AUTOMATED ACCESS TO LTO
Media Portal allows users to browse, preview and download selected LTO content XenData BY KEVIN EMMOTT 3Ready can deliver personalised content services across all user devices
Media Portal from XenData is a software subscription package designed for its LTO and public cloud archive service. With a simple interface to browse archived fi les, preview videos and images, and download selected content, it’s available for systems with robotic LTO libraries and external LTO drives. When video and image fi les are written to the system, previews are created and stored on the archive’s managed disk volume. Authorised users can then view the previews, select the fi les that
they need and download them via the portal. XenData LTO archives manage an unlimited number of externalised tape cartridges. Media Portal provides previews of all the video and image content stored ‘on the shelf’, together with the cartridge barcode information which tells the user which LTO cartridges should be imported back into the library to be able to access the required content.
It runs on a physical or virtual
Windows machine and includes a gateway to the cloud, including AWS S3, Azure Blob storage and Wasabi object storage. 6.A24
