Perifery, a division of DataCore with 25 years of experience in the content delivery and archive market, has introduced new content archive, preservation and delivery products at the NAB 2023.
The company's premier product, Swarm Software, is software-only installed on customer hardware, allowing them to build large or small archives that are S3 and cloud-based style.
Perifery also recently acquired Object Matrix, which built an appliance product for content archive and content preservation.
For 2023, Perifery is showcasing a transportable product called Perifery Transporter, which is shipped in a flight case and provides over 100 terabytes of encrypted storage and processing solutions. With built-in applications such as BB asset managers and archive tools, Perifery Transporter supports Perifery's new product, AI Plus, which allows AI-style apps and services to be brought down to the edge and remote locations.
"The hardware key of Perifery Transporter provides secure encryption for the data stored; once you take the encryption key out, no one can read the storage," said Alex Grossman, Perifery's Vice President of Marketing.
"What's interesting about it is that it has built-in applications, and it also supports the new product that we introduced here, and which we will be shipping later in the year — called AI Plus, it allows you to take AI-style apps services that you find usually in the cloud and bringing them down to the edge, remote or anywhere using the Perifery transport, the same, we're using both, so they go hand in hand."
Perifery Transporter has many applications, such as closed captioning and object recognition. For instance, it can recognise sponsorship or anything that cannot be shown, and tag those scenes in the MAM or directly into the system.
The Perifery Transporter is transportable and can be taken on-set or use remotely. "That's really cool, isn't it?" chuckled Grossman.
Indeed, Perifery's products garnered much interest at NAB 2023 as the content delivery and archive market becomes increasingly important in the entertainment industry.
The company's products are flexible, secure and easy to use, providing content creators with a reliable and efficient way to store and preserve their valuable content, Grossman added.
