EditShare’s NVMe storage lineup and new FLOW automation tools deliver faster performance and more collaborative production, alongside a new integration with Octopus Newsroom.
EditShare has added new NVMe options to its storage portfolio and automation features to FLOW media asset management software. These updates for high-performance, collaborative production and post operations were shown at IBC 2025 in Amsterdam earlier in September.
FLOW Automation Adds Send to Site
A new Send to Site task in FLOW Automation accelerates the movement of media and metadata between locations, and increases security and reliability. Send to Site enables direct transfer of high-resolution media, proxies and metadata between EditShare systems by taking advantage of EditShare’s multisite architecture and Warp transfer services. Warp uses either API or file transfer TCP (transmission control protocol) ports available on EditShare servers.
To set up multi-site operations, on-premises workflows can be extended with MediaSilo, a dedicated digital space for real-time collaboration, creating a hybrid environment where media and metadata flow between locations. EditShare Swift Link bridges the remote workstations and is able to adapt dynamically to network latency. This feature automatically optimises media delivery of proxy and/or high-resolution files, avoiding downloading to leave comments, work in parallel on a project or review cuts.
It also removes the need for manual sidecar files or redundant proxy generation, saving time and reducing errors. Integrated with EditShare One workflows, teams can schedule media space transfers, trigger automated workflows or, for individual movements, just right-click and send assets between locations. The feature has been tested in existing deployments and is available now in FLOW 2025.2.0.

More Mobile Capacity in Ultimate EFS Field
EditSHare’s Ultimate EFS Field portable NVMe-powered storage was first launched at IBC 2024. Its capacity has now been increased for 2025 to up to 122 TB, prepared for capturing dailies, editing in the field and keeping productions moving when the shoot takes place in remote places.
The system is rugged and suitable for air travel and mobile crews. Integration with the EditShare multisite workflows system [as above] allows footage to be transferred securely back to the studio with SwiftSync, a high-speed, secure transfer service.
EFS Ultimate NVMe – New Options
As well as the higher capacity, EditShare’s NVMe lineup now has three new options. The Ultimate 24 NVMe Node, which is now shipping, has sufficient bandwidth for uncompressed, file-per-frame workflows including 8K finishing. With over 24GB/s aggregate performance, it enables real-time DPX capture and can compete with SAN performance.
A further two options were debuted at the show. Ultimate EFS NVMe Lite serves as an entry point to NVMe performance with eight NVMe drives in a 2RU size, delivering up to 14GB/s read throughput per node and making XOR-protected NVMe groups achievable at lower cost and scale. Ultimate Hybrid NVMe/HDD Node combines NVMe performance with high-capacity HDDs in a single chassis. Users can define separate storage tiers, moving projects between HDD and NVMe as needed without downtime. This node works well for facilities balancing their regular 4K offline workflows with occasional ultra-high-bitrate finishing projects.
EditShare and Octopus for Connected Newsrooms
EditShare and NRCS developer Octopus Newsroom have collaborated on a fully integrated, end-to-end newsroom solution, which they showed at IBC. It combines the Octopus newsroom platform with EditShare’s media infrastructure, aiming for greater speed and scalability for news teams as they plan, produce and deliver stories.
Octopus NRCS supports single-channel broadcasters up to global networks, and now has over 100 third-party integrations via MOS protocol and APIs. Due to its open approach, it is compatible with studio automation, playout, graphics and AI-driven tools. It can be used for real-time script editing, rundown management and publishing to broadcast, digital and social channels.
EditShare complements this scope with robust media infrastructure including the EFS Shared Storage and FLOW MAM. High-availability configurations and native drivers for Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer and DaVinci Resolve make sure that editing teams can collaborate without interruption.
FLOW automates ingest, proxy creation, versioning and AI-driven metadata tagging. Integrated with Octopus, FLOW accelerates content search and retrieval, giving journalists immediate access to assets during breaking news. Multi-Channel Ingest captures satellite, field, and agency feeds for instant use in scripting, editing, and playout.
Vbox rundown integration connects directly with Octopus via MOS, allowing producers and directors to manage rundowns, preview assets and adapt live output in real time. The Vbox News playout system for live programs production connects Octopus and EditShare shared storage, and maintains full synchronisation with the newsroom, exchanging in real time rundown modifications and the status of each story.
Together, the EditShare and Octopus create a faster connected newsroom environment with instant access to high-resolution assets, and journalists, editors, producers and directors can work in parallel across locations. Teams can scale the infrastructure from 32TB to more than 20PB, depending on newsroom demand, from local stations to 24/7 global networks. editshare.com
