The combined solution enables M&E creators and distributors to simplify media workflows with the CatDV system while leveraging Swarm, a hassle-free object storage solution with limitless scale that provides immediate access to media.

With CatDV, teams that create or manage a large volume of digital media can organize, communicate and collaborate effectively. CatDV’s simple, yet powerful, tools support some of the world’s most sophisticated media workflows and provide them with flexibility to define how they manage their creation process.

“Caringo’s certification with CatDV is part of our continued effort to work with best-of-breed solutions to simplify workflows and underlying infrastructure.” said Tony Barbagallo, Caringo VP of product. “Users of the combined solution now have a way to keep rapidly scaling media libraries secure and accessible in a way that can continue to evolve with content producer and viewer consumption patterns.“

Caringo solves the issues associated with storing and protecting growing digital assets while keeping them online and accessible. Swarm brings organizations many of the benefits of the cloud right in their own data center, including limitless scale; instant access over HTTP, S3 and NFS for traditional in-network access; and direct-to-consumer streaming. All with built-in data protection and an architecture that protects from hacks and ransomware.

“With the latest version of CatDV we focused on accelerating collaborative media asset management and empowering enterprises to repurpose and monetize millions of assets with ease and efficiency,” said David Clack, CEO, Square Box Systems. “A critical component is certifying interoperability with proven storage solutions like Caringo Swarm, giving our customers the ability to leverage the functionality and reliability Caringo has refined over 9 versions.“
