Spectra’s StorCycle storage lifecycle management software is an easy, affordable and efficient solution built specifically to identify inactive data that consumes expensive primary storage capacity. It then migrates identified data to a more affordable protected tier of storage called the Perpetual Storage Tier, while leaving the data fully accessible to users. The Perpetual Storage Tier holds inactive data, which is tracked, protected and is available at a future time if needed, or even deleted when the data has reached the end of its lifecycle. This tier is also used for data distribution, backup, archive, disaster recovery and more.

More than 80 percent of data is being stored on the wrong tier of storage, costing organizations millions of dollars a year. IT professionals intuitively know they are not storing their data efficiently because they have never been given the correct tools to do so… until now. Spectra Logic’s StorCycle software is the answer to deploying a modern storage lifecycle management workflow. StorCycle reduces the overall cost of storing data by up to 70 percent.

The consumption of content continues to accelerate on an upwards path and the need to efficiently acquire, manage and deliver across the entire content supply chain becomes ever more compelling.

To achieve optimum performance we need to consider following a digital transformation strategy that builds on the four pillars of the content supply chain:

• Content – in all its forms, digital and physical, video, audio, graphics, captions, subtitles, scripts and documents, as well as all the associated and additional metadata


• Workflow – Nothing happens to content without direction, as simple or complex as needed. Business processes, logic and decisions must be performed to create cohesive and efficient workflows, taking into account both manual, and the increasing amount of automated tasks


• Resources – Workflows don’t happen without somebody or something managing and orchestrating them, whether it be a person and/or technology


• Analytics – How do you know how well your operation is running and that you’ve implemented efficient working practices? Analytics. Being able to measure and manage the business across the above 3 pillars enables an organisation to automate elasticity in resource utilisation, to understand the metrics of its operation, how efficient they are and ultimately how the bottom line is affected by them.

Undertaking a strategy that creates tight integration of all 4 pillars will deliver significant benefits to the organisation. Maximising the benefit requires the implementation of an agile and flexible content supply chain solution, so implementing a business solution, such as Mediaflex-UMS (Unified Media Services), that embraces all 4 pillars will ultimately lead to a significantly more efficient operation.

From its concept, Mediaflex-UMS has been designed to integrate these 4 pillars and place clients in control of their content, metadata and the business processes across their content supply chains. Equally as important, it was designed to place our customers in control of the Mediaflex-UMS platform.

So often organisations find out the hard way that the implementation of a new system requires them to go back to the vendor and/or rely on technology experts to modify the code to cater for new business processes, or modify existing ones, as the business changes. This often leads to the question “Do I build or buy?”.

With Mediaflex-UMS you get the best of both worlds: buying a system that allows authorised personnel to use the tool-sets built into the system to design, modify and configure it to meet the ever-changing demands of the business as the consumption of media continues to change.

We’ve not met a media business on the planet that doesn’t have a digitised asset problem. Lack of metadata, no understanding of content, zero monetisation capabilities and gigantic and disorganized archives. Not to mention expensive asset management, overpriced syndication and VOD preparation, and notoriously slow and extortionate manual services.

A recent study on Media Industry revealed that out of all the content spread around different servers & clouds, 25% to 30% are duplicates.

• A variety of content operations are responsible for generating multiple duplicates, which add to storage costs and slow down migration to content. These duplicates are almost similar variants of the same content, which makes their identification difficult.


• Furthermore, while fast migration to the cloud is necessary to streamline content management, cloud storage is expensive.  

Hence, an end-to-end smart Video Intelligence solution is a must-have to manage content well and save on unnecessary expenses.

Quantiphi’s Video Deduplication Solution enables Media Enterprises to autodetect, delete, and restore similar content, thus saving on cloud expenses and automating content operations.

The best of access speeds and data safety with countless disk configurations is a game-changer. With the ease of creating RAID volumes, the flexibility to use multiple enclosures and the foresight to prevent disk failure, SoftRAID helps you manage your data like a pro at a fraction of the cost.

• Create and/or delete raid volumes easily


• New disk? Test it first with certify


• Check your data or volume at any time


• Five raid levels for all uses
  
  
  
  • RAID 0, 1, 4, 5, 1+0 (10)
  
  
  
  


• 24/7 Disk failure warning via email

When it comes to protection, SoftRAID stays steps ahead of data loss. SoftRAID checks new disks before you use them, warns you when a disk is about to fail, and keeps working after a disk fails.

If speed is what you’re after, SoftRAID leads the race. SoftRAID enables the use of up to 16 disks in a single volume or the ability to spread volumes over two or more enclosures for unprecedented speeds.

For optimal speed and safety, SoftRAID is in a class by itself.

SoftRAID checks new disks before you use them. New disk? SoftRAID's certify feature will tell you if your disk is bad, before you save precious data to it—protecting you against using a disk that is faulty or about to fail.

Always on and never in the way.  SoftRAID Monitor runs scans in the background—even when you're not logged in—making it ideal for use on servers. And when you're logged in and working, it uses a minimum of CPU power, so you won't even notice it's there.

