MTA International to Protect 40 Years Worth of Archive footage with a Petabyte of Object Matrix Storage
Cardiff 30th September 2014 - Object Matrix, provider of object based nearline storage has again been selected to provide an object-based digital preservation platform to global broadcaster MTA International. Due to Object Matrix storage suiting the tight workflow integrations and future-proof scalability requirements of MTA, the broadcaster has selected MatrixStore to preserve their 40 year legacy of tape archive, an archive they aim to share with their global community.
With headquarters based in London, MTA International broadcasts family viewing in up to eight different languages simultaneously, with studios and audiences spanning the globe. MTA focuses on providing a positive and educational influence for its viewers, covering a variety of topics and genres ranging from society and politics, to cooking and wildlife.
To satisfy the requirements set out by MTA International MatrixStore was chosen as it provides:
One useable petabyte of 10GigE connected storage that could be added to their existing disk based archive.
A self-managing object based solution supporting future hardware platforms and workflows.
A scalable system that will grow according to the broadcaster's needs.
Seamless API integration with Portal (by Cantemo) which is MTA's chosen Asset Management solution.
Future-proof growth plan. MTA will take delivery of an initial 500TB then add the remaining storage in a just in time manner thus allowing MTA to take advantage of any advances in hardware technology.
Nick Pearce, co-founder of Object Matrix stated, Object Matrix have been at the forefront of object storage technology for 11 years. During that time customers, like MTA, have experienced the benefits of secure digital preservation platforms that can grow regardless of storage technology and that require little or no management. We are extremely pleased that MTA have chosen to trust us and continue our close partnership as they continue to grow their reach to the wider global community.
MatrixStore is a trusted, object based, nearline storage platform that scales to multiple petabytes. As well as providing file system access it also provides additional business benefits via features including built in search, options for local and remote replication, multiple-tenancy, WORM options and built in audit.
Both the MatrixStore nearline storage platform and the Cantemo Portal solutions are supported by systems integrator NMR Consultancy.
