The volume of data in the industry is increasing exponentially, and today’s content is yesterday’s archive.

Digital transformation initiatives in the media and entertainment industry include the migration of legacy assets, from daily rushes, and post-production workflows, to straight through backups, archives, and preservation files.

For years, content producers and distributors have relied upon costly tape storage to maintain and manage their valuable assets. These costs include hardware maintenance and technology upgrades, human capital, power, and cooling. But there is also another cost, an intangible cost – the risk of data loss by tape corruption and deterioration, constant end-of-life tape migration projects, and the time-consuming complexities of content retrieval and metadata capture.

The impact of these intangible costs is that companies are slow to respond to consumer-led demands. Online accessibility and streaming of content are essential factors in industry players’ success. Having limited access to lucrative archives and contextual metadata results in missed opportunities and increases risk exposure.
