This month's newsletter is packed with helpful information: Starting with a story about our most daring users One Inch Dreams, followed by a video on how to use LTFS in P5, a new NAS partner, a new case study from Brazil, a step-by-step for cloud import services and the Archiware Storage Cost Calculator, plus some interesting reading and upcoming events.

One Inch Dreams - Our most daring users

One Inch Dreams is a group of incredibly brave (and possibly slightly crazy) athletes who hold several World Records for slacklining - that's like walking on a tightrope, only it's not tight and slightly wider. They recently completed an amazing project called "Building Bridges", where they walked between two hot air balloons in Monument Valley to promote US-German relations. The result is a treasure trove of beyond-beautiful photographs and videos - all archived with Archiware P5!

How to use LTFS in P5 Archive

LTFS formatted LTO tapes are a great medium for transporting and exchanging large files, with a capacity of 12TB per tape (uncompressed) in the latest LTO generation, LTO-8. In P5 version 5.6, we added the new LTFS import/export feature requiring no additional driver or software, allowing users to easily mount, read from and write to LTFS tapes within the P5 user interface. 

To help you get started, we recently published a video tutorial on P5 and LTFS. Watch it now!

P5 now on NETGEAR ReadyNAS

Simple, inexpensive NAS boxes are widely used for storing and sharing data used in day-to-day business operations. And since it is so important to keep that data safe, Archiware P5 is now compatible with NETGEAR ReadyNAS devices, so they can serve as a P5 Client or even as the P5 Server. As of today, P5 is available for download from theNetgear Appstore. 

Speaking of NAS devices: P5 can also be installed on QNAP and Synology!

Case Study: TV Aparecida, Brazil

As a manufacturer, it is always exciting for us to see P5 working in real-live environments, especially in the creative and fast-moving M&E industry. So we are very grateful to our reseller DriveSys for preparing a new case study about
TV Aparecida, one of the largest TV stations ins Brazil. The setup also includes products from our partners ATTO and Facilis - a great recipe for success.
