Avid NEXIS | FS Advanced License, Required for more than 24 Media P...
Product Overview
The Avid NEXIS | FS Advanced License is the centralized file system management software for Avid NEXIS storage environments. Required for managing NEXIS storage engines, workspaces, and client bandwidth allocation, the FS Advanced License enables system administrators to configure shared workspaces, set per-user and per-workspace bandwidth limits, manage user permissions, and monitor storage system health across all connected NEXIS engines. This license includes Avid ExpertPlus with Hardware Support, providing hardware replacement coverage and expert technical access.
Product Description
The Avid NEXIS | FS (File System) is the core management layer for all NEXIS storage systems. The FS Advanced License provides the full feature set for enterprise and broadcast facility deployments, including advanced bandwidth management, workspace lifecycle controls, real-time system monitoring, and API integration with Avid's broader ecosystem. The FS software runs on the Avid NEXIS | SDA or SDA+ System Director Appliance.
The FS Advanced License enables centralized management of multiple NEXIS engines—including mixed F-Series and E-Series configurations—from a single SDA or SDA+ appliance. Workspace policies, user access, and bandwidth allocations can be configured per user, per workspace, and per client across all engines in the NEXIS fabric. This standalone license is for facilities adding FS management capability separately or renewing outside of a hardware bundle.
Note: Avid NEXIS | SDA or SDA+ is required to run the FS software and is sold separately. ExpertPlus with Hardware Support provides hardware replacement coverage and expert technical access for facilities with capable in-house technical staff.
