The media-focused object storage platform with built-in security, analytics, and intuitive interfaces provides future-proof access to your content from anywhere.
Object Matrix is a media-focused on-prem object storage platform that benefits organizations, financially and operationally, by modernizing video workflows and providing instant access to all media assets.
Built on mature, feature-rich, and future-proof object-based storage technology, Object Matrix delivers operational efficiencies, full digital content governance, and multiple media-based workflows, providing secure access to all archive content from anywhere.
The design meets security, performance, collaboration, and accessibility challenges faced by many organizations creating, ingesting, logging, editing, sharing, distributing, and archiving large volumes of video content.
Deployed in-house or at your organization’s data centers, Object Matrix ensures creative professionals have the fastest, most secure access to content using the tools and applications they are familiar with.
You can implement it as a stand-alone or as a part of a unified storage platform by synchronizing across multiple geographies for business continuity or global collaboration with other Object Matrix installations or cloud services.
”Object Matrix has a long association and solid standing with the media industry.
I would describe Object Matrix as a ‘media-aware’ service with the ability to attach and search metadata associated with media objects. We have seen a complete transformation of our archive and our ability to monetize our asset library.”
Ian Auger

“With a huge amount of content being housed in our storage system, we are looking for a cost-effective way to do this whilst keeping the high level of functionality, security and elasticity of object storage. We have been really impressed with Object Matrix, which addressed our needs technically and commercially, by being secure and intuitive whilst being extremely easy to migrate existing content onto. The other big benefit was having local support which was key to our decision making. Object Matrix applications enable us to quickly search and reuse out content, and now that we have the future-proof platform our business can grow with, we can start to introduce further workflows that include implementing disaster recovery.”
