Front Porch Digitals LYNXSM Cloud-Based Storage Service to Power Disaster Recovery Solution 15 Apr 2013

Front Porch Digital, the global leader in cloud-based content storage management (CSM) solutions, today announced that Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), the world-leading provider of technology and services to telecom operators, will use Front Porch Digitals LYNXSM cloud-based disaster recovery (DR) and long-term asset storage service as the foundation of its cost-effective disaster playout recovery solution. The solution will make it possible for any broadcaster to afford a redundant broadcasting system.

The LYNX service provides all the features of a physical CSM system without the infrastructure investment, said Rino Petricola, senior vice president and general manager at Front Porch Digital. Broadcasters can duplicate their existing content within LYNX and retrieve it from Ericssons playout systems. That way, should disaster strike, they have a turnkey disaster recovery solution for the immediate retrieval and playout of their assets.

The solution will combine the LYNX cloud-based storage service with Ericssons disaster recovery playout platform. Because of LYNX, multiple customers will be able to share the standardized recovery platform, thereby reducing the cost significantly for each customer.

LYNX can ingest content from tape or as file-based media, and customers can either manage ingest and restore processes manually from supplied software, or automate the processes in order to turn ingest and restore into invisible and seamless background tasks. LYNX provides inexpensive offsite replication of the content library with a dashboard view of the stored assets.

Front Porch Digital will demonstrate LYNX at the 2013 NAB Show in booths SU3602 and SU3605. More information about Front Porch Digital products is available at fpdigital.com.
