Archive & ARK
Every project, searchable and safe for years.
Keep finished content indexed, protected, and instantly retrievable on cost-efficient tiers, so your archive works for you instead of gathering dust.
The Challenge
An archive you can't search is a cost, not an asset.
Finished content still has value, if you can find it. Most facilities sit on years of finished projects, raw footage, and branded content, locked away on tapes and drives no one can search. EditShare keeps that library indexed and online-adjacent, so past work fuels new business, faster turnarounds, and long-term monetization.
What You Get
Archive that pays for itself.
Cost-efficient tiers, indexed search, and fast retrieval, all connected to your production storage.
Indexed, searchable archive
Content stays fully indexed in FLOW, so archived projects remain searchable and instantly retrievable, not lost on a shelf.
Retrieval in minutes
Pull past projects back into active production in minutes rather than hours, without hunting for tapes or drives.
Cost-efficient capacity
Park finished and infrequently used media on lower-cost tiers while keeping your high-performance storage lean.
Protected & resilient
Redundant protection and integrity checks keep long-term assets safe for years of retention and rights delivery.
Cloud & LTO options
Archive to nearline disk, LTO, or the cloud, and move media intelligently between tiers with FLEX Sync.
One connected namespace
Nearline and archive tiers stay part of the same EFS ecosystem, so there is no separate silo to manage.
One platform, every tier
Move media to the right tier, automatically.
Active, nearline, and archive tiers share one namespace and one media management layer, so content flows to the most cost-effective place while staying searchable everywhere.
High-performance EFS storage for active production and editing.
Cost-efficient, searchable storage for completed and reusable content.
Long-term retention on LTO and cloud, indexed and instantly findable.
Nearline keeps completed but still-active content online at lower cost for fast reuse. Archive is for long-term retention on cost-efficient tiers such as LTO or cloud. Both stay indexed in FLOW so content remains searchable.
