Object Matrix will facilitate Mediapro storage on both sides of the Atlantic

MatrixStore is a digital content management and object storage platform that provides its clients with intelligent workflows that allow content to be stored, audited and tracked securely.

Mediapro has implemented MatrixStore, the object storage and digital content management platform of Object Matrix to improve efficiency and global collaboration.

Tasked with delivering a dozen channels as well as live coverage of football from LaLiga, Mediapro resorted to Unitecnic to unite its offices in both the United States and Europe. The integrator implemented MatrixStore, which keeps content secure while ensuring well-defined access controls, audit trails, and business continuity. In this way, professionals located in different locations can have instant access to the same content on both sides of the Atlantic.

Xavi Verd, CTO of Unitecnic, an integration subsidiary of the Mediapro group, highlighted that "we are extremely confident in our new object storage system provided by Object Matrix. We identified that we needed to consolidate our various legacy storage pools into a more robust and scalable unified platform. Managing multiple storage silos not only requires time and resources, but also makes finding and accessing content very difficult. MatrixStore has allowed us to overcome our previous infrastructure challenges and also allows us to audit access and operations on data that were not possible before. This is our first phase of implementing a digital content management platform with Object Matrix, and we look forward to continuing to work with them.”

Unitecnic, a European distributor of Object Matrix with certified engineers, worked closely with the French Ivory, representative of Object Matrix in Spain. Ivory has extensive knowledge of both the product and media workflows, which is why it played a key role in the training of the professionals who will use this solution as well as in the commissioning by Unitecnic.

Smart storage

MatrixStore is a digital content management and object storage platform that provides its clients with intelligent workflows that allow content to be stored, audited and tracked securely. It fits seamlessly into Mediapro's multiple workflows, offering a high level of efficiency and easy expansion as needs grow.

Nick Pearce-Tomenius, director of sales and marketing at Object Matrix, maintains that "as the media industry evolves, content providers are faced with the challenge of increasingly complex and global workflows. Our solutions aim to reduce some of that complexity and enable simple and efficient global collaboration."

En esta fase inicial, MatrixStore se ha integrado en todo el almacenamiento de producción y también se convertirá en el área de parking para el departamento de emisión para mejorar la seguridad general de los medios, así como la colaboración mejorada entre los diferentes departamentos. En la siguiente fase, las instalaciones de Mediapro en EE.UU. y Europa se conectarán, aprovechando la función de replicación nativa dentro de MatrixStore para proyectos de continuidad de negocio eficientes.
