Other World Computing (OWC) is partnering with ARCHIWARE, a data management software provider, to deliver seamless shared storage, cloning, backup, and archiving for collaborative workflows.
Collaboration addresses asset management needs for creatives
OWC, an organization that delivers storage, docks, and memory card solutions to empower professionals in video and audio production, photography, and business with tools to maximize workflow performance and reliability seamlessly, will integrate its Jellyfish Shared Storage for Video Production solution with ARCHIWARE’s P5 platform. The combination will enhance collaboration capabilities, ensure data protection, and future-proof asset management.
With Jellyfish Manager 3.0 and ARCHIWARE P5, users can easily install, activate, and launch ARCHIWARE P5 directly within the Jellyfish Manager interface. No additional P5 server is required.
Running natively on all Jellyfish NAS solutions, P5 can be enabled simply by toggling a switch in the Jellyfish Manager, and once activated, users can seamlessly access and manage ARCHIWARE P5 without ever leaving the Jellyfish Manager UI to ensure a streamlined and efficient workflow.
New tech solutions now available to partners, resellers, and customers
“No matter what you’re creating– TV series, commercials, corporate videos, web spots, or feature films– you’re rarely working alone,” said Josef Doods, CEO of ARCHIWARE. “Seamless collaboration depends on instant access to high-performance shared storage. Just as crucial, but often overlooked, is media and data management– finding content or repurposing with ease and ensuring work is always protected. With OWC Jellyfish and ARCHIWARE P5, you can count on both.”
Among the features of the ARCHIWARE P5 solution for data security and a collaborative workflow include the following:
- P5 Synchronize: clones data from Jellyfish to secondary online storage and creates an identical file system for high availability. File access is also instantaneous without restore, if required.
- P5 Backup: creates security copies of files and projects on disk, LTO, or Cloud storage so they can be restored in case of accidental deletion, file corruption, or technical failure. At least one of these periodic security copies can and should be kept offsite, so data is safe even in case of natural disaster.
- P5 Archive: can be utilized when long-term storage and preservation are required. Archived media and projects are included in the P5 Archive catalog, including previews for visual browsing. User-definable metadata fields and extensive search features make it easier to find relevant media and restore it quickly and easily with just one click.
- A flexible archive with the P5 Data Mover add-on to P5 Archive helps migrate or replicate everything archived to a different storage anytime. This allows the Archive to adapt to changing policies, requirements, or price points and stay flexible and future-proof. Like P5 Backup, P5 Archive is compatible with numerous cloud services, including Amazon S3, Glacier, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze, and Wasabi. You can also choose almost any disk or LTO tape storage on the market if a local Archive is preferred.
Features of the Jellyfish High-Performance Shared Storage for Modern Post-Production include:
- Delivers turn-key high-speed production storage optimized for film, television, corporate communication, live events, broadcasting, government, and education.
- Scalable and versatile shared storage for any workflow by offering HDD, SSD, and all-flash configurations in desktop and rack-mounted systems. From compact solutions for small teams to petabyte-scale Full Flash and Hybrid options for enterprise and mission-critical applications, Jellyfish adapts to evolving workflow needs.
“At OWC, we are committed to empowering creative professionals with the tools they need to streamline workflows, protect their data, and future-proof their media assets,” said Larry O’Connor, CEO and Founder of OWC. “By integrating ARCHIWARE P5 with our Jellyfish shared storage solutions, we’re delivering a seamless, high-performance storage and backup solution that ensures reliability, security, and efficiency for teams working with high-res content. This partnership is about giving creators the confidence that their work is always accessible, protected, and ready for the next big project.”
