TV5 chooses Front Porch Digital for broadcast archive management

Front Porch Digital (FPD), the Broadcast & Media Division of Incentra Solutions, has announced that Sette Ltée has purchased a DIVArchive system as part of a TV5 Monde DIVArchive installation located on Sette's premises in Montreal.
The facility will act as a disaster recovery site for TV5 Monde. Sette Ltée is the third Front Porch customer in Canada, and the first in Montreal. Front Porch partner Toronto/Montreal-based Applied Electronics was the systems integrator for the project.
"Front Porch has proven to be a very reliable archiving solutions provider over the years, and we trust DIVArchive with our mission-critical operations," said Marcel Charette, Technical Director at Sette Ltée. "The company and its products have earned its position as a global leader in broadcast archive management."
The new DIVArchive installation will deploy with 10 TB of disk capacity. Content will be delivered to the site from a Grass Valley Profile server in Paris to a Profile server in Montreal, using the Thomson UIM gateway as the send and receive mechanism. The entire system will operate under SGT automation as the control layer initiating archives between Paris and Montreal.
Company President Mike Knaisch said: "Front Porch Digital has been called the global leader in broadcast archive management, and we are the dominant choice of French-language broadcasters worldwide.
"With our recent selection by Sette and TV5 Monde, we now strengthen our position in the Canadian market. With the help of strong partners like Applied Electronics, I am confident we can continue our progress."
