SGL Delivers
Efficient Archives

SGL content
management

SGL has partnered with broadcasters and systems integrators in the Middle East
for many years and is an established brand/company in the region...

S

GL's
FlashNet
content
management system is installed
and is delivering efficient broadcast
archives to leading facilities including:
AD Media, MBC, Qatar TV, Al
Baghdadia, Al Aan, Al Kass and many
others. Qatar TV in Doha, for example,
uses SGL FlashNet as a key element
of its digital workflow based around
an Avid production environment in its
state-of-the-art facility.
In 2016 SGL unveiled its new
FlashNet Infinity dashboard. Providing
broadcasters and content owners with
an elegant interface that simplifies
the management of media archives,
Infinity delivers a sophisticated toolset
for archive and restore functionality,
system health, monitoring, analysis,
and more, and is available as a free
upgrade to all SGL FlashNet users
covered by a current support contract.
FlashNet Infinity provides smaller

broadcasters that don't have a MAM
system with a set of management
tools that allow them to see what's
in the archive or stored on a certain
disk so that they can archive material
on the disk, or restore material in the
archive, viewing a low-res copy on the
FlashNet Infinity dashboard.
The launch of FlashNet Infinity
continues to validate SGL's technical
expertise. This was further recognised

FlashNet Infinity

by Avid, who last year selected SGL
as an Avid Alliance Partner and a key
technology partner. Avid certification,
which is only available to Avid Alliance
Partners, is granted to third-parties
that can prove a high technical
standard and seamless integration
within the Avid MediaCentral™
Platform. Avid and SGL have been
strongly allied for many years, and
this further highlights SGL's dedication
to providing open system architecture
that delivers a fully accessible, highquality content storage management
system.
In 2016 SGL also launched its entrylevel archive FlashNet Lite. Featuring
four configurations: FL Disk, FL Tape,
FL Hybrid and FL Optical Disk, the
new software runs on a single server
node and can grow as the customer's
archive expands. The software
includes important FlashNet tools

including: integration with a wide
range of partner solutions and storage
devices; business storage rules; and
partial file restore.
SGL also has close cooperation
with media cloud providers. The
company supports Ci, Sony's cloudbased service that allows media
professionals to collaborate on the
creation and sharing of high-quality,
high resolution content. SGL also
supports Amazon S3 via Aspera and
ExpeDat Gateway.
As well as cloud solutions, SGL is
fully integrated with Sony's Optical
Disk archive System (ODS). The
integration gives SGL users access to
a greater choice of storage devices
in DR, production, news and sports
workflows. SGL FlashNet allows Sony's
ODS's users to store valuable media
safely with ease.
