Object Matrix - MatrixStore

MatrixStore is software that turns low-cost disk (Promise VTrack, Xserve RAID etc.) into a safe place to store your digital assets. It is a secure store to archive all your digital creations for as long as you want to keep them. It puts all your archived assets onto your network, available to search and use instantly.

MatrixStore has been designed for Professional Video and Film production and is ideal for Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Server workflows. It’s built on a cluster of Apple’s server and storage arrays. And it is a great complement for Xsan, offering long-term protection for the final cuts you need to keep. A SAN is perfect for provisioning high performance shared workspace for the editing and production process. Its architecture, management and costs are less suited to long-term protection of assets. Xsan is ideal for what your working now, MatrixStore for keeping original footage and final cuts safe.

MatrixStore can also integrate directly into other applications in your workflow through our open application programming interface (API). Or you can use our DropSpot desktop application to search, upload and download assets from MatrixStore allowing you to script and automate processes across Mac, Windows and Linux platforms and applications.

A MatrixStore license cost $1000 for every Terabyte of asses you need to store. You can download a 15TB MatrixStore license with our compliments to help get you started.

Protect
MatrixStore is different from other disk-based systems. It can manage a failure of a complete storage array while keeping your assets available for you to search and use. And if hardware fails MatrixStore re-protects all assets affected, putting a copy of them onto another independent piece of hardware in the system, automatically. You can also configure MatrixStore to replicate all your assets to another off-site MatrixStore to further enhance protection.

Manage-less
The management overhead of your archive becomes increasingly important as it grows. As does the task of keeping it safe for many years. MatrixStore is designed to lower these management overheads. It’s simple to set up, easy and fast to add capacity and it automatically backs up every asset you store. MatrixStore automatically re-protects all the assets affected by any hardware failures. All designed to lower the management requirement and make protecting hundreds of terabytes for many years as painless as possible.

Content Rules
MatrixStore makes it viable to put everything you’ve ever created onto your network. Metadata stays with your assets right through their lifecycle which means all your archived content is searchable and available instantly. MatrixStore integrates with Final Cut Server. It has an open interface (API) and can also play well with other Media Asset Managers and applications in your workflow.
