To quickly build and deploy a digital asset management system, Sun and Artesia Technologies offer The Digital Asset Management (DAM) Reference Architecture with features such as the ability to index, catalog, store, search, retrieve and securely distribute content in a wide variety of digital formats.

The solution consists of the Artesia TEAMS Digital Asset Management Application, Sun StorEdgeTM storage systems and tape libraries and Sun Professional ServicesSM. It runs on the SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS). The solution can be easily integrated with existing IT and content computing environments and valuable archives.

Artesia's TEAMS enables organizations to capture, manage and dynamically re-purpose valuable rich-media assets such as video, audio, images, graphics and text. TEAMS is integrated with Sun StorEdgeTM SAM-FS software and Sun StorEdgeTM QFS software for a highly scalable data management infrastructure. Other file systems limit the file size or number of files that can be stored. The file sharing aspect of Sun StorEdge SAM-FS software provides fast, simultaneous access to the same digital asset by multiple servers, allowing dramatic cost savings through data consolidation.

"The unlimited scalability and high performance of Sun StorEdge SAM-FS and QFS software is extremely important for integration with our TEAMS application. It allows us to offer the industry's only digital asset management solution with the enterprise scalability needed in large-scale environments," said John Fitzgerald, Partner Technologist, Artesia Technologies.

The TEAMS application integrates and promotes reuse to other asset-intensive applications such as Web content management, digital rights management, customer relationship management, syndication, e-learning and more.

"Sun has been an ideal partner for Artesia Technologies," said Fitzgerald. "Their support for open standards and APIs, allowed us to quickly integrate the TEAMS application with Sun StorEdge SAM-FS and QFS software. The expertise of the Sun staff and their work on developing the custom ONO bean interface code has also been a key factor in our success." [...read more...]
