EFS 40NL

Cost-Effecting Parking Storage

EFS 40NL is a powerful nearline storage solution designed to optimize media workflows. It offers high-capacity, cost-efficient storage with seamless integration into production environments.

Overview

The 40NL is a storage node that’s intended for “parking” media that still needs to be accessible almost instantly, but which doesn’t need the extreme speed called for in the middle of an online production workflow. It’s the ideal product to save material you know you’re going to need soon – but not right now. And because of this, it costs significantly less than production-speed storage, while still delivering EFS’ robustness and reliability.

Nearline Storage

Nearline Storage offers a robust solution for parking media while ensuring it remains instantly accessible for direct transfer to your EFS online production environment. Built on the same powerful EFS file system that underpins our high-performance media solutions, this parking node guarantees consistent and reliable access to your media assets. With advanced security and fault tolerance at its core, it safeguards your valuable media while minimizing the risk of data loss. Users can park projects on the Nearline Node at any time, freeing up valuable online storage space without sacrificing accessibility.
