This follow–up to last summer's Archive Early, Archive Often: Creative Strategies for Digital Workflows webinar features case studies of two television media organizations that restructured their workflows with an open archive strategy.
For the CTO of a cable network, the move to HD programming meant a redesign of the network's asset management workflow. Between performance bottlenecks and proprietary formats, he knew the network couldn't handle the capacity demands of HD. In Apple Final Cut Server and Atempo, the network found an open platform that could grow along with its content.
When the Operations Director for TV marketing at a major film studio learned that his near–capacity storage was wasted on 70 percent inactive assets, he knew it was time for a purge. Realizing he'd need to poll 13 people to determine what to archive, he began looking for an automatic archiving solution. The solution: a single, policy–based open archive from Atempo for both his Tier 1 SAN and Tier 2 NAS storage.
