Avid Nearchive

Rapid access to media over a local area network (LAN)

Avid Nearchive is a large, flexible, managed storage solution that provides seamless, rapid access to nearline media across the network. Using the Nearchive system's Web-based search tools to find the desired media, a simple drag and drop triggers a background transfer to your Avid Unity online workspace for immediate use. Nearchive gives you an inexpensive, centralized location for permanent storage of shared libraries, frequently used stock-shots or sound effects; a common repository for handoffs between departments; easy-to-access short-term storage for works in progress or active-but delayed-customer material; or, just an inexpensive way to add more storage.
