NAB Show: Avid Brings Cost-Efficient Nearline Storage to Avid | Edit On Demand

Avid Technology, Inc. announced the availability of NEXIS | Cloud Nearline Storage for Avid | Edit On Demand, bringing highly cost-efficient nearline storage to cloud-based content creation workflows.

Production teams relying on the Avid | Edit On Demand editorial-in-the-cloud SaaS solution can now store and access growing libraries of shared content at a fraction of the per-terabyte cost of online storage.

With the addition of NEXIS | Cloud Nearline Storage, content creation teams can flexibly access online and nearline content libraries. Nearline storage complements high performance storage, making it more economical to store long-term assets, such as camera originals, stock footage, and music libraries in the cloud. And, because it’s NEXIS storage, NEXIS | Cloud Nearline Storage is to manage and works with Media Composer, as well as the growing list of certified third-party solutions integrated with Avid | Edit On Demand. This economical storage tier makes Avid | Edit On Demand a more compelling solution for content creation teams, enabling them to spin up editing workgroups in the cloud as needed, with the flexibility to spin them back down when projects are complete.

“Storing heavy professional media in high-performance cloud storage can become cost-prohibitive, so introducing lower-cost nearline storage makes perfect sense, as long as the content remains readily accessible,” said Dave Colantuoni, VP, product management, video and media solutions. “Avid NEXIS | Cloud Nearline Storage allows content creation teams to easily migrate content between high performance cloud storage and economical nearline storage, while keeping everything within reach at all times.”

Open media storage for any workflow
The company’s focus on collaborative shared storage for media has made NEXIS the preferred solution for thousands of production companies, post houses, broadcasters, and other media companies. Proven in several thousands installations WW, NEXIS is an industry standard for teams of professional media creators, enabling content storage, sharing and collaborative storytelling.
