New Range of MatrixStore Nodes for Avid, Adobe and Final Cut workflows

Object Matrix Limited showcased MatrixStore, its nearline and archive solution for Avid, Adobe and Final Cut workflows at IBC in Amsterdam for the first time.

Object Matrix will launched its new range of MatrixStore nodes at the show, including the the 2 terabyte Mini node, used for on set data wrangling, and the 48 terabyte node that uses the latest 3 terabyte drives.

MatrixStore is a clustered storage appliance that acts as a pre-production or nearline archive enabling content producers or owners to keep their data online and available for use 24/7 whilst avoiding filling up more expensive editing storage platforms.

"One of the real benefits of MatrixStore is that new nodes, using the latest and greatest technology, can be added to an existing MatrixStore cluster. Our customers will benefit from the new node configurations as they offer a reduced footprint for the capacity and also better performance," stated Nick Pearce, Co-founder, Object Matrix.

Object Matrix also for the first time was demonstrating InterConnect, its archive plugin for Avid Interplay at the show. InterConnect allows content to move to and from Avid storage whilst keeping the Interplay Asset Management engine up to date. All this is achieved without the need for the Avid Archive Server thus providing a cost effective archive platform for Avid Interplay environments.

MatrixStore features include:

• Guaranteed ingest with metadata protection and search.
• Secure Ingest Vaults (Locked down preventing accidental deletion).
• Production/Project parking to a Nearline Vault in Avid, Adobe and Final Cut Workflows (one click operation).
• Archiving Legacy assets to a local, online library vault using DropSpot, InterPlay, Cantemo Portal, Vidispine, Phoenix7 and CatDV.
• MatrixStore scales from 12TB to 2PB+ with an elegant plug and scale architecture.

Having recently expanded its reseller channel Object Matrix is reaching out to Avid users across Europe who are looking for feature rich storage solutions that complement their existing infrastructure.
