UNLV selects FlashNet archive underlining SGL's commitment to education sector

Cincinnati, USA - 24th November 2010 - Software Generation Ltd (SGL), a leading provider of content archive and storage management software for media and entertainment, is today highlighting its strong commitment to the education sector with the sale of a FlashNet archive to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The archive installed by SGL was sold through systems integrator AZCAR.

UNLV's Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies vast facility houses a state-of-the-art production and media broadcast centre. KUNV, UNLV's radio station, recently celebrated its 25th year on the air and is the only full-power FM station in the valley with a traditional jazz format. UNLV TV, in its 16th year, showcases UNLV faculty, programs and events.

The SGL archive, under the control of an Avid Interplay system, is used by UNLV's media editors and managers to archive and restore projects between its online Avid ISIS storage array and nearline network attached storage (NAS). The SGL archive allows editors to manage assets from within the Avid Media Composer and Avid Interplay Access systems and negates the requirement of dedicated IT staff to perform archive and restore operations, thereby reducing costs and improving the workflow.

Michael Piper, UNLV's Media Network Engineer explains, "We recently moved to a new facility and the technical infrastructure designed and installed with the help of AZCAR is impressive. we chose the SGL archive because of its close relationship with the Avid Interplay system and its Open System architecture."

Mickey Charles, SGL's President, Americas, adds, "The education sector is an important market for SGL and we are delighted to announce this sale to UNLV. This installation is an excellent reference for universities across the country boasting a fully operational digital pipeline that reduces costs, enhances creativity and simplifies workflow."
