MultiChoice partners with Datacentrix for faster content archiving
MultiChoice has partnered with Datacentrix to improve its media archiving and retrieval speeds of content.
The company’s new enterprise storage solution provides a platform for high-resolution and proxy files, and drastically improves the storage and management of content on its DStv channels.
“From the start of this project, we knew it was time to go big and go different for the archiving and retrieval of our media clips for insert and news productions and delivery to all our platforms,” said MultiChoice.
The new platform’s increased storage capacity and management software means that less footage is archived, allowing for quicker access to media and improved workflows.
“The time freed up by not having to wait for archive footage bottlenecks will have significant implications for the business’s strategy moving forward, and allow the further evolution of creative offerings to our viewers.”
