Supports unlimited distributed storage by managing any combination of data-tape robotic libraries with disk arrays in NAS and/or SAN configurations
Control of disaster recovery and/or multiple remote sites situated in different physical locations. Intelligent real-time dynamic prioritisation of the required file moving between robotic libraries and disk storage
Highly efficient partial restore keeps a global view of clips and segments needed by the operators as well as system and traffic workflows, offering faster retrieval times, and dramatically reducing tape mounting operations
Redundant and distributed architecture balancing requests among disk arrays
Automatic management of LTO tape groups and on-line disk partitions for versatility, comprehensive user media access rights and increased overall performance
Graphical user interface for managing and monitoring all content available regardless of location.
Ability to read barcodes and keep track of the physical location of LTO tapes stored outside the robotic libraries
Runs on standard IT servers in highly available grid architecture
New libraries and disk array storage repositories can be added simply by adding new AST servers
Safe and efficient archiving of media on inexpensive standard IT disk array-based servers
Designed around the challenges of moving, handling and retrieving segments from very large files such as HD video
Powerful API allows AST to be controlled by third-party systems
