SGL CABSAT 2016 Preview 19 January 2016

Booth no: ZK2-22

SGL's content management system FlashNet delivers highly evolved and efficient archives to leading broadcasters throughout the Middle East including: AD Media, MBC, Qatar TV, Al Baghdadia, Al Aan, Al Kass and many others. SGL's Open System Architecture provides broadcasters, post production facilities, and news/sport organisations with reliable, scalable solutions with substantial cost and workflow benefits.

SGL will highlight and discuss the following solutions on stand ZK2-22

Latest version of FlashNet

SGL is highlighting the latest version of its FlashNet content management solution, which includes a number of new features that provide broadcasters and content owners with greater flexibility when managing their archives. Customers will now be able to allocate a pre-defined number of drives within their library for a specific role such as archiving Avid jobs only, or restoring/archiving material at a certain time of day. This allows larger broadcasters with multiple drives to further improve operational procedures. This latest version of FlashNet is a pre cursor to SGL's big FlashNet launch in the spring 2016.

FlashNet archive control

The updated FlashNet archive control expands to provide support for Avid Web Services and Sony Optical Disc Archive (ODA). Whilst the fully implemented Avid Interplay Archive provides a seamless user experience, smaller work groups may require a paired down version. SGL's support for Avid Web Services means that customers can use the archive capabilities that they currently require but can deploy Avid Integrated Archive at any time in the future without the need to re-archive any content. SGL's integration with Sony ODA opens up a world of workflow possibilities, from disaster recovery solutions to management of archive material over disparate geographic areas. With SGL's experience of managing multiple storage devices within production, news and sport, Sony's Optical Disc Archive can sit anywhere within a workflow, not simply as an end of process' archive.

Disaster recovery workflows

FlashNet's uniquely scalable architecture means that, whatever the scope of Disaster Recovery (DR) requirements, valuable assets are protected, automatically. Rules-based implementations provide fully-automated data duplication across multiple storage layers and locations. FlashNet enables multi-site operations to mirror and synchronise data, across the globe. If one site becomes inoperative, it can be rebuilt entirely from data that has been replicated to other sites. FlashNet is also fully integrated with Aspera allowing broadcasters and content owners to transfer media to the cloud at a guaranteed speed, providing alternative storage and disaster recovery workflows.

Support for LTO-7

SGL is announcing its support for LTO-7 at CABSAT 2016. LTO-7 specifications support tape cartridge native storage capacity of over 6TB, more than twice the compressed capacity of the previous generation, and tape drive data transfer rates of up to 750Mits/second for over 2.7 terabytes of storage performance an hour per drive. As with previous generations, LTO-7 drives will provide backward compatibility with the ability to read and write LTO generation 6 cartridges and read LTO generation 5 cartridges, helping to preserve media investments and ease implementation.
