SF-Archive replaces complex, fragile legacy systems with a single platform that manages all your storage, tape, disk, and cloud, integrates with your existing workflows, and gives you full control over your content. Without the overhead, and without paying for every terabyte you store.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBook a demo\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t \n

\n\t\t\tWhy broadcasters choose SF-Archive\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t\tSix benefits SF-Archive offers that your current system probably doesn’t\t<\/h2>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\"usp-hardware-agnostic\"\n\t<\/figure>\n

\n\t\t\tHardware and system agnostic\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-Archive runs on your existing hardware and integrates with any MAM, PAM, or NRCS. No forced infrastructure changes, no vendor tie-in.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\"usp-formats\"\n\t<\/figure>\n

\n\t\t\tAll legacy formats supported\t<\/h2>\n\t

LTFS, AXF, TAR, UDF, FlashNet, Kumulate, BlackPearl, Tedial, DIVA, Tivoli, SDNA and more. Your existing content is supported from day one, without a migration.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\"usp-storage-tiering\"\n\t<\/figure>\n

\n\t\t\tAutomated storage tiering\t<\/h2>\n\t

Define your storage policies and let SF-Archive handle the rest. Content moves automatically to the right tier based on the rules you set.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\"usp-scalable\"\n\t<\/figure>\n

\n\t\t\tInfinitely scalable\t<\/h2>\n\t

From a single server to a multi-node cluster, on-prem or cloud-based. Add capacity and hardware as your archive grows; your architecture adapts, your pricing doesn’t.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\"usp-monitoring\"\n\t<\/figure>\n

\n\t\t\tPowerful monitoring and reporting\t<\/h2>\n\t

Track storage capacity, IO rates, and job queues in real time. Generate detailed reports and keep full oversight of your archive operations from one interface.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\"usp-pricing\"\n\t<\/figure>\n

\n\t\t\tNo capacity-based pricing\t<\/h2>\n\t

Your costs are tied to what the system does, not how much you store. Scale your archive without watching your bill scale with it.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOne view across all your storage\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-Archive presents your entire archive as a single unified repository. Tape libraries, disk, object storage, and cloud are all accessible through one interface. Users can search and request content without needing to know where it physically lives. Workflows run seamlessly, whether you’re archiving, restoring, or tiering content across multiple storage targets.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFrom legacy to modern, in as little as one day\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-Archive doesn’t move your content, it converts your existing archive directly into the SF-Archive ecosystem. FlashNet, Kumulate, DIVA, BlackPearl, Tivoli, SDNA, Tedial, all supported. Your assets stay exactly where they are on storage. Your team keeps working. And from day one, everything behaves as if it were built natively in SF-Archive. When you’re ready to move content to new storage targets, you do it on your own schedule, without disrupting operations.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tS3 gateway: write once, route anywhere\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-Archive can act as a native S3 object store or cloud bucket. Any S3-compatible system in your ecosystem can write directly to a pre-configured bucket, and SF-Archive automatically routes that data to your defined storage targets: tape, disk, cloud, or any combination. There’s no limit to the number of copies or geographic locations you can configure.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFlexible integrations, low-code workflows\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-Archive connects to all major MAM, PAM, and NRCS systems via REST or XML API. Direct integrations include Avid, Grass Valley, Dalet, Ross, and VizONE. An easy-to-configure orchestration layer lets operators build and manage their own workflows without custom development, automating file movement, transcoding, metadata enrichment, and more.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOn-the-fly transcode and partial file restore\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-Archive includes an integrated transcoder that normalizes or converts media as it moves through your workflow, delivering the right format to the right destination without additional tooling. Native partial file restore means you can retrieve a specific segment of a file from tape without restoring the entire asset, reducing wait times significantly for clip-level access.<\/p>\n
