Maximum security for production data

DDP is a manufacturer of state of the art SAN over IP storage solutions. In their products, SATA and SSD hard drives can be combined to achieve maximum performance and scalability.

Aimed at media companies as production storage, DDP products are compatible with Mac, PC and Linux, even allowing different clients access to the same parts of the storage.

In a production environment, it is imperative that media files are backed up regularly to secure valuable files. Every DDP now comes with Archiware P5 pre-installed and the license for P5 Backup to an LTO tape drive is included.

P5 Backup regularly backs up the DDP production storage to disk or tape. Backup plans can be set up in minutes for incremental, full or progressive backups. The resulting backups can be browsed using a web browser and restored easily. User interfaces are so clear and intuitive that even non-IT specialists find them easy to work with.

DDP drives appear on the clients as additional drives and are accessible as a virtual volume throughout the entire production. File transfer to different workstations for editing or color correction is rendered obsolete. The DDP workflow manager lets you configure access rights down to subfolder level to enable collaborative work and prevent errors.

To protect your data even more effectively and to make it immediately available in case of technical failure, P5 Synchronize can be used to clone data from the production DDP to a mirror DDP.

An exact copy of all or selected data can be kept on the mirror DDP and production can be switched to this storage simply and quickly if needed. P5 Synchronize as well as P5 Archive licenses can be added and expanded to an existing system at any point in time.
