George Blood LP Expands Preservation Capabilities with EditShare NVMe-Powered Storage
The audiovisual preservation specialist deployed EditShare's Ultimate NVMe storage nodes, installed by Key Code Media, to digitize up to 50TB of content a day at 2K and 4K.
George Blood LP, a leading provider of audio and video preservation services, has deployed EditShare's high-performance Ultimate NVMe storage nodes to power its rapidly expanding digitization and restoration workflows.
The move to NVMe lets George Blood LP meet surging demand for film and video preservation without sacrificing quality. The company, which handles projects for broadcasters, universities, government agencies, and cultural institutions worldwide, is now digitizing up to 50 terabytes of content daily, including 2K and 4K film scans alongside high-volume audio transfers.
Key Code Media, a nationwide systems integrator and long-time EditShare partner, led the installation with its New York team and continues to provide ongoing service through its Key Code Total Care program. The system was validated within George Blood's advanced infrastructure, including LaserGraphics and MWA film scanners; EditShare is the only storage vendor verified by LaserGraphics to handle the performance demands of its scanners.
"We pushed the system as hard as we could, and we couldn't break it. In stress tests we sustained 16 gigabytes per second in writes, well above our expectations, with total stability," said Jared Gibson, Video Team Lead at George Blood LP.
"George Blood LP is one of the most unique customers we've worked with. Their workflows are highly customized, and the fact that our storage slotted in and delivered the performance they needed shows how adaptable and powerful the system really is," said Julia Crowe, Regional Sales Manager, EditShare.
"We can take on a semi-truck of media and still deliver at the highest quality. We're proud to combine scale with the care these collections deserve, and EditShare has given us the infrastructure to keep growing," said George Blood, President of George Blood LP.
