Groundbreaking Performance Advancements
EditShare's XStream EFS enterprise shared storage solution has taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of native OS X and Windows client support, lower latency, improved fault-tolerance, and high availability options.
This latest iteration of XStream EFS is designed to manage large volumes of media, ultra-high data rates, and the complexities of collaborative media environments, leveraging key technologies like SwiftRead to mitigate resource contention.
Seamless Integration with EditShare Flow
XStream EFS seamlessly integrates with EditShare Flow media asset management and Ark nearline and archiving solutions, facilitating an end-to-end media workflow across departments, facilities, and remote production locations.
Jimmy Lee, a progressive company in the broadcast industry, has already adopted XStream EFS for its media production infrastructure. Nicolas Forest, technical director at Jimmy Lee, praised the solution's advantages:
'The new XStream EFS architecture brings us many advantages,' Forest said. 'First, it's a strong and secure way to store our files... It's a better way to manage media spaces with the single namespace file system.'
Scalability and High Availability
XStream EFS also sets a new standard when it comes to scalability. Customers like Jimmy Lee can simply add another storage node to increase bandwidth and storage capacity, without interrupting production tasks.
The solution's high availability options include advanced software services that manage multiple metadata controllers and employ advanced cluster communications, resource management, and fencing algorithms to eliminate single points of failure.
