Object Matrix Showcases the 'MatrixStore' Archive Appliance for File Based and Nearline Workflows

LONDON, BVE 2010 Stand C10. Object Matrix will be showcasing The MatrixStore, a highly secure media repository, in tapeless/file based workflows in its first appearance at BVE. The team will demonstrate how The MatrixStore can protect content from ingest to archive:

- Guaranteed ingest with metadata harvesting (Panasonic P2)
- Secure Ingest Vaults (Lock down from accidental deletion)
- Production/Project parking to a Nearline Vault in AVID and Final Cut Workflows (one click operation)
- Archiving Legacy assets to an online Library Vault using DropSpot, Final Cut Server and CatDV

Implementing a tapeless or file based workflow has been highlighted as one of the top challenges facing creative organisations in 2010. With no tape to put on the shelf broadcasters, post-production facilities and creative agencies are looking for a solution to keep their assets secure and more importantly available throughout the production process. A single MatrixStore cluster acts as pre-production, nearline or local archive allowing content to move seamlessly through any digital workflow from ingest to delivery.

The MatrixStore solution consists of a cluster of off-the-shelf server hardware combined with innovative and powerful software to ensure the integrity of data stored and self healing in the case of component failure. Extra storage can be added simply by adding a few components.

The MatrixStore provides users with a keyword search tool to quickly and efficiently search through stored material and metadata. The cost effective and easily scalable nature of The MatrixStore makes it the perfect solution for today’s digital workflows.

The MatrixStore scales from 12TB to 1PB+ with pricing from £450 per TB including all software and hardware.
