Request a Demo

WHO IT’S FOR

Built for Facilities Running Avid That Need Storage to Support Every NLE.

Broadcast Facilities

Post Production Houses

News Operations

Multi-NLE Edit Suites

Avid-to-Multi-NLE Transitions

THE PROBLEM

Nexis Was Built for Avid-Only Workflows. Your Team Isn’t Avid-Only Anymore.

When the facility was 100% Avid, Nexis made sense. Now you’ve got editors in Premiere, colorists in DaVinci, and the Nexis licensing model charges per seat for storage that should just work. Scaling means forklift upgrades. Remote editing means buying Nexis Edge. The system that once anchored the facility now limits it.

THE CURRENT WAY

Avid lock-in, per-seat licensing, and forklift upgrades

X icon

Nexis is optimized for Avid. Premiere and DaVinci editors work around it, not with it.

X icon

Per-seat licensing means storage costs scale with headcount, not capacity.

X icon

Scaling requires replacing the hardware. No add-a-node expansion.

X icon

Nexis Edge for remote editing is a separate product with separate costs.

X icon

RAID protection takes media offline during rebuilds.

WITH EDITSHARE SHARED STORAGE FOR VIDEO EDITING

Avid, Premiere, DaVinci, and Final Cut on the same storage. No lock-in.

Full Avid bin locking and project sharing on EFS. Avid workflows work exactly as expected.

Premiere, DaVinci, and Final Cut editors work on the same storage simultaneously. No compatibility workarounds.

Scale by adding nodes. No per-seat licensing. Storage costs match capacity, not team size.

Remote editors mount EFS as local. No separate remote product required.

XOR redundancy: editors keep working during drive failure. More efficient than Nexis RAID.

HOW IT WORKS

What Changes When You Move From Nexis to EFS

EFS delivers everything Avid editors need from Nexis, plus everything the rest of the team needs that Nexis can’t provide.

Full Avid Support

Bin locking, project sharing, and real-time multi-editor access. EFS supports Avid workflows natively. No compromises.

NLE-Agnostic

Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Avid Media Composer on the same storage at the same time. One system for the whole facility.

Node-Based Scaling

Add capacity and throughput by adding nodes. No forklift upgrades. No data migration. No downtime.

No Per-Seat Licensing

Storage pricing based on capacity, not the number of editors connected. Add team members without adding license costs.

XOR Redundancy

More efficient than Nexis RAID. A full node fails and nobody stops editing. 40% more usable space than mirroring.

Built-In Remote Access

Remote editors mount EFS as local storage. No separate remote product. No Nexis Edge required.

WHY IT MATTERS

Enterprise storage security without the enterprise licensing model.

Guardian audit logging tracks every file access.

Role-based permissions at the project and folder level.

XOR data protection keeps production running during hardware failure.

Security features included at every tier.

Scaling Production with FLOW Automation

In high-output post-production, the most expensive asset isn’t the storage or the licenses, it’s the editor’s time. Yet, in many facilities, senior creatives still spend hours on “janitorial” tasks. Read how teams are using FLOW to recapture billable hours and ensure architectural consistency.

How is Video Storage Different

For media teams managing massive files, tight deadlines, and fast-paced collaborative workflows, generic file servers just don’t cut it. In this article, we explore how media-optimized storage differs from standard IT storage, and why making the switch can be a game-changer for creative teams.

Revolutionizing Remote Collaboration

The “office” is no longer a single building when it comes to media production. It’s a global network of edit suites, home offices, and field locations. But for years, the barrier to seamless collaboration has been the dreaded VPN. Here is how we solve the remote access puzzle for good.

Check out the White Paper

Your facility runs more than Avid. Your storage should too.
