Creation Club Choose SGL Flashnet As Part Of Content Management System

Software Generation Ltd (SGL), has been selected by one of Germany’s leading creative agencies for audiovisual production, Creation Club, to provide SGL FlashNet as part of a major Content Management System (CMS).
SGL FlashNet is being installed at the facility as part of Avid’s Interplay non-linear digital workflow engine. The software will be used as an Avid Media Archive and shared storage backup. Felix Sauer, Creation Club’s Technical Director said: "This installation of SGL FlashNet is making a big difference to the facility, as all of our assets are completely digitized bit by bit following tape ingest. This has significantly improved our workflow and provides a seamless transition from editing to archive and vice versa."
The SGL-managed archive provides Creation Club with 20TB of disk storage for the first stage and 100TB of tape library storage for seamless migration between multiple layers of hierarchical storage.
Bernie Walsh, SGL’s Sales Director commented: "We are delighted to announce this installation at Creation Club, further underlining SGL’s strong commitment to the European market. The workflow now being used by Creation Club allows its creatives to maximize the potential of all of the facility’s assets, whilst having confidence that they are securely stored and can be accessed as required."
Creation Club works with a number of leading broadcasters including Premiere, ZDF, DSF, arena, Disney Channel, DMAX, Canal+ (Scandinavia), ATV (Austria) and Plug TV (Belgium).
The facility also developed and interpreted the complete on-air design package for Red Bull´s 'Red Bull AirRace' broadcast by TV stations worldwide.
