Editshare introduced a new line of storage hardware, the Ultimate EFS series, which is designed in house, enabling better performance and a much better price point than the current HPE-based systems.

Packed with more power, more speed, and unmatched performance—all at an unbeatable cost—the Ultimate EFS series sets a new benchmark for scalable, high-performance storage. Whether you need 32TB or over half a PetaByte per node, there’s an Ultimate EFS solution ready to take your production environment to the next level.
Of course, the current HPE-based systems will continue to be offered for those customers who require global enterprise support.
The Ultimate EFS series is a complete range of new models that offer customers the following benefits:

- A full range of solutions: We address all of your cost and storage density needs by offering several new models:
- EFS210 This is an 8 disk system that scales from 32-144TB. This still offers equal overall performance to current EFS200 HPE. (Max of 3 servers per cluster).
- EFS310: scales up to 356TB with a 20% performance increase over the G10 EFS300 (max 8 servers per cluster).
- EFS410: This is a 24 disk system that scales up to 528TB. This system will be sold in a 3 node minimum configuration + Metadata Controller (MDC). (Unlimited number of servers)

- A new 2U MDC that offers more RAM and better CPUs for bigger storage clusters, plus interior space for larger auditing drives. This can also be paired with EFS210 units for the most cost effective HA solution on the market!
And, last but not least, the new EditShare Field! This is a compact and relatively lightweight server that offers very high performance. The storage is all NVMe, meaning very high stream counts, as well as very high bandwidths are possible. These are shipped with four NVMe units, so capacity range from 4TB to 32TB RAW in a RAID 5 configuration. The target market is be news bureaus, sports, as well as on-set data wrangling, or any other need where a portable unit and high performance is required. One other advantage is being able to take the unit back to the main office and use the sync tool to rapidly transfer content to a main EFS server.
