ES120 EditShare EFS Shared Storage Fundamentals Overview

ES120 is the nuts-and-bolts primer for anyone who has to rack, provision, and keep an EditShare EFS array working at line rate in an on-prem post-production or other media facility. Students leave knowing how to carve out media volumes, set ACLs, map workstations, and keep latency low – before a single asset ever touches Flow or the cloud.

Class Details

Objectives
