XenData Into OEM Agreement With Facilis

Facilis Technology, Inc. announces an agreement to supply XenData, Inc.‘s customers with its FastTracker asset management software integrated with XenData LTO and cloud solutions.

FastTracker is a light asset management application that runs on Facilis and XenData servers to provide indexing, proxy gen and timecode-based transcription. It will automatically index existing and new media assets sent to a cloud or LTO archive using the file-folder structure defined by the user, unlike many other media asset management systems which require a rigidly defined folder structure for asset storage.

FastTracker includes many features that will help XenData customers track and manage their archived assets, including:

• Mac and Windows clients for access via the local network
• Web browser interface for remote access through HTTPS
• Proxy gen allows users to preview archived files before restoring
• File movement to cloud or LTO archive as on-demand or scheduled task
• Prefetch archived files to XenData disk cache from the FastTracker Iinterface

The FastTracker interface is available securely for any Internet user to login and browse content, download files and even upload to secure server locations for remote ingest.

“Many of our customers want to index archived assets using their existing file-folder structure; a folder structure which has meaning for their organization. FastTracker provides this with a searchable interface and a visual preview of their archived assets.” said Philip Storey, CEO, XenData. “When Facilis integrated FastTracker with the XenData Cloud and LTO archive software, we knew this would fit the requirement. And it turned out better than I could have hoped.“
