Archive & Backup to LTO Tape

Search assets by keyword

In addition to the default search parameters, you can add custom metadata to individualize your data storage. You can include categories such as time of day, lens or film location and thus locate and re-use your data more quickly and effectively.

Search assets with previews

P5 Archive has a direct integration with FFmpeg and ImageMagick and can create low resolution previews and proxies for all common video and audio formats. Since previews are stored on your primary storage, they are available anytime for browsing and searching.

Customized end user access

P5 Archive can create different login areas that ensure access to certain data for specified user groups. Different users can be granted access and restore rights only for “their” part of the archive. P5 uses a familiar “shopping cart” checkout scheme to allow users to restore their assets without IT (administrator) intervention.

High performance storage is always scarce. Archiving creates space, reduces the risk of data loss and avoids the hassle of constantly having to increase storage. Archiving also reduces the cost of storage since tape offers the lowest cost per TB of any medium. Archiving keeps all completed productions in one place. Browse and search anything anytime.
