Spectra Logic has launched Rio Media Migration Services, a comprehensive professional service offering designed to seamlessly transition digital media assets from outdated media asset management systems to modern object-based archive infrastructures.

As media companies increasingly face the need to upgrade their infrastructures, Rio Media Migration Services provides an essential solution, eliminating expensive maintenance costs associated with legacy systems. This service allows organizations to maintain uninterrupted access to their content while reducing the risks commonly associated with data migration, such as workflow disruption, misplaced or lost assets, or a lack of skilled resources.

Proven Seven-Step Process:

Rio Media Migration Services delivers a seamless, fully automated migration experience built upon a proven seven-step process that ensures the success of each migration:

• Database Analysis: Identify all databases and assets for comprehensive migration coverage.

• Solution Design: Develop a tailored migration strategy based on the customer infrastructure and requirements.

• Project Scoping: Estimate the project timeline, resources, and budget, ensuring clear expectations and goals.

• Statement of Work: Finalize the project details with a formal statement of work.

• Installation & Validation: Install the necessary tools and validate system readiness for migration.

• Production: Seamlessly migrate data with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

• Post-Migration Review: Conduct post-migration data integrity checks and wellness reviews to confirm successful completion.

Designed for media and video editors, producers, and system administrators looking to modernize their infrastructure, Rio Media Migration Services is ideally suited for studios, post-production houses, sports teams, news and cable networks, and corporate media departments.

Assets managed by legacy systems such as DIVA, Kumulate, and FlashNet can be migrated to a variety of Spectra® BlackPearl® object-based archive solutions or third-party storage systems, ensuring that organizations can avoid vendor lock-in and choose the best solution for their needs.

The service delivery leverages a set of purpose-built tools that integrate directly with Spectra RioBroker® software, a powerful data migration and management solution, ensuring fast and efficient transitions that streamline media production workflows. The Spectra Logic professional services team manages every aspect of the migration, from project planning and installation to production and support, guaranteeing predictable results within budget and on schedule.

"As media organizations are forced to move away from legacy systems, they need reliable solutions that can modernize their workflows without compromising efficiency," said Hossein ZiaShakeri, senior vice president of business development and strategic alliances at Spectra Logic. "Rio Media Migration Services are designed to meet that need, offering a seamless and secure migration process that minimizes operational disruption while preparing our customers for the future."
