are highly customized, and the fact that our storage slotted in and delivered the performance they needed shows how adaptable and powerful the system really is.”
Key Code Media, a nationwide systems integrator and long-time EditShare partner, led the installation with its New York team and continues to provide ongoing service through its Key Code Total Care program. The system was validated within George Blood’s advanced infrastructure, including LaserGraphics and MWA film scanners, where EditShare consistently delivers the speed and reliability required for demanding film digitization workflows. EditShare is the only storage vendor verified by LaserGraphics to handle the performance demands of its scanners.
George Blood’s unique market position combines the ability to handle bulk digitization with the high fidelity expected of specialist restoration houses. “We can take on a semi-truck of media and still deliver at the highest quality,” said George Blood, President of George Blood LP. “We’re proud to combine scale with the care these collections deserve, and EditShare has given us the infrastructure to keep growing.”
