Cambridge Imaging Systems and Object Matrix offer a winning combination for production and preservation projects 12 Feb 2014

Cambridge Imaging Systems announced today that it has partnered with Object Matrix to offer a robust, scalable and affordable asset management and storage system for content creators and owners. By combining Cambridge Imaging Systems' Imagen MAM system and Object Matrix' highly secure MatrixStore plug-and-play storage solution, broadcasters and production companies can archive their digital assets and make them available quickly and easily for repurposing or revenue generation. The combined solution will be offered at a 20% discount on orders placed during BVE 2014, at Cambridge Imaging Systems' stand M13B or Object Matrix' stand K62.

Based on object storage technology, MatrixStore provides a secure, scalable repository for Imagen archives while providing high speed access to content online via Imagen's customisable web interface. MatrixStore provides a digital preservation platform that can rapidly scale to accommodate Imagen's wide range of workflows and storage configurations, offering a full range between deep archive and fast access for production teams.

Tom Blake, Managing Director, Cambridge Imaging Systems, said, The combination of these secure, powerful systems enables content owners to preserve, access and monetize their content quickly and easily. We're delighted to partner with Object Matrix to offer this cost-effective solution.

Nick Pearce-Tomenius, Co-Founder, Object Matrix, said, As more organisations look to keep their assets instantly available, this is a perfect technology partnership. The team at Cambridge Imaging Systems provides a proven solution in Imagen that is capable of providing instant access to millions of assets across multiple sites. MatrixStore complements that ability by providing a trusted and management free nearline storage platform that can protect and guarantee access to petabytes of content.
