EMPRESS MEDIA ASSET MANAGEMENT JOINS ACTIVE ARCHIVE ALLIANCE

(MENAFNEditorial) a collaborative industry association formed to educate end user organizations on the evolving new technologies that enable reliable online and efficient access to their archived data.

According to COO David Miller “Empress is very excited to join with the other members of this organization to promote active archive.   Our goal has always been to provide quick and easy access to vast amounts of video and other content in different systems and different locations.”

An active archive is a method of tiered storage which gives the user access to data across a virtualized file system that migrates data between multiple storage systems and media types including solid-state drives hard disk drives cloud tape technology and optical disk. Active archives are ideal for companies that regularly manage high-volume digital assets or face exponential data growth as it provides a cost effective way to store large amounts of data with high reliability and accessibility.

Organizations are archiving increasing amounts of data as they grapple with data growth retention compliance rules and the need to leverage the knowledge and information within their organization. As organizations archive more data the challenge of accessing that data when needed has intensified.  Active archive solutions resolve this issue by turning offline archives into visible accessible extensions of online storage systems – enabling fast easy access to all data.
