EFS is a software defined ecosystem uniquely tailored for media centric environments which:
Collaborative Media Workflow
Share collaborative projects and media with creative users working on-premise and in the cloud. Build the workflows you want on top of an open platform that integrates with industry-leading creative tools from Adobe®, Apple®, Avid®, Autodesk®, Blackmagic Design® and more. Mix and match creative tools while enjoying project sharing and bin locking capabilities in a multi-collaboration environment.
Durable Architecture
Enjoy high availability and extreme reliability with no single point of failure giving facility managers and administrators peace of mind in 24/7 environments. Stay in control with a management console that allows you to adapt the distributed file system to your needs, whether it be a single server of a multi-node cluster. Seamlessly read and utilize parity or copy data from elsewhere in the cluster when a particular storage node is busy or unavailable, increasing performance and reliability with our SwiftRead technology.
Single Name Space
Scale as needed, while retaining a single namespace across tiered storage including nearline disk, SSD, and fast HDD options. Leverage an open platform that provides unprecedented scalability, optimized performance, and data protection. Additionally, with the EFS management console as the “brain” of the EFS technology stack, you can easily control user permissions, projects, security and administrative privileges.
Open APIs
Leverage the openly published RESTFul API’s for simple but powerful integration. Easily accomplish automation of administrative tasks including user permissions, quotas, and projects, saving countless hours of administration.
Native Drivers
Experience increased bandwidth and reliability and reduce latency across the network. Optimized specifically for creative applications, EFS drivers are native for Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems and allow direct connectivity to storage resulting in superior performance while also supporting standard protocols like SMB, NFS, and AFP if needed.
Auditing
Auditing is a crucial part of the EFS technology stack. Real-time analytics reveal every nuance of your valuable content’s journey, in real time. There is complete accountability over who did what, when, to which files and directories which is compliant with industry standards and security guidelines.
Writing and Playback of Files
Excel with a system that is optimized and tuned for the high performance, multi-stream video playback demands of post-production, and will maintain performance anywhere from many hundreds of streams of concurrent low-bitrate offline editorial streams to demanding multi-stream uncompressed 4K single-file per-frame workflows and beyond..
