Description of an integrated solution for the management and migration of heterogeneous data (HSM - Hierarchical Storage Management), by presenting an innovative software/hardware architecture, specifically developed for the digital archiving of audiovisual mass content; i-DHSM—Dynamic Hierarchical Storage Management - is a highly scalable and configurable solution for a wide range of applications, as it provides full performances on both SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessor) and “Cluster systems.” — Easily managing audiovisual files and moving clips over high-speed connections to high-performance devices is what today Broadcasters, DOT com companies and TLC operators most recommend and request whenever they plan to set up a digital archive. — Audio/video clips for large digital storage nevertheless require specific management of ingestion and migration procedures when moving files from server to backup devices (i.e. automated tape libraries, etc.) and vice versa, no matter which quality or application is required (Media Asset Management and Archive Management, for example).
