Maximizing Workflow Efficiency and Reducing Storage Costs
In today's media facilities, critical file-based workflows -- including video production, animation, rendering and creative graphics -- depend on sharing content across a variety of storage systems and media. As these workflows evolve and the quantity of large files stored on disparate storage systems grows, these facilities can rely on Artico to provide transparent, scalable and efficient archiving of all media content and assets. As a result, users can confidently offload large files from expensive NAS systems and reduce overall storage costs, including those related to space, power and cooling.
Delivering Proven StorNext Media Management
StorNext Storage Manager has been deployed broadly by media facilities around the world with great success. Artico incorporates this proven technology to streamline operations, improve use of existing capacity and simplify expansion of media storage to accommodate changing business and operational demands. Additional Artico-StorNext Storage Manager benefits include:
* NAS connectivity for easy deployment and integration into broadcast and postproduction environments.
* An optimal balance of media access and storage TCO through intelligent, policy-driven file movement across LTO tape, LTFS, object storage and cloud archive systems.
* Long-term protection of content, including through the ability to create multiple archive copies and with support for multiple archive systems.
* Automatic integration with StorNext-qualified MAM systems, enabling users to store, share and preserve media files seamlessly.
