EditShare a technology leader in intelligent scale-out storage, AQC and media management solutions, announced that Nairobi-based creative facility, Africa Post Office (APO) has selected the EditShare suite of products to facilitate collaboration and media management for its critically acclaimed film, documentary, and editorial projects.

APO will leverage EditShare EFS high-performance, scale-out shared storage, Flow media asset management (MAM), and Ark archiving backup solution for its projects. The first independent post facility of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, APO is led by multi-award-winning editor Franki Ashiruka whose world-class body of work includes “Poacher” and “Tales from The Bush Larder.”

Serving as APO’s core media foundation, the EFS platform, with its unique collaborative project sharing capabilities, connects offline and online workflows. Coupled with Flow and Ark, the new foundation enables fast and reliable media management across the facility’s creative eco-system of editing, color grading, visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing suites.

The new EditShare powered media management foundation will support APO’s upcoming work on two highly rated reality television shows, “KCB Lion’s Den,” which is based on the internationally franchised “Dragons’ Den” and “The Great Kenyan Bake Off,” a Kenyan version of the immensely popular BBC Show “The Great British Bake Off.”

EditShare’s single node EFS systems, which ships with Flow and Ark, can be configured with additional capabilities such as high availability metadata servers, Flow workflow automation, remote editing modules, and EditShare QScan AQC solution to create a dynamic end-to-end workflow that facilitates media management from ingest to archive.
