Editshare, specializing in end-to-end media and shared storage solutions in tapeless environments, announced this Thursday the availability of a new version of its EditShare Ark backup and archive system.

News, sports, film and TV series, advertising or corporate production... need to protect their assets, but accessibility is just as important. Because Ark integrates directly into end-to-end workflows with other solutions in a tapeless environment, archived content can be easily searched with advanced media management tools, retrieved and returned directly to production storage. The new interface “It also provides real-time updates on file performance and continuous monitoring of system status. EditShare Ark ensures both security and media accessibility.”

EditShare Ark V2.1.3.2 incorporates Quantum Superloader 3, Scalar i40 and i80, Spectra Logic Spectra T50e and PowerVault 124T Tape Autoloader solutions to support tape-based libraries.
