Augmented Storage beyond Content Management
Store in any location: seamlessly access anytime, anywhere
AST
AST is a hybrid HSM (Hierarchical storage management) that provides a cloud native, agnostic and cost-effective content storage solution.
AST abstracts the applications of the physical location of the media and the access method, all based on a microservices architecture and format-agnostic to files managing live content as well as closed files, SD, HD, UHD, 360VR content etc. This technology allows to quickly adapt investments when technology changes or when related storage costs go down, so it can be deployed in multiple sites, either on-premises or in the cloud. The storage paradigm of AST follows the path of an object-based approach.

Product Highlights
Cloud Native
Kubernetes infrastructure
AST Hybrid Cloud
(Private and public clouds) managed as a single IT architecture
Media Abstraction Layer
So that users don’t need to be media or storage location aware
Multi-tenancy
Multi-tenancy, multi-site, multi-tier
Secure Media
Secure media storage and transactions
Partial Restore
Partial restore and soft parting
Business Intelligence
Built into AST (storage access, performance management, system status and health)
Monitoring
Daily monitoring
The challenges
- The same content is often duplicated in multiple locations and may be replicated across geographically-separated sites
- Media files are getting larger and efficient management of the storage space is critical to control costs
- The cost control and efficiency is specially critical in Cloud storage
Interoperability
Allow to place assets in any infrastructure or applications to freely operate upon those assets from any other infrastructure
Hybrid, native and agnostic cloud solution
Interactions with the cloud internally use the Kubernetes infrastructure so the deployment on our interface support cloud native operations. AST can either manage those operations in the local cloud or the cloud storage simultaneously
Scalability
Its architecture is based on nodes that can scale up according to the storage management needs and requirements
Media abstraction capabilities
AST can manage multiple storage locations making them totally transparent to the user no matter neither the storage tier nor the technology used. Using a logical storage group management that the admin previously establish
Multi-tier agnostic
Transparently manage online storage, cloud, and deep archive with complex algorithms based on customer-tailored business rules
Multi-site
Virtualizes file locations to enable multi-site operation, cloud workflows and hybrid scenarios offering an “augmented perception” of their physical location. It seamlessly orchestrates content over several sites
