XenData: Scalable Digital Storage and Archiving Solutions

XenData Software delivers industry-leading digital storage solutions that scale from terabytes to petabytes, trusted by organizations in broadcast, healthcare, engineering, and scientific research. XenData enables the archiving and retrieval of digital video, medical images, and other large-scale data, making critical assets more accessible, organized, and secure.

Affordable, Automated Digital Archives

Historically, digital video archives were expensive and relied on proprietary solutions, leaving many assets on tapes such as Beta, VHS, and DV making them difficult to access and manage. XenData changes that by providing automated, standards-based digital archives that integrate seamlessly with your existing Windows infrastructure. Robotic tape libraries combined with XenData software deliver an affordable solution for large-scale, fully automated digital video archives.

Industry Standards Protect Your Investment

XenData is committed to non-proprietary, IT industry standards, ensuring long-term compatibility and flexibility:

• Standard Windows File System: Nearline disk, tape, and offline storage appear as a Windows logical drive, supporting all file types like MPEG, AVI, MXF.

• Leading Tape Formats: Supports LTO, DLT, and SAlT tapes with the TAR file format for broad utility compatibility.

• Network Protocols: Optimized for Windows network protocols and FTP transfers.

• File Security: Integrates with Microsoft Active Directory for controlled access.

Multi-Tiered, Accessible Storage

XenData transforms storage workflows by introducing multi-tiered storage into video facilities:

• Tier 1: High-performance ‘On-Air’ storage

• Tier 2: Nearline magnetic disk arrays and tape storage within robotic libraries

• Tier 3: Offline tape storage for infrequently accessed data

This tiered approach allows efficient cataloging, searching, and retrieval of massive amounts of data while enhancing existing high-speed storage.

Powerful Functionality and Scalability

XenData archives provide advanced features designed for professional workflows:

• High-speed file transfers, often exceeding real-time, for minimal workflow disruption

• Partial file restore for any file type

• Policy-based management of disk and tape storage for optimized retention
