\n\t\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t

SFS Media builds archive management software for broadcasters and media companies. We focus on one corner of the market and we know it well: large-scale video archives, the complex legacy systems that hold them, and the infrastructure decisions that surround them.<\/p>\n\t \n\t

Our two founders, Mark Bouwensch and Dave Bray, bring over 30 years of combined experience in broadcast operations and IT architecture. That background shapes everything we build: software that solves real problems in real production environments, not generic IT tools adapted for broadcast as an afterthought.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhat we do\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t\tSF-Archive\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-Archive<\/strong> is our flagship product: a modern archive management platform that gives broadcasters unified control over all their storage tiers. It replaces fragmented or outdated systems with a single, scalable platform that fits your infrastructure, integrates with your existing workflows, and is priced on functionality rather than storage volume.<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\tSF-One\t<\/h2>\n\t

SF-One<\/strong> is a compact, all-in-one archive appliance built for media collections up to 1PB. It brings the core capabilities of SF-Archive to teams that need a straightforward, ready-to-run solution without the complexity of a multi-node enterprise setup.<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t\u00a0Services\t<\/h2>\n\t

Conversion & Migration Services<\/strong> handle the full process of moving content out of legacy archives, including FlashNet, Kumulate, DIVA, BlackPearl, Tivoli, and SDNA. We migrate to a new platform, onboard into SF-Archive without moving content, or support a phased approach around your operations.<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\tPartners and global reach\t<\/h2>\n\t

Our customers include some of the largest public and private broadcasters in Europe, the United Stats and beyond. They rely on us for enterprise-grade software, responsive support, and a team that understands both the technical and operational sides of archive management.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our worldwide network of system integrators and resellers, we can support deployments and implementations wherever our customers are based.<\/p>\n

Our ecosystem of technology partners like Avid, Grass Valley, EVS, Ross, EditShare, and DiskArchive, ensures that SF-Archive integrates smoothly into the broadcast infrastructure our customers already rely on.<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\tOur approach to pricing\t<\/h2>\n\t

Most archive software vendors charge based on how much storage you use. We think that model works against the customer, so we do not use it. SF-Archive is priced on functionality: what the system does, not how much data runs through it. That means predictable costs, no penalties for growth, and no incentive for us to keep you dependent on proprietary formats or infrastructure.<\/p>\n
