New Avid NEXIS 2020 Collaborative Storage Unveiled for Today’s Demanding Media Workflows
August 25 2020 - 8:00AM
Media organizations, broadcasters, TV and film post-production
facilities and other content creators will achieve unsurpassed
reliability, openness and cost-efficiency in their workflows with
Avid®’s (NASDAQ: AVID) newest collaborative storage release, Avid
NEXIS® 2020, a purpose-built solution for production teams of all
sizes that need to keep working from anywhere to stay ahead of
surging demand for new content. Workflow gains coming from Avid
NEXIS 2020 include up to 40 percent more shared storage in the same
footprint; optimized content mirroring to eliminate downtime and
data loss; flexible storage tiering that combines on-premises and
cloud resources; and broader support for third-party tools.
“Avid NEXIS 2020 introduces deployment flexibility and openness
that enables media creators to work from anywhere to produce
high-quality content during these uncertain times with total
confidence their business is backed by the most reliable, open and
cost-effective media storage available today,” said Dana Ruzicka,
Chief Product Officer, Avid. “Avid NEXIS 2020 is a leap forward in
helping to solve today’s rapidly evolving workflow requirements.
With easily scalable resources on-premises, in the cloud or both,
businesses can better deal with today’s demanding content creation
needs including larger, more sophisticated projects—while always
ensuring teams have seamless access to all the storage they need
wherever they may need it.”
New Avid NEXIS 2020 features include “All-Mirror”
high-availability engines to protect workflows against the widest
range of conditions for failure, including network disruptions,
disk loss or the loss of an entire engine. For time-sensitive
broadcast news, enterprise post-production and live events,
All-Mirror engines provide the highest level of redundancy at the
lowest price point, ensuring teams will avoid workflow disruption
and meet their deadlines.
Avid NEXIS 2020 also debuts with larger capacity drives that
enable workflows to scale more substantially and cost-effectively.
New 140 TB and 160 TB media packs provide higher density storage at
a lower cost, raising the total storage capacity up to 40 percent
per engine, while decreasing the dollars per terabyte to store,
manage, and edit content. In addition to providing the industry’s
first software-defined media storage, Avid NEXIS 2020 now offers
even greater flexibility through storage tiering, which can secure
media across a single pool of mixed resources, both on-premises and
in the cloud, that can include flash, online, nearline and
archive.
Since the introduction of Avid NEXIS four years ago, Avid’s
focus on innovating purpose-built storage for media has made it the
real-time collaborative open solution for thousands of post houses,
broadcasters, studios and media creators. Tens of thousands of
editors, producers, assistants, journalists and other end users
source, build, share and store their stories across countless
on-premises, cloud and hybrid workflows incorporating Avid NEXIS
with a growing range of third-party creative tools and asset
management tools including those from Adobe, Apple, Blackmagic
Design and FilmLight, among many others. Within the release of Avid
NEXIS 2020, Avid introduces support for Autodesk-certified
finishing and visual effects workflows.
“Avid NEXIS is such a huge part of our success because its
efficiencies, speed and flexibility—everything that this
high-powered shared storage can give me—continue to be a
competitive advantage for us,” Mark Satuloff, Founder of Scratch
Media, an Emmy® Award-winning full-service video producer.
