Disaster Recovery
Whilst organizations so frequently have mature Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies in place for general IT systems such as e-mail servers, the same cannot be said for their revenue generating workflows. Object Matrix provides solutions and consultancy for Disaster Recovery strategies within:
- Media repositories for video on demand and content distribution platforms
- Post-Production workflows (protecting work in progress)
- MAMs & PAMs (Production Asset Management) including proven and trusted Avid Interplay and Cantemo based Adobe workflows
MatrixStore Replication
Reliable data replication is a key building block for disaster recovery. It enables organisations to keep their objects (media assets) situated in geographically dispersed locations.
Because MatrixStore has replication built-in it is easy to use and extremely powerful. Furthermore, Object Matrix makes no extra charge for the functionality.
Attributes to look for in a Replication solution
- Simple to set-up and use = less human or technical errors
- Not tied to the underlying hardware = flexibility and serviceable in the future
- Neither O/S specific nor data type specific
- Works over standard transport protocols or VPNs
- Facilitate fast disaster recovery in the case that one site is lost, that work can immediately continue at the replicated site
- Scalable performance
- Easy to select data that needs replicating and data that doesn’t
- Ability to replicate deletes or not to
- Facilitate high availability, e.g., by allowing Reads from either the source or target of the replication
- Secure data transmission options
MatrixStore Replication supports and/or facilitates each of the above attributes and is currently used by the world’s largest broadcasters, telcos and media organisations for these purposes.
