EditShare EFS 200

EFS 200 is scale-out shared storage that delivers the benefits of EditShare File System in a size that meets the capacity and budget requirements of boutique collaboration teams and smaller media facilities. With its simple building-block approach, scaling capacity and bandwidth as the needs of the organization grow is as easy as plugging in additional storage nodes.

EFS 200 takes advantage of the enterprise file system, offering enterprise class tools and redundancy to smaller facilities.

The EFS 200 is powered at its core with the unique and multi-award-winning EditShare File System (EFS). Benefits include a single namespace file system and EFS Native Client connection protocol, allowing workstations to connect via our lightening-fast, multi-threaded driver. Clients can expect to achieve a 20% performance boost compared to legacy IT transactional Protocols such as SMB and AFP. When expanded into a multi-node configuration, associated workstations employ a direct path to each storage node avoiding hot spots, increasing fault tolerance and ensuring no dropped frames during playback with our intelligent SwiftRead contention management.

Expanding capacity and performance with a system is easy. Simply connect one or more EFS 200 storage nodes via a network switch. The EFS file system automatically rebalances existing data and implements the specified media protection mechanism(s) in the background while the server continues to support production. The expanded system still maintains a single namespace, so no need to juggle multiple RAID partitions and decide where to put Media Spaces.
