Data Core and Symply launch the new appliance SymplyTransporter

DataCore and Symply has launched a new media-optimized, easily transportable on-set appliance, SymplyTransporter. This appliance media enables fast, efficient, secure storage and transport of media content between On-Set locations and In-Facility storage.

It is about a highly scalable, flexible, and secure object storage platform, simplifies content capture, preprocessing, categorization, searchability, and seamless content integration into a facility’s DataCore Swarm or SymplyPerifery, as well as movement of content to other archive systems or primary storage.

“SymplyTransporter is the answer to the growing demand for on-set and remote media workflow appliances that offer capabilities beyond portable RAID arrays,” said Abhijit Dey, chief product officer at DataCore. “As media workflows continue to evolve and capacities grow, RAID rebuild times for re-preparing for field use and the inability to host applications on-set, hinders efficiency and greatly slows down production. Our solution enables faster, safer, and more efficient transport of media content with state-of-the-art data protection and exclusive capabilities such as categorization and searchability.”

The appliance is designed for content creators and owners, including postproduction facilities, independent producers, and studios that produce content remotely. Allows users to safely store and transport content, add valuable metadata, and seamlessly integrate assets into larger facility storage faster and easier than using common hard drive and SSD-based arrays, with no time wasted in rebuilding and re-preparing RAID arrays.

Automated preprocessing capabilities on the SymplyTransporter solution save users significant time and effort, eliminating the need for expensive, complex servers and other hardware.

The appliance includes the new DataCore Perifery Panel for Adobe Premiere Pro. The Perifery Panel streamlines content access for SymplyTransporter users on Adobe Premiere Pro.

Also leverages third-party software applications to automate key workflow tasks such as content preprocessing, categorization, and provisioning, maximizing on-set data collection.

The media appliance will be available in December 2022.
