Medialogy Broadcast Introduces ArcPaaS Archiving Platform as a Service

Medialogy Broadcast announces an innovation in media archiving with the introduction of ArcPaaS (Archiving Platform as a Service). Designed for broadcast-related users such as TV channels, production studios and post-production facilities, Medialogys ArcPaaS can be configured as an on-premises subscription platform, a secure cloud networked archive or a hybrid of the two.

ArcPaaS offers media companies a very high level of flexibility in the style and scale of their data archive, comments Ananth Sam, Medialogy Broadcasts Sales Director. Customers who like to keep their master data archive storage on-premises can subscribe to as much capacity as they need for their current level of business while retaining the freedom to expand at any time in the future. The system itself is based on Disk Archives ALTO servers which we chose for their proven reliability, high transfer speed and space efficiency. Customers can alternatively send their content securely to and from ALTO servers located at a secure offsite data centre with the ability to lease more storage capacity at any time. Connectivity is available via file transfer accelerator agents or secure FTP.

We are very pleased to be partnering with Medialogy Broadcast in this new venture, adds Alan Hoggarth, Disk Archives Managing Director. Media archivists throughout the world want a secure and efficient alternative to worn-out LTO libraries but with a 20 to 30 year life rather than the three to five year life they associate with IT-based storage products. ALTO is very energy efficient, powering up only when a specific drive is actually accessed. ALTO replication-based cold storage is incrementally scalable from a few terabytes to over a petabyte in each 4 RU enclosure to track client demand as it grows.

About Disk Archive

Disk Archive (www.diskarchive.com) created ALTO - a high-density, enterprise-class, offline data archive platform - to provide a convenient and cost-effective alternative to cumbersome robotic tape libraries and expensive clustered RAID storage setups. ALTO provides easy and scalable capacity plus scalable security thanks to user-defined replication level. Based on fully spun-down disks, ALTO has ultra-low power consumption and triple digit extended disk life. ALTO combines on-line and off-line data storage using individually managed commodity disks that can be externalized for vault storage and bank-like security. Disk Archive Corporation has over 40 application partners offering proven MAM / PAM / archive & backup applications for ALTO.
