The Workflows
Field Archiving Avid, Final Cut Archiving SAN Storage Management Continuous Backup


Field Archiving
The modern file-based pipeline generates a tremendous amount of file-based camera media. In the absence of video tape masters, there is a need to efficiently create file-based masters with the ability to search and retrieve your raw footage.   View the Workflow Diagram

Works with existing offload applications Integrates Nearline disk & LTO-5 tape Web-based interface (Archive, browse, search, preview, restore)
Designed to work with existing preview, workflows and apps like Shotput, Red Data Manager, etc. Integrates Nearline disk for faster offloads and browse workflows (e.g. AMA). Enables you to archive, restore and browse your data like a file-system on the web. Also enables previews and metadata search.
Hardware Flexibility & Performance Create multiple tapes in parallel Uses LTFS/LTO-5 ensuring open access
Enables you to build your own hardware with direct attached LTO-5 drives/disk for highest offload performance. (* Uses an out-of-band server for management only) Allows you to easily and in parallel create multiple tape copies for added protection. Files are written in their native form and can be directly mounted and accessed by anyone who has an LTO-5 tape drive.
