THE PROBLEM

Editors see the tip. Storage holds the rest.

Camera originals, renders, and proxies pile up, show after show. Game studios add art sources and nightly builds, release after release. Sports teams add every camera angle of every game, season after season. Finished projects stay on fast storage because nobody can say for sure what is safe to move. In one Diskover media customer index, 88% of 870 TB was cold: older than 6 months.

HOW IT WORKS

From scattered files to clear action.

01

CONNECT

Point Diskover at NAS, SAN, object, cloud, tape libraries, and archive systems. Indexing runs in place, so media stays on the production network, in its original location.

Global visibility

02

CATALOG

Every file becomes a searchable record with rich metadata, such as name, path, owner, and dates, enriched by plugins with codec, resolution, timecode, production status, and job number.

Metadata catalog

03

ORGANIZE

Tag by show, episode, season, game, build, version, status, and rights. Build saved searches for approved cuts, orphaned renders, or masters past delivery still on the hot tier.

Data intelligence

04

ACTIVATE

Run tiering, restore, and cleanup by policy with a full audit trail, and deliver catalog data to the MAM, Snowflake, or analytics tools through the API.

WHO FEELS IT

Three teams. Three different pains.

PRODUCTION • EDITORIAL

“Where is the final version?”

  • Versions hide across shares, drives, and LTO.
  • Proxies, renders, and masters sit side by side.
  • No single view of a show.

With Diskover: find every version of a show, on every share, drive, and LTO tape, in one search.

IT • MEDIA INFRASTRUCTURE

“Can finished shows leave fast storage?”

  • Fast storage is full of finished shows.
  • Renders, caches, and game builds pile up after every project.
  • Partner deliveries arrive and stay.

With Diskover: see which finished shows, renders, and builds can move, and move them by policy.

CONTENT • RIGHTS • ARCHIVE

“What do we have, and where is it?”

  • Rights and delivery dates live in other systems.
  • Archive decisions rely on memory.
  • Finding a past show or game can take days.

With Diskover: one catalog of every show and season, tagged by rights and delivery date.

WHY IT MATTERS

Make every petabyte earn its place.

Enterprise SSD contract prices rose about 80% in Q1 2026 alone, according to TrendForce. Finished shows on fast storage cost more every quarter. With context on every file, teams put a cost on storage, move finished work to the right tier, and turn the archive into an asset.

Explore data intelligence

Free up fast storage.

Finished shows move to lower tiers by policy, so fast storage holds only active work.
Data tiering

Cost every show.

See storage cost by show, game, studio, or client, so finance knows what each project really costs.
Chargeback

Reuse the library.

Past shows and seasons stay searchable by show, season, or rights, so archive content can be found, licensed, and earn again.
One catalog

Deliver on time.

Teams find the final version without a day of searching, even when it sits on LTO.

AI READINESS

Prepare media assets for AI before they reach a model.

Explore AI-ready data

01

TAG

Rules tag approved takes, final versions, and cleared assets as they are indexed. Production status shows what is final.

02

CURATE

Select footage and assets by project, format, resolution, or codec. MediaInfo and Xytech Media add the details you filter on.

03

GOVERN

Tag unreleased and rights-restricted content so rules leave it out of the training set. Every dataset keeps an audit trail.

04

DELIVER

Send curated file lists to your AI tools as Parquet, or copy the footage to where the model runs, by policy.
