EditShare Ships Ark Tape and Ark Disk for Media Backups & Archives

Thursday, September 10, 2009

EditShare is now shipping two new EditShare Ark models for creating media backups and archives: Ark Tape and Ark Disk. Ark Tape and Ark Disk are workflow-engineered to automate file migration to and from EditShare's award-winning shared storage solutions. Because Ark automatically communicates with EditShare shared storage systems, media spaces, project spaces, and other important data structures are seamlessly exchanged between systems.

Ark allows EditShare users to create safety backups during the editing process, move media to lower-cost storage when a project must be put on hold or while it awaits approval, and create long-term archives of entire projects or selected media spaces. In addition, EditShare Ark Disk systems may be activated in an emergency as a "lower-bandwidth" EditShare server to minimize downtime.

EditShare Ark Feature Highlights
• Seamless integration with EditShare shared storage solutions, retains user permissions and data structures for media spaces and project spaces
• Simple-to-use interface enables "non-IT" staff to automate and schedule full and incremental backup and archive procedures
• Ark Disk-based model available for fast "nearline" storage and retrieval - can be used as a temporary failover for storage server
• Ark Tape-based model available for cost-effective backup or long-term archival - lower power requirements for long-term storage needs
