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.
