Oracle SL150 & Archiware P5

Media and Entertainment Digital Archiving

As camera formats continue to evolve to produce extremely crisp high-resolution video assets, studio and broadcast IT administrators need a strategy to handle the exponential growth in video data. Oracle and Archiware have worked together to build and deliver a joint solution that is designed to handle the 4 K formats of today and the 8 K formats of tomorrow, all at a fraction of the cost of the historical disk-only solution.

By leveraging the low cost of Oracle's StorageTek digital tape technology and the archiving software from Archiware, broadcast professionals can quickly lower storage costs while improving file access.

Selecting an Archive Medium

Completed productions can be moved to digital tape at a fraction of the price of production storage. Finding assets for reference or repurposing becomes easy and opens new opportunities for monetization. Two studies of disk versus digital tape costs and long-term TCO are available from leading storage industry analysts: The Clipper Group and ESG.

Flexibility and Scalability

Oracle offers the world’s highest capacity digital tape technology and the most scalable digital tape libraries in the world. Archiware and Oracle work together to ensure seamless integration of our products.
