SGL Announces Release Of FlashPack

SGL has announced the release of FlashPack. Unveiled at IBC 2015, FlashPack is a complete entry-level turnkey archiving system designed for use with all major media and production asset management systems.

Global broadcasters require sophisticated archive technology that enables assets to be managed and stored. However, a large archive with full disaster recovery workflows may not be appealing to a smaller broadcaster in a single location with fewer assets. SGL FlashPack provides a complete archive and content management solution that includes all the features required for a fully integrated, scalable media archive such as hardware, software, support and integration with a MAM or production system.

At the heart of FlashPack is SGL FlashNet, the content archive and storage management solution. FlashPack utilises FlashNet's power and scalability in a compact entry-level solution. It is ideal for broadcasters, sports venues, post-production houses, corporate communications and other organisations that need to manage their media assets.

Implementation is completed remotely, linking FlashPack to the user's MAM or PAM system. FlashPack is easily manageable by creative professionals, not requiring dedicated IT resources.

Lee Sheppard, SGL's Director of Product Management, said: "The FlashPack complete storage archive addresses the need for a separate, self-contained system providing a price versus performance ratio that lowers the cost of entry while ensuring the key business criteria of future scalability and security."
