2012-09-20

SAN DIEGO, CA, September 20, 2012 (Press-News.org) SoleraTec LLC, a provider of innovative video lifecycle management and storage products, is introducing the new Phoenix Firebird family of media asset management archiving appliances for organizations that are struggling with storage of video, audio, and still images. These affordable, professional-grade, network storage archive systems are engineered with the needs of video professionals in mind. Powered by the award-winning Phoenix VCM content management software, the Phoenix Firebird family of digital media archive appliances delivers best-of-breed hardware and software in an affordable archive storage management solution.

The dynamic infrastructure of the Phoenix Firebird was designed around a digital media need for accelerated archive and retrieval workflows. Through its ability to search, preview, and re-purpose all forms of digital media, the Phoenix Firebird family of digital media archive appliances brings quick access to needed content. The built in Phoenix VCM software -creating low-resolution proxies for users- allows them to quickly and easily preview and search entire catalogs of video assets.

SoleraTec's Phoenix Firebird cross-platform ability to work in mixed Mac and PC environments as well as cross-application support for Avid, Final Cut Pro, Premier, and other video editing suites, allows for over-arching management of all video assets. This plug-and-play appliance is a complete solution supporting all forms of digital media with expanded video management functionality.

Built upon the Sans Digital brand of storage hardware, the new SoleraTec Phoenix Firebird family of digital media archive appliances delivers the video content management functionality in an all-in-one appliance. These scalable appliances can be aggregated within a network to provide a growth path -or pay-as-you-grow- for necessary video storage needs of any sized organization.

"With the tremendous growth in video data that video professionals generate each day, the new Phoenix Firebird solution delivers even greater archiving management and flexibility in a single plug-and-play appliance," stated Mark Armstrong, CEO of SoleraTec. "Throw in an intuitive easy-to-use interface and total cost of ownership savings in hardware and software and these new appliances can deliver a quality video archive and management experience where it matters most."

As an organization begins to exhaust their storage capacity for digital assets, they are forced to look for alternatives. Today's choices have been limited in features and functionality. This is where the new Phoenix Firebird family of digital media archive appliances provides the ideal software and hardware solution for these organizations.
