New Omneon MirrorTool Simplifies and Automates Maintenance of Redundant Spectrum Server Systems
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- April 10, 2006 -- Omneon Video Networks
new
MirrorTool™ application, to be unveiled at the NAB2006 exhibition,provides
facilities using redundant Omneon Spectrum™ media server systems with an
automated solution for copying ingested and edited media files from one
server system to another. This new addition to Omneon's MediaTools suite
not only simplifies maintenance of fully redundant server configurations,
but also enables distributed production environments and more accurate and
reliable disaster-recovery capabilities.
"For facilities with limited automation systems, MirrorTool can
dramatically reduce the time and cost associated with managing files across
multiple systems," said Geoff Stedman, Omneon vice president of worldwide
marketing. "With its unattended background operation and easy-to-use
file-explorer interface, MirrorTool allows system administrators to
minimize time spent on maintaining synchronized file systems and focus
their energies on other elements of broadcast operations."
When two Spectrum systems are used in a peer-to-peer arrangement, ingest
and editing can take place on either system, and MirrorTool's bidirectional
synchronization capability ensures that the two systems always mirror one
another.
In broadcast environments in which one Spectrum server system is used as
the primary machine and a second Spectrum system is used as a backup,
MirrorTool automatically copies ingested and edited media files to the
backup system, duplicating the folder hierarchy as needed to make it an
exact match. When the secondary server is located in an off-site location,
MirrorTool supports disaster-recovery configurations by enabling a complete
rebuild of the primary server contents.
