CatDV Asset Management Platform
A CatDV asset management system, now from Quantum, when integrated with a XenData Archive, provides a powerful and cost effective solution for management and long term retention of video assets on LTO cartridges or in the Azure Cloud.
Functionality
Archive, restore and delete archived clips, right from the CatDV Pro interface or Web Client – Search for a clip in CatDV, view the proxy and retrieve the high res content from the XenData archive without leaving the CatDV interface.
Manage offline LTO Cartridges from the CatDV Interface – When restoring offline content, the cartridges that contain the files are identified in the CatDV interface, allowing you to insert these back into the XenData system.
Archive to Tier 2 RAID and the Azure Cloud – Configure the archive system with up to 240 TB of low cost RAID and petabytes of Azure Cloud storage. Provides fast restores and offline copies of your high res content.
Direct transfer of files between Edit Storage and XenData Archive – The system may be configured to transfer hi-res content directly between edit storage and the XenData archive, avoiding overloading the CatDV Server or any clients.
Select XenData Archive Location from CatDV Interface – Useful when you want to have multiple archive locations, for example archive to a group of replicated LTO cartridges or to the Azure Cloud.
Select Restore Location from CatDV Interface – Useful when you have multiple edit storage locations.
The North Shore module requires a restricted CatDV worker node installed on the XenData archive server, a minimum of two CatDV Web Client licenses available on the CatDV Server and version 6.10.6 or 7.0.6 or higher of CatDV Server. The module is supported by the North Shore team based in the USA.

XenData’s fully supported clustered server meets all the requirements for our disaster recovery site. We have been very pleased with the SX-525 product and XenData’s technical team who have provided system design and integration services above and beyond expectations.
Crew Cuts
I did my research, and the best archive solution was from XenData which manages a robotic LTO library behind the scenes. This helps to minimize our total costs and allows us to focus on producing great content for our customers.
Ideal Systems Singapore
We partnered with XenData for the GlobeCast Broadcast facility rollout, because it offers one of the most cost effective, robust digital video archives on the market and a great migration alternative to some of the more expensive digital video archive vendor offerings.
North Shore Automation
Having completed over 25 joint installations of XenData archive systems, we have found everyone on the XenData team to be both highly professional and super responsive and their technology to be rock solid. They are truly a pleasure to work with.
This is Just a Test
With over 558 TB of content and growing, conventional backup solutions just don’t work for us. Our XenData system allows us to maintain an ongoing mirrored copy of our shared storage while creating replica LTO copies for offsite storage.
Excelencia
We have now installed over 170 XenData archive systems across Mexico and they have proven to be very reliable. In addition, the technical support from XenData has been outstanding.
