DIVAprotect™

For the first time at BroadcastAsia, Front Porch will show an optional enhancement to its DIVArchive™ content storage management (CSM) solution that protects precious content from the ravages of data tape and drive degradation by continually monitoring digital storage infrastructure. DIVAprotect brings a new level of long-term content protection, management and security to DIVArchive, the industry-leading CSM solution.

CSM solutions are reliable workhorses within a file-based facility, but content storage also relies on physical devices such as data and tape drives whose degradation by time, motion, and environment can cause performance
glitches and even outright content loss. Until now, the only way to solve the problem was to schedule periodic replacement of drives and media regardless of whether failure was likely, which was potentially a waste of
time and money.

DIVAprotect actively collects quality and performance data with each and every DIVArchive transaction, and analyses whether the information indicates the probability that any individual file-based media object in the system could be at risk. When DIVAprotect determines a particular storage device is at risk, it identifies media objects that might be affected and alerts technical staff to the problem so that they can respond proactively -- before trouble strikes.
