VICE's storage solution needs to be best-in-breed. Ultra-high-performance is, of course, a given requirement, but we also need easy administration and intelligent features, all of which the pixitmedia system provides. In terms of deployment and support, I have now worked with ERA for nearly a decade and knew they could be trusted to deliver.

How It Works

Broadcasters and media professionals face the growing challenge of running complex distributed workflows efficiently and securely without being locked in or taxed for accessing their data. ngenea, pixitmedia’s global collaboration and data orchestration solution, addresses this challenge in tandem with pixstor, pixitmedia’s software-defined solution. ngenea is a unique platform that enables data management seamlessly and efficiently across multiple locations and through each phase of the media and entertainment production lifecycle.

ngenea consolidates these capabilities into a single point of orchestration and control while expanding the protection, acceleration, and simplification of data-centric workflows. ngenea enables broadcast and media services organizations to launch new, globally accessible data-centric workflows in seconds across multiple on-premises, public, and private-cloud endpoints simultaneously, simply, and securely. This ensures that data gets as close as possible to users and applications that need it – at just the right time – without pipeline managers, systems administrators, or users’ intervention.
