Archiware GmbH, manufacturer of data management software suite Archiware P5, is launching the P5 Archive App at IBC 2015. The P5 Archive App allows archiving and restore of files, folders and Final Cut Pro X projects directly from the Finder. Munich/Amsterdam, September 2015 – At IBC, the most important trade show for the broadcast and media industry in Europe, the Archiware product line P5 will be shown and supported by the largest number of partners ever. This year, 25 hardware and software companies make up the list of P5 compatible products – with NEC Corporation and NEXSAN by Imation joining the ever-growing partner network. A list of all partners with a map of Exhibition Hall 7 can be found at http://www.archiware.com/files/IBC15_Archiware_Partner_Map.pdf
At this year’s show, Archiware presents version 5.3 of the P5 Software Suite, now running on Mac, Windows, Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD and including ZFS Snapshot capability.
The most important new release this autumn, however, is the new P5 Archive App. This add-on radically simplifies the Archiving process by allowing users to archive and restore files directly from Finder via the right-click context menu, without the need to open P5 Archive itself. Metadata can be added when archiving. All jobs are listed in a monitoring window for verification. Archived files and folders are represented by a link which displays metadata and previews on double-click.
Final Cut Pro X projects are archived and restored including all media used in the project.
The P5 Archive App will be available for Mac initially, with more platforms to follow in the future.
On the Archiware booth 7.G03 in Hall 7, visitors will also be able to see ArchiveAssistant, the P5 add-on for restoring files from EDL and XML files, and the CP Archive App, the integration tool for P5 and Cantemo Portal.
Another highlight at IBC will be the joint setup with Sonnet Technologies on neighboring stand 7.G02:
An optical thunderbolt cable connects a Mac Pro - running Archiware P5 Archive in Sonnet’s RackMac Pro rack enclosure - to a Sonnet Echo 15+ Thunderbolt 2 Dock on the Archiware booth, showing how Archiving can be done from any workstation (Echo 15+ Dock, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse) while the Mac Pro and LTO Tape drive are housed safely in a server room up to 60 meters away.
