In this months's newsletter, we're focusing on storage: 
The new Archiware Storage Calculator helps you get an idea of cloud vs. tape storage costs for Backup and Archive, Mat X. explains how to install P5 on a LumaForge Jellyfish shared storage and we help you choose the right LTO generation with our infographic. 
We also present the FCP X documentary Off The Tracks, plus a collection of interesting reading material and upcoming events.

Introducing the Archiware Storage Calculator 

Choosing the best medium for your Backup or Archive isn't easy. There are a lot of points to consider: amount of data, capacity, speed, and - very importantly - the cost involved for buying or renting the required storage space. To help you get an idea of all the factors that need considering, we have created the
Archiware Storage Calculator.
Simply download the spreadsheet from our website, fill in the anticipated volume of data and get estimated pricing for tape and cloud storage as well as upload/download times. The spreadsheet includes tabs for Backup and Archive in three currencies.

Choose the Right LTO Tape Generation

Which criteria should you consider when selecting an LTO tape? How do different tape generations compare? To simplify your decision, we have prepared an infographic with all the important characteristics of LTO-6, LTO-7 and LTO-8. Learn more with our helpful guidelines!

Off The Tracks - FCP X documentary

Archiware is a proud sponsor of "Off The Tracks", an insightful documentary on Final Cut Pro X and its impact on the M&E industry:

"In 2011, Apple ended Final Cut Pro as we knew it and started over with a brand new video editing application: Final Cut Pro X. The disruption from this change is still being felt by the film, television, and video industries to this day. With misinformation running amok, Off The Tracks aims to clear the air once and for all. This documentary features exclusive interviews with the creative professionals who use the software and the developers who created it."

The movie premiers at the LACPUG Meet in Hollywood on June 27th. For more information, visit the Off The Tracks website.
