Sky Partners with Object Matrix
Cardiff, January 11th 2016. Object Matrix, the trusted storage partner to the media and entertainment industries, today announces that Sky, Europe's leading entertainment company with over 21 million customers, has integrated MatrixStore object storage into Avid Interplay production workflows at its headquarters in London.
Sky is Europe's leading investor in television content, with a combined programming budget of £4.9bn, commissioning its own original programming and entering into strategic partnerships to deliver the best possible TV viewing experience for customers. With production infrastructure often used to capacity, the Sky production team looked to find a solution that could not only scale into future workflows but also take the strain off the editing storage with seamless integration into current workflows.
Capacity on the editing storage platforms is as a premium. Using that expensive tier of storage for medium or long term storage is not economical nor is it an efficient use of our resources. stated Kevin McCue (Senior Manager of Technical Operations). With an explosion in production activity we needed a storage partner we could rely on to help us scale in both capacity and performance whilst ensuring we can integrate more workflows in the future. Object Matrix scored highly on all counts , he added.
MatrixStore brings instant benefit to any organisation that requires scalable, secure and integrated storage in Avid Interplay workflows. Content can be protected using automated or manual processes in a non-disruptive environment to the end user.
As more organisations look to protect more and more digital content the challenges to not only protect that content but also find, share and distribute it become greater. stated Nick Pearce, co-founder Object Matrix. We are proud to have been trusted by another of the worlds most renowned broadcasters to help them overcome those challenges by providing Sky with a completely integrated and non-disruptive solution. he added.
The MatrixStore platform chosen by Sky consists of 280 terabytes nets of 10gigE connected nearline storage coupled with the popular InterConnect plugin for Avid Interplay.
The solution provided to Sky is supported by Object Matrix partner Digital Garage.
