Avid Unveils Avid NEXIS | E5 NL Nearline Storage Solution
April 07 2018 - 12:36PM
AVID CONNECT – Avid®
(Nasdaq:AVID), the platform for media and entertainment, today
introduced Avid NEXIS® | E5 NL nearline storage solution. With the
addition of this high-density on-premises solution to the Avid
NEXIS family—the world’s first software-defined storage platform
for media—Avid customers can seamlessly and efficiently manage
media across all of their online, nearline, and archive storage
resources. Unveiled today at the fifth annual Avid Connect, Avid
NEXIS | E5 NL will be demonstrated at the NAB Show in Avid’s booth
#SU801, April 9-12.
Avid NEXIS | E5 NL is tightly integrated into Avid media
applications, services and workflows, and includes a new web-based
Avid NEXIS management console app for managing, controlling and
monitoring Avid | NEXIS installations. Avid NEXIS l E5 NL can be
easily accessed through MediaCentral® | Cloud UX or Media Composer®
and also integrates with MediaCentral | Production Management,
MediaCentral | Asset Management, and MediaCentral | Editorial
Management to drive collaboration, including project and bin
sharing. Extending the Avid NEXIS | FS (file system) to a secondary
storage tier eliminates the need for third-party tools to search
for, find and import media from multiple pools of third-party
storage, enabling users to locate content distributed throughout
their operations more quickly and efficiently.
“Managing multiple storage systems from multiple vendors is
costly, time consuming, and results in slow, unreliable and
inefficient workflows,” said Dana Ruzicka, Chief Product Officer at
Avid. “With the addition of Avid NEXIS | E5 NL, Avid NEXIS offers
customers a comprehensive range of media-optimized storage
solutions, from nearline to very high-performance all-flash SSD
storage, all under one storage architecture and one file system,
all with the hallmark scalability, redundancy, and reliability of
Avid NEXIS.”
Ideally suited for project parking, staging workflows and proxy
archive, Avid NEXIS | E5 NL streamlines the workflow between active
and non-active assets, allowing media organizations to park assets
and completed projects on high-density nearline storage, and keep
them within easy reach for rediscovery and reuse. Up to eight Avid
NEXIS | E5 NL engines can be integrated as one virtualizable pool
of storage, making it easy for teams to find and access parked
assets and projects. In addition, other Avid NEXIS Enterprise
engines can be integrated into a single storage pool and the
storage can be partitioned for better archival organization.
Additional Avid NEXIS | E5 NL features
include:
- The ability to configure, control and monitor Avid NEXIS using
the updated management console aligned with MediaCentral | Cloud
UX. Its dashboard provides an overview of the system’s performance,
bandwidth, and status, as well as access to quickly configure and
manage workspaces, storage groups, user access, notifications, and
other functions. The flexibility and security of HTML5 enables
mobile device support, allowing users to monitor and configure
their system while on the go.
- Scalability from 480 TB of storage to more than 7 PB by
connecting multiple Avid NEXIS | E5 NL engines together as a single
nearline system for a highly-scalable, lower-cost secondary tier of
storage.
- A flexible storage infrastructure which can be provisioned with
required capacity and fault-tolerance characteristics.
AvailabilityAvid NEXIS | E5 NL will be
available in May 2018.
