The gold standard in nearline storage
Ultimate EFS 60NL
Free up your production nodes. Reimagined nearline storage that offers more reliability, unparalleled data protection, and cost-effective capacity to keep your production flowing.
Purpose-built nearline media storage
Media parking, without compromise.
Immediately accessible, affordably fast. The Ultimate EFS 60NL is engineered for media parking that's immediately accessible but doesn't demand the ultrafast speeds of active production. Ideal for projects in pause mode or content you'll need soon, it strikes the perfect balance between affordability and performance, without compromising the quality or reliability synonymous with EditShare.
Two decades of shared storage
Nearline storage, reimagined.
For over two decades, EditShare has set the standard in scalable, high-performance shared storage. The Ultimate Series takes that further with enterprise-grade solutions designed specifically for collaborative media workflows. With the Ultimate EFS 60NL, we've reimagined nearline storage to offer more reliability, unparalleled data protection, and cost-effective capacity to keep your production flowing.
Intelligent media management
Move media where it belongs.
Storage management, simplified. Integrate Ultimate 60NL nodes into your existing EFS shared storage cluster and free up valuable online storage by migrating dormant media assets. EFS's advanced storage goal features let you assign specific priorities, moving media transparently and easily between nodes without disrupting workflows.
Scalable and flexible
Up to 1.44PB in a single 4U.
Start small, scale on your terms. EFS 60NL delivers up to 1.44PB of raw capacity within a single 4U chassis. Start with a single, half-populated node with one MediaPack and expand by adding a second MediaPack at any time. This modular architecture ensures your infrastructure scales in tandem with your organization's demands.
Disaster recovery and business continuity
Your workflow doesn't skip a beat.
Pair a Metadata Controller with EFS 60NL nodes to establish a self-contained storage cluster for secure data replication, using SwiftSync for content duplication. Add a third node to enable High Availability with XOR protection. If your main production storage is ever unavailable, the 60NL lets you shift editing suites to nearline storage for uninterrupted access to your projects and assets.
Key features
Reliable capacity, built to scale.
Everything the Ultimate EFS 60NL brings to your nearline tier, from massive capacity to built-in resilience.
Massive nearline capacity
Up to 1.44PB of raw capacity in a single 4U chassis, perfect for storing media you need accessible but not at production speeds.
Seamless EFS integration
Integrates into existing EFS storage clusters, letting media assets migrate transparently without workflow interruption.
Flexible, future-proof scaling
Start with a half-populated configuration and expand with an additional MediaPack as your needs grow.
Built-in disaster recovery
Supports independent cluster setups for secure disaster recovery, with efficient content replication using EditShare's SwiftSync tools.
Workflow resilience
Switch editing suites to nearline storage during production disruptions, ensuring uninterrupted project access.
