Leeds Trinity University Raises the Bar in Media Infrastr...

Leeds Trinity University, recently ranked No. 1 in the UK for Journalism by The Guardian's University Guide 2025, has enhanced its media production capabilities with cutting-edge EditShare technology, delivered in collaboration with channel partner Altered Images. The new system, built on the elite performance of EFS NVMe architecture, coupled with new nearline EFS nodes, provides exceptional breakthrough performance and scalability to meet the university's growing media demands. This investment underscores the university's commitment to equipping its students with leading-edge professional-grade tools for modern content creation.

In response to demands for increased bandwidth and performance for more simultaneous creative users, Leeds Trinity University sought a solution that combined cost-effectiveness with breakneck performance. The decision to select EditShare technology was influenced by the company's proven track record of providing reliable media engineered production storage nodes previously implemented at the University.

The upgrade was driven by the need to handle more high-resolution media streams and support more simultaneous users. The advanced high-performance NVMe architecture, optimized by EditShare's media-aware EFS file system, delivers the bandwidth and low-latency access required to easily handle these demands. Complementing this, EditShare's EFS near-line system delivers robust data protection with reliable daily incremental backups. Additionally, the platform's compatibility with a wide array of creative applications ensures efficient collaboration and media management across diverse environments.

The system, which went live in September, has already delivered transformative results for Leeds Trinity University's media operations. The enhanced bandwidth allows more users to access the system without compromising performance and the daily backups ensure data security and continuity.

The recent classification by The Guardian as the No. 1 University in the UK for Journalism is in large part due to the wonderful facilities we provide, of which EditShare is central, said Mark Willett, Media Facilities Manager at Leeds Trinity University. We are thrilled to be the first university in our region to embrace this cutting-edge technology. Our new EditShare system not only improves our capabilities but also underscores our commitment to providing students and staff with the best possible resources to achieve their goals.

This investment exemplifies the innovative and cost-efficient approach that we strive to support with our solutions, said Sean Bradley, RSM for Northern Europe, EditShare. They are designed to empower institutions and organizations to meet their media management challenges with confidence, enabling them to focus on supporting creativity and collaboration.
