Ultimate EFS NVMe
The flagship. Extreme bandwidth for finishing and uncompressed, file-per-frame workflows. Cluster up to 3 nodes for over 40GB/s aggregate read performance without sacrificing reliability.
Ultimate EFS Series
Introducing the New Ultimate EFS Stack
New storage nodes built to handle everything from finishing workflows to hybrid infrastructures.
Three new storage nodes
Modern production demands faster throughput, bigger capacities, and the flexibility to shift between finishing workflows and everyday editorial. From 8K HDR to high-volume broadcast and VFX, storage can't be the bottleneck. The Ultimate EFS Series now includes three new storage nodes, each built on the same file system and designed to deliver unmatched speed, scalability, and collaboration.
Ultimate EFS NVMe Lite
All the NVMe speed in a cost-optimized 2U, 8-drive system. Delivers 14GB/s per node and is ideal for boutique post, VFX, and facilities that want high performance at a lower entry point.
Ultimate EFS Hybrid
A single chassis combining NVMe and HDD tiers. Use NVMe for finishing and HDD for compressed workflows and capacity. Perfect for teams that need both speed and storage in one system.
Relentless performance
Ultimate EFS NVMe
Engineered for the most demanding finishing and uncompressed workflows. Ultimate EFS NVMe delivers extreme bandwidth and enterprise resilience at scale, for teams that can't afford storage to be the bottleneck.
- Built for the heaviest media demands: UHD, HDR, multi-cam live ingest.
- Aggregate read performance in excess of 40GB/s in an XOR-protected cluster.
- Powered by the EFS Native Client for ultra-low latency connections.
- Includes FLOW, Automation, ARK, and Swift Sync software for end-to-end workflow support.
NVMe for everyone
Ultimate EFS NVMe Lite
True NVMe performance, without compromise on speed or scalability. Designed for smaller facilities and budgets, Ultimate EFS NVMe Lite makes true NVMe performance accessible.
- Compact 2U, 8-drive node delivering 14 GB/s throughput.
- Lower entry cost while keeping true NVMe speed.
- Scales to 8 nodes with linear bandwidth growth.
- Includes FLOW, Automation, ARK, Swift Link, and Guardian analytics software.
The future of versatility
Ultimate EFS Hybrid
The speed for finishing and the capacity for high-volume compressed workflows. By combining NVMe and HDD in a single node, Ultimate EFS Hybrid offers both the speed for finishing and the capacity for high-volume compressed workflows.
- Up to 122TB NVMe + 192TB HDD in a single 2U chassis.
- NVMe for finishing workflows, HDD for capacity and compressed media.
- Perfect for UHD editorial, broadcast, and hybrid workflows.
- Designed for energy efficiency and long-term scalability.
Every node, one ecosystem
Workflow integration
Every Ultimate EFS system comes bundled with the EditShare ecosystem. Native panels for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve keep editors working without leaving their timeline, while Avid editors benefit from tight project and bin sharing directly on EditShare storage.
FLOW
Ingest, search, proxy editing, and automation.
ARK
Archive and backup with always-online proxies.
Swift Link + ZeroTier VPN
Secure remote workflows from anywhere.
Guardian + Auditing
Analytics and security monitoring across every node.
