IMT Integrate New SoDA intelligent data management software With IPV Curator
Integrated Media Technologies (IMT) and IPV have announced the integration between IPV’s Curator media asset management and IMT’s SoDA application. SoDA enterprise software predicts the costs and streamlines data transfers to and from the public cloud.
“When working in a hybrid cloud environment and using multiple cloud tiers with different SLAs, it’s important to understand the cost and speed at which you can access your data,” says Greg Holick, VP of Product Management for software at IMT. “With SoDA and Curator, customers are in control of their cloud costs. This insight is incredibly valuable for users who are navigating an entirely new way of managing media and remote workflows, and when budgets and media usage need to be tightly managed.”Working remotely, content owners have accelerated the move to cloud-based or hybrid workflows, resulting in an increasing number of users accessing content remotely, without insight into the cost associated with moving data in and out of the cloud. Without insight into that data, cloud costs can balloon quickly. SoDA data management software puts users in control of their entire storage environment, simplifying data movement and delivering actionable insight into cloud storage spend.
Using the Dry Run feature in SoDA, Curator users can set up a real-world policy-based file transfer and determine the costs ahead of time before committing, enabling users to control their budget. SoDA provides a simple interface to manage and automate data movement through a rich policy engine. It automatically monitors and tracks every job and generates reports on-demand for departmental and client billing.
“IMT and IPV have a strong track record for building successful on-prem and hybrid cloud digital media solutions. With IPV’s new SoDA connector, we are accelerating our partnership to provide a best-of-breed data management experience for our mutual customers as they look to embrace the cloud,” says Jason Kranitz, President of IMT, Systems Integration.
SoDA for IPV Curator has been deployed by a world leading Esports gaming company to help manage media and enable users to make intelligent decisions about which assets to move to and from the cloud. The company needed insight into its cloud costs when working with competition footage as well as in-game content. In a hybrid deployment model, IPV Curator and SoDA enables editors to edit from home via a proxy then conform on-prem, increasing employee productivity, while delivering real-time cost analytics to help control budget.
