How do you handle your data?
Handling assets across multiple storage locations, users, and groups is a challenge in an ever-growing virtual world. With the advancement in cloud, AI and ML tools enabling workflows, understanding the time and expense of getting content to and from the cloud can be challenging. Additionally, with cloud cost-attractive storage options, many companies are considering using the cloud as their new archive. Still, they need a tool to help them compare the pricing of public clouds and their cloud tiers.
The SoDA Solution
SoDA empowers the global connectivity of companies through seamless integrations that enable the movement of data between multiple storage locations, users, and groups while assigning a cost basis for these movements. In addition, soDA enables end users to search and find assets without the need of the IT department, providing additional knowledge and access to assets without the hassle of learning an entirely new system.
Analyze
Instantly compare current storage costs to alternate on-prem and cloud-based storage
Move
Quickly, securely, and automatically move data at any scale
Save
Save up to 50% with Automated Data Placement on-prem cloud storage with detailed analytics
Workflow Orchestration
SoDA integrates with industry-leading MAMs to leverage the insight and control of data movements, including duration and cost analysis, all from the MAMs user interface. In addition, SoDA enables the creation of media archives in the cloud which then can be processed by AI/ML tools.
Large Data Footprint
The costs associated with managing massive amounts of data both on-prem and in the cloud can be overwhelming. SoDA makes it simple by providing flexible and predictable cost analysis for companies to handle their assets better as they flow through the production pipeline.
Tracking by User/Group/Project
SoDA correlates data movement to each end user, group, or project, tracking costs and enabling intelligent business decisions. Associate costs of media production from ingest to delivery leveraging SoDA.
Archiving to the Cloud
SoDA is agnostic in that it can move data between various storage platforms and private and multiple public clouds. With SoDA, you can correlate data movement to each end user, group, or a project allowing for more granulated reporting and budgeting. For example, soDA can filter data by access date, project, or user and write data to every tier of storage, thus ensuring the correct data is being moved to the right tier while assigning a cost basis for these movements. Without a seamless integration, costs are less visible, leading to excessive budget overages. SoDA helps eliminate these costs through empowerment and visualization of time and costs to the end users.
Processing Assets in the Cloud
SoDA empowers cloud-based AI machine learning by intelligently brokering the movement of pertinent data, such as a lightweight proxy instead of the source asset, to the cloud processing engines reducing time and cost. In addition, search, discovery, automatic captioning and localization, safer content moderation, and new ways to monetize media to the cloud provide flexible and predictable cost analysis enabling companies to handle their media assets better as they flow through the production pipeline.
Agents
Agents With Agents, SoDA allows for multiple ingest points and end points for the automated orchestration of data movement for remote content creation and editing. In addition, soDA provides data ingest and empowers remote editing users with direct access to their content.
