DiskLibrary is a Highly Flexible and Cost-Effective Alternative

Etere DiskLibrary features lower costs, better performance and manageability. It is an archive based on sleeping disks and users can use any archive enclosure. It is a cost-effective alternative to LTO tapes.

Etere DiskLibrary is a next-generation software solution that manages archive based on sleeping disks. It is compatible with any archive enclosure and users do not need to use a dedicated one. Recognizing that data retention and long-term archive are important elements of a broadcasting lifecycle, Etere DiskLibrary is designed to offer greater flexibility and security at a lower cost. It is a cost-efficient alternative to Linear Tape-Open (LTO) tapes. Etere DiskLibrary allows unlimited I/O while LTO access is only limited by the number of files and linear access. With current technology, cost is less than LTO for capacity up to 1 PB. In addition, Etere DiskLibrary is also easy to upgrade and maintain.

The software's integration with SQL database enables faster replications, migrations and integrations. In the event of a site-wide disaster, Etere DiskLibrary keeps your data safe. It is able to cluster multiple disk archives to create a geographically distributed archive that provides both logical and physical redundancies in the event of a system failure. Additionally, Etere DiskLibrary is a versatile solution that works well on its own or as part of a hybrid disk and tape solution.

As a company's requirements evolve and change, Etere DiskLibrary’s modular design allows optimized scaling to fit the specific needs of both single-device and multi-device archive management. It is a cost-effective solution that improves performance and enables faster file restorations when compared to tape. Users who want to restore parts of a file can manage it easily with the partial restore feature. The all-in-one solution can be used together with Etere Media Asset Management (MAM) for a centralised management. It can also be used for newsroom archive and serves as an effective storage solution for agency feeds and media content.
