Atempo Appoints Global Distribution

Atempo, Inc. has appointed value-added distributor Global Distribution to help address growing demand for archiving solutions from the UK’s broadcast, media and entertainment industries.
 
Global Distribution will sell Atempo Digital Archive (ADA), an archiving and workflow solution designed to move data-intensive project content from primary storage to near-line and deep archival storage, to their system integrators and resellers.
 
In addition to extending the Atempo brand deeper into the creative industry, this agreement will leverage existing alliances that Atempo has with other brands sold by Global Distribution, in particular tape library manufacturer Spectra Logic and ATTO Technology.
 
Keith Warburton, director of Global Distribution said: "We provide our system integrators and resellers with best-of-breed solutions to create opportunities and add-value for their end-users. Content intensive industries are motoring through disk like it is going out of fashion with little or no thought of backup or long term archive of their assets. As a result, there is strong demand for robust, feature-rich and fully-integrated digital content archiving solutions. After evaluating ADA, we were impressed with its ease of integration with other solutions, particularly with Final Cut Server."
 
Stephane Kirchacker, managing director, Northern Europe and Business Development for Atempo UK, said: "Global Distribution brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in providing storage and infrastructure solutions for data-intensive environments within the broadcast market. With growing demand for ADA, it’s essential that we partner with a credible, expert and established distributor that can play an active role expanding our presence in the broadcast industry."
