Case Study: University of Sydney achieves flexible 4K shared media workflows with EditShare

Top universities choose shared storage solutions from Digistor and EditShare

The University of Sydney required a robust and secure 4K shared storage solution to support a growing team of editors working on a large volume of high-resolution content. Their media production workflow, which included multicamera live streams and content captured from various sources, demanded high performance and seamless collaboration. They chose EditShare's EFS 300 storage system to meet this challenge.

The implemented EditShare solution provided a 98TB system with RAID redundancy that integrated with the university's existing infrastructure. This allowed editors on both Mac and Windows computers to work concurrently on 4K projects without interruption. The inclusion of the FLOW media application streamlined workflows by enabling easy content logging, proxy creation, and flexible offline work. The result was a significant increase in team efficiency, reducing menial tasks and freeing up staff to focus on more creative and innovative work.
