MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 24, 2017) - Promise Technology, Inc., a leading storage solutions provider for creative and IT applications, today announced that its VTrak A-Class turnkey SAN file system solutions will now include bundled axle Starter software. By providing browser-based access to every video, audio and still image file, axle's Starter software gives VTrak A-Class users the ability to easily manage their rich media projects from any computer on the network.
Promise's VTrak A-Class is ideal for multi-user collaboration to ingest, edit, stream, and process rich media. A true 'all-in-one solution in a box' RAID storage subsystem, the VTrak A-Class features an integrated metadata appliance and embedded file system for big data, along with an optional NAS gateway.
"Promise's VTrak A-Class solutions are known for their low total cost of ownership, simplicity of deployment, ease of use and incredible performance," noted Vijay Char, president, Promise Technology USA. "By including axle's highly regarded asset management software, we're bringing more value to our end-users, fostering more efficient collaboration and accelerating rich media workflows among creative teams of all sizes."
Valued at $495, axle's Starter software includes the ability to catalog up to 300,000 assets (axle's larger configurations now support over 2 million assets) and support 2 users. This configuration can be upgraded by adding user accounts or functional modules, such as axle's new axle ai visual search technology, axle's Advanced Transcode option, archive integrations for Archiware P5 and XenData, and ingest integrations with Softron, Cinedeck and MOG.
Other benefits include:
- Create proxies of media for faster and easier handling
- View, tag, search, share, and organize content quickly and easily
- Easily get media from axle to Adobe Premiere Pro CC and/or Apple Final Cut Pro X without needing to move media around
According to Sam Bogoch, CEO of axle Video, "We are thrilled to be working with Promise, a longtime leader in storage for creative applications. Their pioneering work and great track record in Thunderbolt and Fibre Channel storage, as well as the power of their new VTrak A-Class solutions, make them an ideal partner for us as we continue on our mission to make browser-based search radically simple."
A webinar highlighting the combined power of Promise's VTrak A-Class and axle's Starter software will be held on Wednesday, November 8 at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST. Key product managers from Promise and axle will lead the discussion, which will include workflow demonstrations and a question and answer session. Register here for this free online event.
