Colorado, USA - MTV Networks has selected Front Porch Digital DIVArchive and DIVAnet solutions for its broadcast content archive management system between its network operations centre in New York and its backup facility in Nashville, Tennessee.

Based on a combination of integrated software and hardware components, Front Porch Digital DIVArchive is a uniquely flexible content storage management solution that simplifies the process of preserving, managing and accessing content for operations of all sizes.

"DIVAnet leverages the core archiving and storage extension functionality of DIVArchive by enabling the intelligent linking of archives between physical facilities," said Dave Polyard, Front Porch Digital’s senior vice president of sales for North America.

"DIVAnet combined with DIVArchive makes it possible for small broadcasters or broadcasters as large as MTV Networks to implement strategies ranging from fully distributed business continuance functionality to content interchange and repurposing," he said.

At MTV Networks, DIVAnet links independent DIVArchive systems located in New York and Tennessee via wide area network (WAN). For a given clip, DIVAnet transfers not only the standard MPEG wrapper and essence file, but also associated metadata to facilitate later identification and placement. In addition, it surmounts the challenges of long-distance file transfers without the need for human intervention.

MTV Networks implemented Front Porch Digital's content storage management system in May this year.
