Cache-A Archive Appliances Embraced by Houses of Worship & Religious Groups
To safeguard A/V content from CBN to Wycliffe Bible translators
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 17, 2012 at 2:54 pm
From multi-site ministries to small – and medium-sized churches,
houses of worship and religious groups across the U.S. are increasing the use
of video, radio and television messages to reach their followers and spread the
word.
These organizations are adding information to their databases, such as
images and video and audio files, at increasing rates. The
result is much more data, more different file types and much larger
files that need to be archived.
Faced with this challenge, many of these organizations are embracing
Cache-A Corporation‘s archive appliances to preserve, distribute, repurpose and protect the
audio and video-related data they generate each day. Cache-A’s complete product
line – including the Pro-Cache5, Prime-Cache5 and the new
Power-Cache – is designed to meet the needs of digital media professionals for
safe content archiving, access and interchange.
"We are delighted that so many houses of worship and religious
groups are choosing our line of archive appliances to preserve their video
content," said Phil Ritti, President and CEO of Cache-A Corporation. "We
have specifically designed our complete product line to be cost-effective,
while offering our customers the benefits of safe, long-term archival storage
and fast, easy access to their content whenever they need it.
Here is a list of some of the houses of worship
and religious
organizations

Cache-A’s archive appliances offer an
integrated networked archiving solution to help increase productivity. Tape
interchange, for example, is easy because every tape has its own table of contents,
and the built-in searchable database of every tape makes it easy to keep track
of – and access – every asset.
A way to manage multiple
terabytes of archived data, Cache-A’s Pro-Cache5 offers many of the
features demanded for content archiving, interchange and access. Pro-Cache5
takes advantage of the LTO-5 data tape technology to offer
1.5TB of storage per cartridge, while also providing faster archiving speeds. It writes data on low-cost, secure,
portable, interchangeable and LTO-5 tape cartridges with a
30-year archival life.
Just introduced at IBC 2011, the new Power-Cache
Archive Server combines Cache-A’s noted appliance functionality with more disk
speed and better throughput. Power-Cache combines a high-performance blend of
LTO-5 tape drives, 8TB of RAID and 10GbE technologies to provide
digital media professionals with faster archive and retrieval transfers as well
as greater flexibility for staging content, making duplicate tape copies and
working with Cache-A Library and Expansion units.
The Prime-Cache5 is a new version of the LTO-4 based Prime-Cache and has been upgraded with an LTO-5
tape drive and a 2TB hard disk drive in an improved chassis. It now features 10
times faster direct-attached transfers with USB 3.0. Optimized for desktop
applications, Prime-Cache5 is compact and quiet.
Cache-A’s new software adds the LTFS (Linear Tape File
System) capability as an option to the industry standard tar format for its
family of LTO-5 based archive appliances. Based on open source software, it
enables users to interchange content across different operating systems,
software applications and physical locations.
