Goodbye, Amsterdam! Following an exciting week at the IBC Show 2022, we are back in Munich and are already looking forward to next year. This year, our main topics included the upcoming release of Archiware P5, which features the P5 Data Mover - a new extension of the P5 Archive module.

It was also a pleasure to meet both familiar and new faces, as well as reconnecting with our valued Archiware partners. A big shout-out to our U.K. distributor, JPY for supporting us at our busy booth!

Announcing: P5 Version 7.1 Release

Exciting news! On October 4th, we will be releasing Version 7.1 of the Archiware P5 Software Platform. The major update includes:

• P5 Data Mover: an extension of the P5 Archive module, which offers policy-based moving and copying of archived data between tape, cloud and disk.
• Multi-factor authentication: provides an added layer of security.
• MHL checksum manifest of LTFS archived data: ensures that the source data has been saved and recovered without any alterations.
• UNC path support: enables easy access to network source and target storage.

Watch the Webinar - DataIntell & Archiware P5

Modern production workflows involve several categories of storage – from fast production shares through to cold archive storage on LTO. Moving files that have not been accessed in months from production to long-term archive storage increases cost-efficiency. The new integration of DataIntell and Archiware P5 Archive allows unused files to easily be identified and migrated into long-term archive storage for preservation.

In this webinar recording, David Fox (Archiware) and Olivier Rivard (DataIntell) show you how to leverage the joint integration for maximum efficiency.

When Should You Upgrade to macOS Ventura?

This coming October, Apple has announced the release of its latest macOS version, Ventura. The new version includes a variety of new features and applications. However, the bigger question is when an upgrade should be undertaken. According to our friend, Larry Jordan, the answer is: not immediately.

Especially for editors, Larry Jordan's long-standing recommendation is to wait until Apple releases at least the .1 update to any new version of macOS. This allows the company to fix bugs in the OS before updating. He adds, "For now, I’m staying with the latest version of macOS Monterey (v. 12.6) and waiting a few months, at least, for the 13.1 version of macOS Ventura. Just in case."