Keep working after a disk fails. If you use a SoftRAID mirror (RAID 1), RAID 4, RAID 5 or RAID 1+0 volume, your work is protected against disk failure. Even if one of your disks fails, you can keep right on working and make your deadline. None of your files will be lost. How great is that?

 

SoftRAID supports five levels of RAID optimized for speed, safety, or both. Any SoftRAID volume can have up to 16 disks.

• RAID 0 – Stripes
  
  
  
  • Fastest
  
  
  
  


• RAID 1 – Mirrors
  
  
  
  • Safest RAID
  
  
  
  


• RAID 4 – Dedicated Parity
  
  
  
  • Fast and safe
  
  
  
  


• RAID 5 – Distributed Parity
  
  
  
  • Fast and safe
  
  
  
  


• RAID 1+0 (10) – Stripes + Mirrors
  
  
  
  • Fastest and safest

There is no other product on the market that manages the relationship between spinning disks and solid state drives (SSD) like HyperSpace. HyperSpace marries the two seamlessly and ensures the ultimate performance from both simultaneously.Unlike other products on the market, HyperSpace has been specifically designed for media and entertainment workflows. Built-in intelligence constantly monitors, learns and adapts to users behaviour. Clever algorithms optimise system performance close to that of a pure SSD solution. Adding a HyperSpace to your workflow immediately and dramatically improves performance.This next generation disk acceleration cleverly optimises the use of the SSD layer by maximising efficiency at all times. This efficiency ensures you never compromise on performance, unlike cache-based systems.These elements come together to offer you up to 800% more performance from spinning disks and at a fraction of the cost of a pure SSD system. Coupled with robust RAID6 protection for all data, at all times makes this an extremely secure solution that offers you complete peace of mind.

Another huge benefit of this solution is that both the SSD and HDD layers are independently expandable. This dynamic expansion also allows you to increase capacity or performance with data intact. The system effortlessly manages itself when more storage is added and you simply keep working.

Ateliere Connect is a fully cloud-native platform for content servicing that centralizes geographically-distributed workflows, allowing content owners full control and visibility. It’s designed to operate natively in the cloud to scale up and down automatically depending on volumes and urgency. With Connect, content owners can efficiently manage and store assets, create versions, and deliver content to countless broadcast endpoints from one unified platform. Our proprietary parallel-scaling technology, made possible by the cloud, enables efficient and high-quality production workflows.

Connect is fully provisioned to manage workflows for over 100 platforms, which means every step can be handled within our platform, from ingest to delivery. End-to-end supply chain workflows can be completely automated with AI-driven microservices within Connect.

FrameDNA™ is an AI image recognition tool within Connect that scans multiple versions of content, identifies the frames that are similar and different, and automatically deduplicates the versions, allowing users to consolidate multiple versions into lightweight, nimble IMF packages. By running their content libraries through FrameDNA, companies have been able to reduce their overall storage footprints by an average of 70%. In addition, their titles are now ready to be rendered out in any localized or conformed version quickly and efficiently for global distribution to any platform endpoint.

FrameDNA works in tandem with Deep Analysis, a media probing tool within Connect that rapidly analyzes video files, identifies various elements, including scene changes, color bars, blacks, texted scenes, slates, and essences, and displays them on a graphical timeline view without the user having to watch the file back. For a 54-minute 2K HD ProRes show, this process happens in about 10 mins--that's a time savings of 80%. Deep Analysis can also detect when subtitles overlap with on-screen text. The push to bring legacy libraries into global streaming services requires language/caption support in 26+ versions. All major streaming services immediately reject a show if there’s an issue with caption/texted scene overlap. The quality assurance task once only performed by humans is now fully automated with Deep Analysis. It can detect instances of timed text/texted scene overlap with around 40% more accuracy and 80% faster than manual QC methods.

Connect affords studios and post houses maximum flexibility under their control. Companies can choose the model that works for them--SaaS or PaaS-- and use our modular framework to select only the components of the platform that they need. They don't have to build an entirely new supply chain from scratch to take advantage of the benefits. Connect seamlessly integrates with existing partners and systems via a fully accessible API.

Tape archiving has been dogged by slow transfer speeds and the inability to share drives over networks.

VAULT changes all that. Developed for central archives, the VAULT multi-drive LTO-7 / LTO-8 system can write and read data from any or all drives simultaneously at an astonishing 1440MB/s (LTO-8). Network-attached, users can read and write from any authorised workstation, for a workflow that is far more efficient than drives tethered to a single dedicated computer.

All GB Labs LTO systems include our LTO Manager fully featured archiving software for backup and archiving tasks. The interface for the software is a web GUI that allows users and administrators to write TAR files to tape sets or even format the tapes as LTFS. All operations can be completed using the software and data can be pulled seamlessly from any GB Labs system.

Uniquely the system also allows users to mount LTFS tapes on their desktops through the network. You can then interact with the tapes much like any other removable media (USB, FireWire drives etc.)

The software logs all activity and catalogues the contents of each tape and any additional meta data. This means that the entire catalogue can be searched intelligently, and retrieval of data is fast and straightforward, using flashback video previews to create archive material.
