HIGH-PERFORMANCE MEDIA STORAGE WITH SINGLE NAMESPACE SCALABILITY

EFS 310

High-Performance, High Capacity

The EFS 310 has been engineered for intensive post-production and corporate environments. With modular scale-out architecture that starts at 96TB,  it provides impressive performance improvements over previous generations, ensuring uncompromising speed and responsiveness.

Effortless Scalability

The EFS 310’s modular architecture makes it easy to expand as your storage needs grow. Starting at 96TB and scaling up to 2.8PB, you can add new storage nodes without interrupting workflows or requiring complex reconfiguration. The EFS unified namespace means you can  grow your storage without juggling multiple volumes or user accounts, giving teams the centralized access to assets they need.

Optimized Performance Across Platforms

Using the EFS Native Client, a multi-threaded driver, the EFS 310 minimizes overhead and latency to deliver smooth, high-speed performance for Windows, macOS, and Linux workstations. The system supports bonded Ethernet ports for flexible networking options from 10GbE to 100GbE, with each node providing direct data transactions to prevent bottlenecks. This design ensures uninterrupted performance, even during peak production.

Robust Data Protection and Redundancy

For environments requiring constant uptime, the EFS 310 supports XOR parity and COPY protection, giving it resilience against node failures. EditShare’s SwiftRead technology enables uninterrupted access by dynamically re-routing data traffic if nodes are congested, ensuring production workflows remain smooth, even during maintenance or high-demand periods.

Advanced Workflow Automation and Media Management

Equipped with FLOW Asset Management and Automation, the EFS 310 streamlines production workflows. Media management features like cataloging, logging, and search are easily accessible, along with fully integrated NLE panels for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. With its advanced workflow factory capabilities, FLOW Automation simplifies complex processes, creating customizable, automated workflows that can scale as your needs grow. This innovative system not only boosts efficiency but also ensures smoother, faster production cycles, making your life easier by handling the behind-the-scenes work.

Comprehensive Security and Real-Time Analytics

With EditShare Guardian, the EFS 310 offers visibility into system operations, delivering real-time insights into CPU, memory, and disk usage. EFS Auditing enhances security by tracking all file access and user activity in a dedicated log, helping administrators detect anomalies early. Data can also be integrated with third-party SIEM systems for enhanced monitoring.

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.

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.
