Leverage an open platform that provides unprecedented scalability, optimized performance, and data protection.
Additionally, the management console works as the “brain” of the EFS technology stack. You can easily control user permissions, projects, security and administrative privileges.
Creativity Beyond Boundaries
EFS Swift Link technology revolutionizes the creative process by enabling seamless and secure access to media stored on EFS nodes from anywhere in the world. Whether editing with proxies or downloading for offline work (automatically relinking to high-res files when available), Swift Link ensures minimal disruptions and optimal throughput with its advanced latency detection, boosting VPN performance up to 10 times and empowering creatives to collaborate more efficiently across the globe.
Open APIs
Leverage the openly published RESTFul APIs for simple but powerful integration.
Easily accomplish automation of administrative tasks including user permissions, quotas, and projects, saving countless hours of administration.
Native Drivers
Experience increased bandwidth, reliability and reduced latency across the network.
Optimized specifically for creative applications, EFS drivers are native for:
They allow direct connectivity to storage resulting in superior performance. EFS also supports standard protocols like SMB, NFS, and AFP.
Real-time Monitoring
EditShare Guardian offers real-time visibility into the ongoing operations of an EditShare system.
A set of dashboards and analytics tools provide custom search capabilities. The software offers the ability to create custom dashboards and reports based on these searches.
Guardian also records user activities such as media space mounts and unmounts, individual file opens, reads, writes, and deletes. The software provides full system accountability.
Writing and Playback of Files
Excel with a system that is optimized and tuned for the high performance, multi-stream video playback demands of post-production.
EFS maintains performance anywhere. From 100s of streams of concurrent low-bitrate offline editorial streams to demanding multi-stream uncompressed 4K single-file per-frame workflows and beyond.
