Production Storage with Automatic Backup

LaCie, a premium Seagate brand, offers production storage for Media Workflows as NAS or DAS that Archiware P5 protects with Backup and Archive. 

LaCie offers fastest SSDs, NAS and DAS solutions for production and post-production workflows on set and in the studio. Both, Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Direct Attached Storage (DAS) are important in production. NAS is an ideal solution for storing and sharing large data files.

Efficient teams need to work from shared storage. Internally Seagate’s Ironwolf drives for NAS deliver high capacity and extreme durability. DAS offers great performance and storage capacity.

The LaCie 6big Thunderbolt 3 with up to 108 TB of capacity on the desktop and with speeds up to 1,400 MB/s, and RAID 5/6 is excellent production storage and needs to be backed up to protect their data against errors and mishaps.

P5 Backup offers automatic Backup to disk, tape or cloud storage and ensures that files are available even when something goes wrong. Completed projects and assets can migrate to a long-term archive using P5 Archive and its mini-MAM features.

Transfer and Ingest Large Data Sets to On-Premises or Cloud Storage

To Transfer and ingest large data sets to on-prem or cloud storage Seagate offers Lyve Mobile Storage.

Lyve Mobile storage devices help to transfer big data sets efficiently to Seagate’s Lyve Cloud (or other cloud storage) or on-prem storage. Off set productions and other transfer services create challenges when it comes to transferring large amounts of data to cloud storage for collaboration. The subscription-only model allows paying only for the Lyve Mobile systems needed when they are need. 

To complete the media perspective, Seagate offers a migration and scan service. With the Lyve Managed Migration Services old media assets can be re-used. Seagate scans, digitizes, and migrates film, video and tape repositories of any tape and film media. Long-term preservation and monetization of existing and often historic assets become predictable projects.
