ALTO’s capability to scale and safely store assets, and then restore them within seconds, is providing industry professionals with instant web browser access to multiple views of over 250,000 assets spanning a 10 year archive.

RaceTech selected the combination of a Disk Archive Corporation ALTO archive system and the Squared Paper Designs’ Busby ESB system, to provide a new generation solution to meet the demands of race officials and broadcasters. The traditional video archive flow was limited by slow physical tape processing, and a limiting production asset management (PAM) system integration. Key to horse race broadcast requirements is having an optimised media archive capability that provides ease of access and usability for race officials and broadcasters. Supplying complex and industry advancing solutions, RaceTech are world leaders in Photofinish technology. The combined value proposition that the two companies offer is convincing and powerful, replacing the traditional data tape library with ALTO to deliver a fully secure tapeless workflow with superior performance, high availability and much lower total cost of ownership integrated with the best in IT-based software playout.Disk Archive Corporation RaceTech Case Study Backed by 70 years of technical innovation and research, RaceTech provides outside broadcast and regulatory technical services to the horse racing industry. We are delighted to combine the benefits of the ALTO Content Library with that of the OASYS Player through our strategic alliance with OASYS, states Alan Hoggarth, CEO at Disk Archive Corporation. OASYS Media Manager manages the movement of media files to the OASYS Player servers as demanded by each channels schedule. The OASYS Media Library indexes all the content stored on the ALTO, creating a metadata XML for each media file. The ALTO Content Library is used by OASYS as the central shared storage between OASYS Player servers. It provides an ideal archive for transmission-ready content in multi-channel playout environments supporting removable media for vault storage, media transportation and disaster recovery. The result is a cost-effective alternative to a data tape library with fast access, no planned maintenance and higher security than simple RAID storage. ∺s our clients scale-up the number of channels they playout using OASYS Player, and build larger and larger catalogues of media, so the need for a cost-effective, media archive managed solution has grown. Forming a strategic alliance with Disk Archive Corporation allows us to offer our clients a modern, scalable and reliable media archiving solution for their playout facility that is fully integrated with our playout solutions.ĪLTO is based on a unique variant of the MAID architecture with totally independent control of each disk in a densely packed array of affordable green drives which are designed to support spin-down operation. Any individual disk which is not reading or writing is switched off, saving power and greatly extending disk life. ∺t OASYS we believe in pioneering innovative and reliable solutions to meet our clients specific playout needs, explained Fraser Jardine, VP Global Sales at OASYS.
