Archiving from Cantemo Portal
Cantemo Portal is a modern Media Asset Management system, handling metadata, storage, distribution and access rights. Additionally, it includes advanced features such as ingest, format detection and transcoding. Annotations, rough cut and non-linear editing functions including seamless sequence exchange with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere complete the impressive feature set. Most importantly, however, Cantemo Portal offers its users high extensibility and customizability.
Thanks to its open APIs, an ecosystem of Apps and Extensions is available to customize Cantemo Portal so it fits into any environment.
As of Cantemo Portal Version 3.0 (released October 2016), there is a native integration between Portal and Archiware P5 Archive. Archiving and restore commands can be given in the Portal interface, and a colour coded symbol informs about the archive status of each asset in the MAM.
Archiving in Cantemo Portal
Users can archive and restore single items as well as collections of items. Archiving and Restoring processes can be triggered either manually from the Cantemo Portal Web interface or automatically after a configurable number of days after cataloguing an item. The information is transferred to Archiware P5 Archive, which in turn communicates with the LTO hardware. LTO tape is used by corporations, banks and insurance companies worldwide for long-term data storage.
Archiware P5 Archive supports LTO drives and libraries from virtually any manufacturer such as SpectraLogic, Tandberg, IBM, Quantum and others, making it the ideal solution in any storage environment. The feature set of P5 Archive also includes a cloning option, creating the maximum level of security as one set of tapes can be stored off-site. The P5 parallelization feature provides scalability regarding performance and number of archive/restore jobs running simultaneously.
