… As Well as SGL

Software Generation Ltd (SGL), a provider of content archive and storage management software for media and entertainment, announced integration to Sony’s Optical Disc Archive technology via its FlashNet archive manager.

The integration gives SGL users access to a greater choice of storage devices in DR, production, news and sports workflows. Sony’s Optical Disc Archive stores data in a compact cartridge with twelve optical discs for file-based archiving.

FlashNet allows Sony’s users to store valuable media safely. This combination opens up a world of workflow possibilities from DR solutions to management of archive material over disparate geographic areas. With SGL’s experience of managing multiple storage devices within production, news and sport, Optical Disc Archive can sit anywhere within a workflow, not simply as an ‘end of process’ archive.

Raj Patel, product manager, SGL, says: “We’re very pleased to make this announcement further highlighting our commitment for providing additional storage methods for FlashNet customers. Our products and services are designed and produced in conjunction with all of the leading broadcast vendors in all arenas, providing seamless operation in any broadcast environment. This ensures that the archive appears as a transparent storage area available to every user in all departments from within their day-to-day applications.“
