Masstech, a provider of advanced workflow and media asset management solutions, and data storage systems manufacturer Qualstar Corporation have partnered to offer broadcasters and media organizations affordable LTO tape-based archiving solutions.
“Qualstar's tape libraries offer customers a reliable, affordable storage option for archiving, with their LTO-7 systems particularly enticing,” says Mike Palmer, Vice President of Business Strategy at Masstech. “Qualstar also shares our philosophy of helping customers manage their TCO, with no hidden capacity-based costs. Qualstar libraries are sold with all tape slots fully licensed and available. This partnership further exemplifies our commitment to supporting the broadest array of storage options while delivering great value to our customers.”
Combined Qualstar and Masstech installations are already in use in television network and newsroom environments for top-tier media companies.
“Masstech is a trusted name among broadcasters and major entertainment brands, with innovative solutions and a loyal and rapidly expanding global customer base,” says Arun Vaishampayan, Qualstar VP of Global Sales. “We're excited to be working closely with Masstech to unite the technical, operational and economic advantages of our data storage solutions with the intuitive user experiences and advanced workflow efficiency of Masstech's software.”
