Inflight Dublin expands storage capacity with EditShare
Inflight Dublin works with EditShare for expanding storage capacity
Inflight Dublin has expanded its storage capacity with EditShare, by adding further high-powered EFS nodes. The new appliances, supplied through EditShare’s channel partner Tyrell, provide an additional half petabyte of capacity to the company’s infrastructure.
“We curate and package everything that is needed for IFE: video, audio, subtitles and metadata,” said Pat Nolan, Director of IT and Information Security for Inflight Dublin. “We need agility to combine content with the right audio and subtitle languages, in the right formats for the IFE equipment on the client’s planes, quickly, accurately and securely.”
Inflight Dublin utilizes a tiered content storage strategy to optimize its production and archiving processes. This strategy includes EFS production storage, EFS nearline storage and long-term archival solutions, the December 11 press release said.
EFS production nodes deliver high-performance storage for fast content creation. EFS nearline storage serves as an intermediate parking storage solution. Upon project completion and delivery, all content is securely archived using EditShare ARK.
Content flows and access are managed through EditShare FLOW software, which also provides the integration point for Inflight Dublin’s in-house developed software tools for automatically creating deliverables. Embedded in FLOW is EditShare Guardian, for comprehensive analytics and audit trailing, and combined with EditShare’s inherent security, provides assurance to the company’s suppliers.
“As Infight’s long-term partner, we understand the critical role workflow and security plays in its business and the demanding needs of the airlines it serves,” said Stephen Murnane, Account Manager, Tyrell. “By providing additional EditShare EFS storage, Inflight Dublin can ensure a seamless IFE experience for passengers worldwide.”
“Content is a fundamental part of Inflight Dublin’s operations,” said Tara Montford, Co-Founder and EVP Sales at EditShare. “Its suppliers need to be certain that their intellectual property is protected; its customers need to know that the passengers on their planes will be delighted by the IFE experience, not disappointed or frustrated.”
