Avid NEXIS Cross Grade to Subscription from E5 480TB Elite maintenance
Product Overview
The Avid NEXIS Cross-Grade from E5 480TB to F5 with Elite Maintenance is a structured upgrade program for organizations with an existing NEXIS E5 480TB system moving to the NEXIS F5 platform. This cross-grade provides a trade-in pathway to the high-performance F5 storage engine—delivering 25/50GbE connectivity and significantly higher aggregate bandwidth—while retaining Avid Elite Maintenance coverage through the transition. Elite Maintenance is Avid's highest service tier, providing 24/7 telephone support, priority hardware replacement, and top-priority escalation.
Product Description
The NEXIS F5 delivers up to 3.84 GB/s of aggregate bandwidth over 25GbE or 50GbE networking—substantially higher than E5 bandwidth over 10GbE—and supports up to 330 simultaneous clients with Avid NEXIS | SDA+. This cross-grade program facilitates migration from E5 480TB to F5, applying the existing system's trade-in value toward the F5 platform acquisition with continuous Elite Maintenance coverage.
Note: Cross-grade eligibility, trade-in valuation, and transition logistics should be confirmed with Creation Networks prior to purchase. Avid NEXIS | SDA or SDA+ is required for all F5 configurations and is sold separately.
