SDVI Integrates Its Rally Media Supply Chain Management Platform

SDVI has integrated its Rally media supply chain management platform with the Spectra Vail multi-cloud data management solution.

This integration enables Rally users to manage content and files in cloud storage, in one or multiple on-premises storage systems, or in both.

Many media organisations maintain large on-premises storage footprints with tens to thousands of hours of valuable content. As they look to monetise this content via cloud-based media supply chains, they need a way to access their on-premises storage to source content for supply chains managed by Rally and its network of application services. The integration of Rally with Vail ensures that Rally can source content from Vail-managed on-premises or cloud storage, process that content based on supply chain parameters, and store the resulting output content in either standard S3 cloud storage or back to on-premises storage.

"Our integration with Spectra Vail enables entirely new workflows and extends the ability of the Rally platform to access and manage content residing in on-premises storage," said Andy Brinck, vice president of strategic alliances for SDVI. "Having a fully S3-compatible storage connector for on-premises storage available in Rally is a real game changer for workflows that depend on access to archive content."

Spectra Vail has helped numerous M&E organisations link their on-premises storage with their growing cloud storage, as users increasingly seek to integrate on-premises storage into their cloud workflows. Coupled with the SDVI Rally media supply chain management platform, the Spectra Vail solution enables customers to extend their content storage into the cloud even while having the option to maintain on-premises storage for original masters. The integration also provides a migration path from on-premises storage to cloud storage and/or repatriate over time — whether that’s slow migration of a full legacy archive or selective migration of content as needed to satisfy new content deals.
