Product Overview
The Avid NEXIS VFS File Gateway with Elite Support is a virtual file system gateway for the Avid NEXIS shared storage platform, providing NFS/SMB file protocol access to NEXIS storage for non-NEXIS-native workstations and applications. The VFS File Gateway enables standard file system access from workstations and servers without native NEXIS client software. Elite Support provides Avid's highest support tier with 24/7 priority access and expedited hardware replacement.

Elite Support provides 24/7 priority access, fastest escalation, and expedited hardware replacement.
