NEXIS

Workflow-optimized tiered storage for real-time media production

Avid NEXIS delivers performance-tuned, workflow-optimised storage, accelerating media production while ensuring high availability. It integrates into any production environment and offers flexible provisioning, making it easy to adapt to changing needs and priorities.

Unify storage tiers in a single solution

Mix and match multiple engines to create a single pool of virtualized tiered storage, eliminating storage silos. Unite media across flash, online, nearline, and archive storage—on premises or in the cloud—making it easier to find, retrieve, and repurpose content while reducing media duplication, wrangling, and costs.

Collaborate in real time

Enable hundreds of users to connect and share media in real time—no matter what they use. In partnership with Avid, Apple, Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Autodesk, FilmLight, Grass Valley, and many other manufacturers, Avid NEXIS has been extensively tested to optimise the workflow integration with their respective creative tools.

Collaborate efficiently

Avid NEXIS streamlines your media workflow no matter what tools you use, enabling hundreds of Avid and third-party creators to connect, share media, and collaborate in real time from anywhere. Access your entire media library across multiple storage tiers, enabling teams to optimize the lifecycle of your content. Adapt quickly to changing priorities and needs by reallocating capacity, bandwidth, and disk protection on the fly to handle critical projects. And enable collaboration from anywhere between Avid and Adobe editors, assistants, showrunners, producers, and other contributors by adding a subscription to Avid NEXIS | EDGE.

Simplify Storage

Simplify storage with a scalable solution

Forget the headache of managing multiple volumes of storage. With software-defined storage, you can mix and match Avid NEXIS engines to create a single pool of virtualized storage, minimizing media duplication, wrangling, and costs.

Protect your assets

Avid NEXIS video storage solutions provide the bulletproof security and fail-safe protection you need to keep your media and workflows safe. From single- and dual-disk protection, automatic drive rebuild, and media mirroring, to high availability options and the ability to set user permissions down to the folder level, you can collaborate confidently with peace of mind.
