Company


XenData is a leading provider of digital archive solutions focused on the needs of the media and entertainment industry. XenData digital video archives are installed in over 50 countries, especially at TV stations, video production companies, post-production organizations and video service organizations.

The company was founded in 2001 and is based in Cambridge, UK and Walnut Creek, California, USA. Key factors in XenData's success are reliable high performance products and an organization focussed on the needs of the customer.

XenData archives range from multi-petabyte server solutions which archive video files to RAID and robotic LTO tape libraries, through to lower cost workstation systems that archive to LTO-5 tape drives. Based on a standard file system, XenData server solutions make the digital video archive appear as a network share which provides easy integration with other standards-based systems. Video files are written to LTO data tape using the open standard POSIX tar format. This is important for long term archives because it means that files can be restored for decades to come using a wide range of native Linux and Unix operating systems, Windows Services for Unix - as well as using XenData software. When these standards based advantages are combined with the ability to deliver the high performance and reliability required for today's demanding video applications, XenData provides a winning formula for the media and entertainment industry.
