IBC 2024: Starchive in Partnership with Seagate Lyve Cloud

Digital ReLab LLC dba / Starchive, an AI-driven digital asset management system built for the creative community, announced a collaboration with Seagate Lyve Cloud Object Storage.

The collaboration adds Starchive’s AI-powered tools for Seagate customers to discover, preserve, transform and monetize digital media assets across the media, music, sports and entertainment industry.

Starchive’s tools will be fully integrated into Seagate’s Lyve Cloud Object Storage. The combined solution will allow Starchive to provide the same level of functionality it provides content creators at scale, meeting the demanding needs of modern media companies and brands through Lyve Cloud Object Storage, while redefining the level of functionality for Seagate’s M&E customers.

Seagate chose to collaborate with Starchive as it has empowered thousands of customers in the M&E industry to manage their content including Bob Dylan, Essence Magazine, The MET, and HGTV’s “Property Brothers.” Starchive’s discovery tools in its platform played a key role in unearthing hidden content treasures from artists like Bob Dylan.

With Starchive, Seagate customers will have even more visibility and control of vast media libraries.

“Combining Starchive’s advanced metadata approach and encoding capabilities with Seagate is Object Storage 2.0, a logical evolution that includes enhanced management, enriched search, and access control layers, making it easier than ever to understand and utilize your stored content,” said Peter Agelasto, Co- founder, Starchive. “Collaborating with Seagate allows us to innovate with a world leader to further enhance our users’ experience by providing seamless access to their content and enabling new ways to manage and monetize their archives.“

“Seagate Lyve Cloud Object Storage is committed to delivering the best solutions available, and our collaboration with Starchive allows us to provide more powerful tools for M&E as we want a tailored solution for our vertical clients,” said Melyssa Banda, VP of enterprise systems and solutions, Seagate. “Together, we are shaping the future of content management, providing powerful tools that allow our clients to unlock the potential of their assets.“
