“Tapeless workflows are already firmly established in media acquisition, production and distribution,” confirms Alan Hoggarth, managing director, Disk Archive Corporation. “ALTO provides the same benefits for archives and content libraries, offering a scalable, flexible and highly secure alternative to a data tape library for media storage, with the emphasis on low total cost of ownership and low environmental impact.” The new development now enables Marquis’ Project Parking users, to create a complete copy of any Avid project and media onto ALTO, for easy archiving and retrieval of digital source media.”

“We are excited to be collaborating with Disk Archive Corporation,” confirms Chris Steele, product manager, Marquis Broadcast. “ALTO offers strategies for data storage that provide excellent performance and economic benefits while at the same time eliminating widely held concerns about the security and running costs of high capacity drives in data storage arrays. In combination with Project Parking, the complete offering now provides a powerful solution to archive and retrieval issues.”
