Sector Guide Pioneering sustainable digital archiving
PRESERVING DATA for future generations is becoming more important than ever, and ArchiFlix, by DigiFilm, is a solution that merges the benefits of analogue and digital technologies to provide sustainable archiving for digital data. ArchiFlix is designed to ensure data longevity by recording visual digital codes onto film, a medium recognised for its durability and reliability. This innovative approach allows data to be preserved for over 100 years, offering a robust solution for long-term digital preservation. Using Write Once, Read Many (WORM) technology, ArchiFlix guarantees that data cannot be altered once written, ensuring data integrity and security. A key feature of ArchiFlix is its ‘store and forget’ mode. This tamper-proof mode allows for open access retrieval using standard scanners, eliminating the need for constant migrations, upgrades, or maintenance. As a result, ArchiFlix
becomes not only a cost-effective solution but also an environmentally friendly option, reducing electronic waste and the need for frequent new storage hardware. ArchiFlix addresses the common drawbacks of traditional
archiving methods, which often result in the loss of metadata and provide only raster files. In contrast, ArchiFlix ensures that the retrieved digital file is an exact copy of the original, complete with all its metadata. This preservation method is geared towards guaranteeing the authenticity and usability of the archived data.
For various industries, ranging from cinema and defence
to architecture and space agencies, ArchiFlix offers a tailored solution that meets the specific needs of each sector. Its quick retrieval time, within 72 hours, makes it practical for long-term data storage.

Accelerating business intelligence for the future
INDEXIMA is a platform designed to accelerate BI queries and enhance data visualisation, avoiding the complexities often associated with traditional setups. It provides a solution to the paradox of Business Intelligence.
While BI tools make data accessible and user-
friendly, the underlying processes can be intricate and time-consuming. Indexima transforms this experience by automatically creating and maintaining the optimal aggregation layer over time. Using dynamic tables and machine learning algorithms, it aims to provide a self-service experience that requires no human intervention, which leads to faster query performance and reduced operational costs. A key feature is its focus on sustainability. By pre- computing smart aggregates, the platform eliminates the need to scan large datasets repeatedly, boosting performance and reducing the carbon footprint associated with data processing.
Indexima offers two main products: - Indexima 1.0: This on-premises solution has been a trusted BI expert warehouse since 2017, providing reliable and efficient data management. - Indexima 2.0: Launched in 2024, this cloud-based solution, compatible with Snowflake, extends its capabilities to the cloud, with plans to expand to DataBricks. This version offers flexibility and scalability.
Whether on-premises or in the cloud, Indexima empowers enterprises to make data-driven decisions quickly and effectively.
