Tapping into unparalleled expertise in digital processing, management and systems integration, the ADAM Systems team has designed solutions to receive, store, search, retrieve, exploit, distribute, protect and preserve your valuable digital assets. Our systems provide unsurpassed FLEXIBILITY, SCALABILITY, SECURITY, and DATA INTEGRITY.

FLEXIBILITY:

ADAM Systems combines the best available third-party hardware and software with our own unique software functionality in a modular solution. The extensible design incorporates a wide variety of data formats, and you can add new formats at any time without having to upgrade the system software. ADAM Systems also incorporate Unicode so you can choose character sets from several different languages. And, the system's flexible tools allow easy dissemination of your digital media to your targeted output devices. Throughout the system, customizable web-based HTML affords design freedom for your graphical user interface.

Several baseline ADAM Systems configurations provide a starting point for customization. Our expert configuration team then carefully tailors each solution to your precise needs for ingest rate, storage capacity, retrieval speed, simultaneous networked users and any software tools to be integrated at the client end.

SCALABILITY:

Whether your needs are small or large, ADAM Systems are completely scalable - from small systems with 20 gigabytes of centralized online cache to virtual repositories that handle thousands of terabytes (petabytes) of imagery, video, voice and data. Massive scalability is not just theoretical; ADAM Systems have been proven under the most demanding environments, receiving and processing terabytes a day, and managing petabytes of digital rich media and millions of high resolutions files.

In our larger installations, a sophisticated hierarchical archiving scheme moves data rapidly and automatically between online disk, tape jukebox and shelf storage. Whether you demand access to your files in seconds or minutes -- you only pay for the system performance you need.

SECURITY:

Digital assets deserve and demand the best protection. To address this, ADAM Systems incorporates a customer-driven multi-level security scheme. For example, users’ access privileges can be fine-tuned to differentiate by content source or owner, content resolution, viewing vs. editing privileges, or whatever suits the customer’s needs. Furthermore, all transactions are logged. Every file retrieval or distribution is recorded, so you always know who did what when.

DATA INTEGRITY:

ADAM Systems incorporate proven technology to protect the integrity of content over time, so that years down stream its quality will be intact. ADAM Systems preserve the bits and bytes of digital rich media through automated backup and monitoring. When tape is employed, the system monitors both the utilization and age of tape media, including those stored on physical shelves. Asset preservation directives are automated to avoid potential human error or omission. Coupled with the open architecture to accept future storage technologies and formats, this results in an unlimited life span for the system and its content.
