Avid NEXIS F-Series Raises the Bar on Media Storage Performance and Scalability for Collaborative On-Premises and Cloud Workflows
July 12 2022 - 11:47AM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today unveiled the next generation of its
patented Avid NEXIS® shared storage solutions with the Avid NEXIS
F-series family of storage engines and Avid NEXIS | VFS™ (virtual
file system). Available now, the Avid NEXIS F-series solutions
allow media production teams of all sizes to work from anywhere by
providing secure, remote access to media and metadata across
online, nearline, cloud and archive storage. Avid NEXIS | VFS
allows users to deploy Avid NEXIS storage on-premises, in the
cloud, or as a SaaS solution, simplifying their ability to
collaborate from anywhere, as well as to adapt and grow their
business in today’s rapidly changing media production landscape.
Avid NEXIS F-seriesWith performance that can
scale to more than 30 gigabytes per second, the new family of Avid
NEXIS F-series storage engines gives media production organizations
the power to accelerate the most complex media workflows. The speed
and capacity of the Avid NEXIS F-series accommodates business
growth, new projects and remote collaboration without disruption or
down time. With its modular, cost-effective design, the Avid NEXIS
F-series is ideal for any size team, project and workflow.
This new generation of Avid NEXIS shared storage systems, which
provides storage with no latency or delay for collaborative and
real-time workflows, also includes the Avid NEXIS | PRO+™
introduction for smaller collaborative teams. The Avid NEXIS | PRO+
delivers the proven reliability teams demand to optimize the entire
lifecycle of their content at every production stage—from ingest,
editing, and finishing, to project parking, backup, repurposing and
archive. Production teams can tackle these tasks without
dropping a single frame — even when working with high-res media in
the most demanding broadcast and post-production environments.
Avid NEXIS | VFSServing as the
brain of the Avid NEXIS F-series and Avid NEXIS | PRO+, the
completely reimagined Avid NEXIS | VFS now virtualizes storage into
a single pool of shared resources. It accelerates collaborative
media workflows by allowing teams of any size to quickly and
securely access content from anywhere.
Avid NEXIS | VFS software also features built-in intelligence to
automate administrative tasks and allow Avid NEXIS F-series storage
to adapt to changing workloads without user intervention. From
dynamically reallocating storage capacity and optimizing bandwidth
to delivering protection with automatic drive rebuild, it provides
the agile environment and reliability required for 24x7
operations.
Avid NEXIS | VFS also powers easy collaboration and fast
turnaround, no matter what video, audio, news, sports or graphics
production tools are being used. Hundreds of users can
simultaneously browse, find and share media and projects from
anywhere — in the facility, on location, or at home — keeping their
organization's entire content library and archive within easy
reach.
"With remote collaboration now being the norm for most
production and creative teams around the world, media organizations
are looking to scale their infrastructures and take the next step
on their cloud journeys without impacting performance or
reliability," said David Colantuoni, Vice President, Product
Management for Video and Media Solutions at Avid. "Avid NEXIS lets
organizations of all sizes do exactly that. From powering unmatched
collaborative performance to bringing intelligence into media
workflows and delivering unprecedented flexibility, Avid NEXIS
enables remote operations like never before."
Avid NEXIS | FLEX SubscriptionThe new Avid
NEXIS F-series and Avid NEXIS | VFS are available today as a
subscription offering via the recently announced Avid NEXIS | FLEX

customers to gain the financial benefits of an OPEX business model
while also simplifying their ability to migrate from a traditional,
