IBC 2024: EditShare Ultimate EFS Series Next-Gen Storage Platform

EditShare LLC is set to redefine media storage at IBC 2024 with the launch of the Ultimate EFS Series, the next-gen storage platform.

It has been renowned for its robust storage nodes and networks, powered by its proprietary, media-aware EFS file system. At IBC 2024, it will introduce a new portfolio of storage devices designed to simplify and lower the cost of building shared collaborative storage. Whether a facility needs 32TB or more than half a petabyte in a single node, firm’s scalable solution can expand beyond 15PB within a single namespace.

The Ultimate Series will be available in 2U, 3U, and 4U form factors, alongside a portable field unit for enhanced remote flexibility. The EFS 210, EFS 310, and EFS 410 nodes cater to a range of users, from boutique post-production houses to national broadcasters with mission-critical playout needs. The Ultimate Field portable unit, built on the latest NVMe architecture, delivers high bandwidth on location and features integrated SwiftSync technology for secure, high-speed transfer of dailies to global EFS facilities.

Leveraging the latest advancements in technology and resource management, these storage nodes come at unprecedented price points, bringing the power of EFS to a broader audience. The new nodes also integrate with existing EditShare deployments and will come bundled with FLOW asset management, ARK LTO tape archival platform and MediaSilo review and approval tools.

“From the beginning, our mission has been to equip media professionals with practical, powerful, and cost-effective tools,” said Tara Montord, co-Founder and EVP of sales. “The innovations we’re launching at IBC give users more power, speed, and capacity without sacrificing security – all at a price point that’s truly groundbreaking.“

“With these advances, we’re delivering a revolution in content and workflow management that empowers the creative industry to do what they do best: tell great stories,” he added.

As well as the new storage architecture and devices, the company will be showcasing the latest versions of its software solutions, including EFS, FLOW , MediaSilo and screeners at IBC2024. 

Demonstrations will also feature EditShare FLEX and FLEX Sync, now adding simple cloud storage architectures and the ability to sync with services like Amazon S3, Wasabi and Backblaze.
