COMPACT AND POWERFUL MEDIA STORAGE

EFS 210

Budget-Friendly and Scalable

The Ultimate EFS 210 is designed to meet the unique needs of media creators, delivering unmatched performance and scalability in a compact, budget-friendly format. Tailored for boutique facilities, the EFS 210 allows organizations to start with a single 32TB node and easily expand up to a 432TB cluster as required, providing more bandwidth, more stream counts and more processing power than previous EFS generations of a similar size.

Scalability Without Complexity

With its modular design, the EFS 210 offers simple, hassle-free scalability. As your production demands grow, expand capacity and bandwidth by adding additional storage nodes. The EFS 210 maintains a unified namespace across the cluster, eliminating the need for complex user and volume management, so your team can focus on creativity, not storage administration.

Enterprise-Grade Reliability and Data Protection

The EFS 210 goes beyond traditional storage reliability, supporting XOR and COPY protection schemes that tolerate node failures without compromising data. In multi-node configurations, EditShare’s SwiftRead technology enhances resilience by allowing workstations to access alternative nodes during congestion, ensuring consistent performance and availability even in high-demand situations.

Integrated Workflow Tools

An All in One configuration runs FLOW services and storage on a single EFS Node, eliminating the need for any additional hardware. Scale easily by adding FLOW Ultimate Production Nodes as more power is needed.

FLOW Asset Management includes powerful applications to enhance production efficiency from start to finish. Intuitive tools for media logging, cataloging, and editing, with integrated support for leading NLEs like Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve, and Adobe Premiere Pro. ARK Media Archive automates LTO media backup and retrieval, keeping proxy files online for easy access to archived content directly within the production environment.

NDI Support

The Ultimate EFS Storage Nodes now support direct ingest of live NDI feeds into an EFS MediaSpace, streamlining real-time production. With full Edit While Capture (EWC) support, users can begin editing while media is still being recorded. Capture both the main transmission feed and a clean feed for greater post-production flexibility. Need more inputs? Add a FLOW Ultimate Elite Worker Node for up to 8 NDI ISO ingest streams. This feature is standard on the EFS 310 and optional on EFS 210 and Ultimate Field models. By integrating live feeds into shared storage, EFS enables faster, more collaborative editing for broadcast, sports, and live events.

Centralized Control for Simplified Administration

With EFS Control, system administrators gain complete visibility and control over users, permissions, quotas, and reporting. Designed for a smooth, intuitive experience, EFS Control allows you to manage users and expand storage effortlessly while maximizing uptime.

Collaboration and Remote Work, Redefined

The EFS 210 is equipped with EditShare Connect for efficient project collaboration, enabling secure access to media and enforcing permissions across workstations. For distributed teams, EditShare Swift Link transforms the EFS 210 into a private cloud, allowing remote media access and adjusting automatically for latency to optimize performance. Additionally, EditShare Swift Sync enables fast, secure content synchronization between locations, perfect for sharing media across regional offices or remote sites.
