TV
Everywhere has announced a tie up with nearline storage experts Object Matrix
to deliver scalable ‘local cloud’ media management solutions.
The
partnership sees TV Everywhere’s Mstorer media asset management system
integrated with Object Matrix’ MatrixStore media storage system to enable a
‘local cloud’ solution for customers who wish to keep some or all of their
assets in-house on the corporate network.
“We’re
clearly moving to a world where keeping assets in the cloud is becoming more
and more acceptable,” comments TV Everywhere CEO, Iolo Jones. “But for very
large files being used in the asset production process, it still makes much
more sense to keep these local until the production is complete. This is where
Object Matrix comes in. They have proven, highly scalable storage solutions
that can cope with the massive growth brought about by ‘Big Data’.”

Everywhere’s Mstorer is a cloud based social media management system used by
client such as government departments, law firms and production companies. It
was used by the Mayor of London’s office to manage all the video and images for
the cultural events surrounding London 2012.
Nick Pearce, co-founder of Object
Matrix said, “We have been looking for the opportunity to work with Iolo and
the team for quite some time and the integration with the TV Everywhere Mstorer
platform enables us to do just that.
There is strong demand for cloud based asset management solutions that
can provide a mix of both cloud based and locally available content. Mstorer is
designed to provide that flexibility.”
MatrixStore is a highly secure disk-based nearline
storage platform designed to protect digital assets in an automated, repeatable
and regulated manner. It is a safe place to protect assets currently being
