Case Study: Sid Lee achieves faster multi-site media collaboration with EditShare

Sid Lee Creates Efficient Multi-site Workflow

Sid Lee, a global creative services firm, faced the challenge of enabling efficient multi-site collaboration and managing a growing library of media assets across its offices in Montreal, Toronto, New York, Paris, and Amsterdam. To overcome this, they partnered with EditShare to upgrade their infrastructure, seeking a solution for secure storage and seamless remote access to their resources.

EditShare implemented a new storage architecture featuring the XStream EFS platform in the main office and XStream ST servers in remote offices, all integrated with Flow media asset management and the AirFlow collaboration tool. This solution provided a secure, high-availability storage environment with a single namespace, enabling real-time editing on high-resolution footage and efficient daily syncing between locations. The result was a transformative workflow that eliminated the need to ship hard drives, freed up editing workstations by moving transcoding to the server, and provided unparalleled remote collaboration capabilities, ultimately saving significant time and resources for Sid Lee.
