The proper collection, processing, and distribution of production assets is a cross-departmental challenge. Every clip recorded on set must be safely offloaded, organized, and delivered to post teams – along with critical metadata. As trusted industry standards, Pomfort’s Silverstack XT and Silverstack Lab provide on-set crews and post facilities with a unified, traceable workflow for managing media and metadata, while also enabling seamless dailies creation. Now, that workflow goes one step further. Thanks to a new integration with Archiware P5 Archive, Silverstack users can easily extend their data management pipeline to include a cyber-secure Archive.
As an ingest Archive at the beginning of the workflow or as a long-term archive within the workflow, P5 Archive offers maximum security through the use of LTO tapes. The air gap between the LTO medium and the network protects against any threats and attacks while keeping files safe and secure for years or even decades. Additionally, LTO offers the lowest cost per TB of any professional storage medium. LTO is a trusted medium in data centers of banks, insurance companies, large corporations and even cloud vendors.
P5 Archive makes archiving and retrieving extremely easy with its browser interface, setup assistants and clean design. Scalability from a single LTO drive to large LTO libraries with multiple drives, parallelization and cloning comes as a standard with P5. Maximum flexibility for the archive is achieved with the P5 Archive DLM add-on that can replicate or migrate any archived data rule-based between any disk, LTO or cloud storage at any time.
P5 Archive comes in when long-term storage is required or high-performance storage does not have enough capacity to hold all the material. Archived media and files are visible in the P5 Archive catalogue, including previews and proxies for visual browsing.
User-definable metadata fields and extensive search features make it easy to find clips and restore them quickly and easily. P5 Archive can be combined with P5 Backup and P5 Synchronize to automatically protect ongoing production in one solution.
