Archive and restore from axle

To organize and protect your priceless media from being lost or deleted, the best tool is a Media Asset Management system. This is what axle ai does for you: it locates your assets, organizes them in a beautiful and simple user interface, organizes metadata and automatically creates low-res previews. Your team can find and work with your assets anytime, anywhere, without worrying about their actual location in your storage environment.

Speaking of storage: due to the ever-growing production and delivery formats, fast access online storage space is increasingly becoming a commodity, too. Keeping all your assets online at all times is too costly - so they need to be moved to cheaper, reliable long-term storage as soon as they are no longer needed for daily production. That is where Archiware P5 Archive comes in.

axle ai and Archiware P5 Archive communicate via the axle archive module, developed to enable seamless workflows. When P5 Archive moves a file to LTO tape, the tape number is fed back to axle ai as metadata, so the user can easily find the location.
Archiware P5 Archive is compatible with any LTO tape hardware on the market.

In terms of disk storage, Archiware P5 Archive handles direct attached storage, SAN and a growing number of NAS systems. Recently, cloud service support was added as an archive target, giving small and mid-sized companies in particular the possibility to securely archive their media without a large initial hardware investment.
