The company’s solutions offer support for cloud vendors including Amazon, Wasabi, Cloudian, and MS Azure and for all MAM, PAM, NRCS, automation, video server, and library solutions. The company also will focus on the flexibility of FlashNet and MassStore in delivering DR solutions optimized for any price point and DR strategy – from simple content replication to full archive duplication. For those media companies concerned about maintaining the ongoing security of their archived content, Masstech will demonstrate the ease with which Oracle DIVA archives can be migrated to a company’s solution, without disruption of services or constraints on content access.

FlashNet – Media Object Storage
The firm will showcase its FlashNet media object storage application, a scalable and secure cross-platform content management system that integrates with MAM, PAM, NRCS, automation, video server, and library systems to improve media organizations’ workflow efficiency. Rules-based media management allows for automated optimization; it ensures that content is always stored in the most cost-effective and operationally efficient location.

FlashNet can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid configuration, and it supports disk- and tape-based storage independently or in combination. A hardware-agnostic solution built on an open system architecture, it adapts to growing and changing organizational and business requirements. Scalable and customizable to individual customers, FlashNet is available in solutions ranging from a single server to an enterprise-scale system. It features automated failover and built-in redundancy, and its support for LTFS allows tapes to be mounted on a Windows file system for emergency file access.

MassStore Media Services Framework
During this year’s NAB Show, the company will highlight its MassStore media services framework for advanced applications. Featuring a collection of services that together provide media management functions, this solution provides a standardized service orchestration layer to facilitate interaction between MAM, PAM, DAM, and NRCS solutions and stored media objects. Built-in integration management simplifies accommodation of disparate systems from multiple vendors.

Boasting agility and intelligence, the MassStore media services framework allows for rapid deployment of customizable workflows. Integrated transcoding capabilities and support for all major wrappers and codecs allow for flexible generation and management of proxies, metadata, and thumbnails. The solution can be scaled to meet media organizations’ varying functional and budgetary requirements.

“This will be the first NAB Show since Masstech and SGL became a single entity, and we look forward to highlighting the many benefits this merger brings to current and prospective customers. Our flagship solutions, MassStore and FlashNet, boast successful track records with media companies around the globe, and we’ll highlight their unique ability to automate and streamline content storage and management both in the cloud and on-premise. We’re proud to offer competitively priced solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems, scale to fit all organization types and budgets, and come with class-leading, broadcast standard 24×7 support,” said Mike Palmer, CTO, Masstech
