Tandberg LTO-5 Automation Certified With Archiware PresSTORE

Tandberg Data has certified its LTO-5 tape automation products with Archiware PresSTORE 4.0. The combination of hardware and software from Tandberg Data and Archiware provides customers with a professional, scalable, reliable and easy to use data protection solution.  The Tandberg Data and Archiware solution is optimised for use within the professional video, imaging and broadcasting markets.

 
Designed for small to medium business environments the Tandberg Data LTO-5 tape automation family allows customers to shorten backup windows, simplify storage management and reduce the costs of backup and archiving. The Tandberg Data LTO-5 data protection solution enables customers in the entertainment and broadcasting arena to reduce the cost of video content management.

Used in conjunction with Tandberg Data’s LTO-5 tape automation solution, PresSTORE Backup2Go provides automatic backup for workstations and laptops. PresSTORE Backup is responsible for automatic backup from servers to tape, while PresSTORE Archive completes the package with automatic archiving feature. The solution allows users to preview and search archived data in the browser (thumbnail, proxy) and trigger external preview generators (like Apple’s Compressor and Telestream’s Episode) for video productions with large data sets.
 
The PresSTORE 4.4 Synchronize feature is able to clone data from multiple servers to a single destination, improving data availability and business continuity. PresSTORE Synchronize supports Apple’s Mac OS X file system, Xsan, optimising workflow processes which is particularly beneficial in the field of professional video editing.
