The New Reality of Global Media Workflows
Today’s corporate media teams face unprecedented challenges. Content creation no longer happens in one location, It’s a global effort involving distributed teams, freelancers, and stakeholders across different time zones.
While this flexibility brings access to talent worldwide, it also introduces complexity. How do you ensure consistent quality, smooth collaboration, and fast turnaround when your team is scattered across the globe?
Without the right remote collaboration tools, the process becomes chaotic. Files live in multiple places, approvals lag, and communication breaks down. For large organizations producing corporate media content, from internal communications to marketing campaigns, these issues can delay projects and increase costs.

Every production team, whether a small workgroup or a global facility, needs storage that keeps media safe and available. The kind of protection you need depends on scale. That’s why EditShare EFS uses two layers of redundancy:
RAID 6 inside each node for intra-drive-level protection in smaller setups
XOR parity distributes data and parity blocks across multiple nodes, enabling recovery from the complete failure of a single node
This approach ensures you get the right balance of efficiency, performance, and resilience at any size.
Protection for Small Teams: RAID 6
On a single node, EFS uses RAID 6. This means your system can survive two drive failures in that node without losing access to your media. For many small teams, that’s enough resilience to keep projects moving while drives are swapped out.
Protection for Large Teams: XOR Across Nodes
When you grow into three or more nodes, EFS adds cluster-level protection. This is where XOR parity comes in.
XOR (short for Exclusive OR) is the math behind parity. It works by comparing blocks of data across drives and recording a checksum. If one drive or even an entire node is lost, the system can rebuild the missing data by recalculating it from the remaining blocks.
In EFS, this means:
The cluster can tolerate the failure of a full node, in an EFS 310 deployment up to 16 drives, without taking your media offline.
Your system doesn’t lose a heartbeat, nor does it lose bandwidth, as we have calculated that level of protection into the bandwidth numbers we provide you.
Recovery is faster than with traditional RAID because data and parity are spread across multiple nodes, reducing stress on any single drive.
Why Not Mirroring?
Mirroring works by duplicating everything, which is simple but expensive, you lose half your storage capacity to redundancy. At the Petabyte scale, that cost adds up quickly. EFS gives you stronger protection without wasting space.
Bottom Line
For small systems, RAID 6 keeps your media safe at the drive level. As you scale, XOR parity across nodes takes protection further, guarding against node failures while maintaining performance and efficiency.
With EFS, you don’t have to rethink storage as you grow; resilience and linear bandwidth scale with you.
RAID 6 protects data at the drive level within a single node, allowing up to two drives to fail without data loss. XOR parity works at the cluster level, distributing data and parity across multiple nodes so that even if an entire node fails, media remains online and accessible.
If you’re a smaller team running a single EFS node, RAID 6 is usually enough. Once you scale to three or more nodes, XOR parity provides additional protection against full-node failures, which becomes critical at larger sizes.
No. EFS factors XOR parity into its bandwidth calculations. You get the published performance numbers with parity protection included, so your throughput stays consistent even under protection.
Traditional RAID puts stress on a limited number of drives during rebuilds, which can be slow. EFS spreads data and parity across multiple nodes, so recovery is faster and less taxing on any single drive.
Mirroring duplicates all data, which is simple but highly inefficient. It cuts usable capacity in half, which is costly at petabyte scale. EFS provides strong protection without wasting storage.
In a cluster with three or more nodes, the system stays online and maintains bandwidth. Media remains available, and the missing data is rebuilt automatically from parity.
Yes. As you add nodes, EFS automatically extends resilience and scales bandwidth. You don’t have to redesign your setup or rethink protection as your needs increase.

Unlike basic file-sharing tools, MediaSilo combines video review and approval software, collaboration tools, and workflow analytics into one platform, ideal for creative teams working on tight deadlines.
In creative production, sending work out for review is routine, but the activity that follows is what really drives a project forward. Because once you hit send, your next steps depend on a few key questions:
Did the right people review the content?
Which assets got the most attention?
Who downloaded, commented on, or approved which assets, and when?
Too often, this visibility is missing. You send the latest cut to your team, the deadline is days away, and every round of feedback matters. But hours pass, then days, and you still don’t know if anyone has looked at it.
Without answers, deadlines slip, assets sit untouched, and decisions get made without knowing if the right people have seen the right materials. Most review platforms don’t help much; they might show basic view counts, but not who viewed what, when, or for how long, and even that limited data is often scattered across multiple places.
When Visibility Breaks Down
This lack of visibility leads to:
Wasted time: Manually following up with reviewers just to confirm basic activity.
Missed opportunities: Not realizing a key stakeholder never opened the link before a deadline.
Reduced accountability: No clear audit trail of downloads, comments, or approvals tied to specific viewers and assets.
When these gaps compound, projects stall, feedback loops slow, and the team’s ability to make confident, data-informed decisions suffers. In high-stakes creative workflows, that’s not a risk you can afford.
How MediaSilo Solves This with Insights
At MediaSilo, we believe you should be able to see the full story of your share. Every view, comment, download, and approval is a chapter in that story, and it shouldn’t take multiple tools or guesswork to piece it together.
That’s why we built Insights: to give you a complete, real-time picture of activity, so you always know exactly how your content is being received.
The Ask
Other Platforms Give You…
MediaSilo Gives You…
I need a clear way to see all activity on my shared content, without having to manually search across multiple links and files to piece the information together.
Most platforms offer surface-level analytics, showing only total views without revealing exactly who engaged or what actions they took.
A centralized Insights dashboard that consolidates all engagement data in one place, with the ability to drill into asset histories and viewer actions for a complete view of activity.
I need to track all my shared content in one place, not just the links I’ve created.
In many tools, you can only see the shares you personally created, leaving administrators in the dark about other team activity.
Admin visibility into every link created in your workspace by any user, ensuring complete oversight across all projects.
I need a quick way to match viewers with the assets they’ve engaged with.
Without cross-referencing, it’s hard to tell which viewer saw which assets, especially when they’re spread across multiple links or presentations.
Easily switch between “Viewers” and “Assets”: click a viewer to see every asset they’ve engaged with, or click an asset to see everyone who’s viewed, downloaded, or approved it.
I want to know where an asset has been shared and how it’s performing across all links.
Many platforms can’t trace a single file across multiple share points, limiting performance insights.
Asset-centric reporting shows every share link containing that file, plus the full list of viewers and their engagement history.
With Insights, you can stop guessing and start knowing. In fast-moving workflows, a clear, actionable view into who did what, when – from views to downloads to approvals – is the difference between a smooth, confident delivery and a chaotic follow-up scramble.
Every share link becomes a measurable touchpoint. Instead of chasing updates, you’ll have:
A clear record of every viewer’s activity.
Instant visibility into asset performance across links.
Full workspace oversight for administrators.
The right video review and approval software should do more than collect comments; it should provide analytics across the entire feedback process. That data is what connects media review workflow management, giving teams the clarity they need to stay aligned and keep work moving.
MediaSilo’s Insights feature makes this possible by turning feedback into clear data on who engaged, how, and when – all in one place. With that visibility, you can cut down on guesswork, make faster decisions, and focus your time on the work that matters most.
