Providing affordable insurance for your content, NEXIO® Content Manager is an FTP transfer application that enables mirroring of NEXIO® content to network attached storage (NAS) or to another NEXIO domain. Building on the functionality of the Mirror Streamer product by adding more features and less hardware, NEXIO Content Manager allows for a variety of content protection schemes.
Typical Uses
NEXIO Content Manager is a software solution which reduces the complexity and costs of implementing a mirrored backup system. Content is moved via standard FTP, so the backup location can be local or remote as long as there is IP-network connectivity between the storage domains. NEXIO hardware has built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used to transfer material.
Streamlining production and media management by caching material from one NEXIO domain to another, NEXIO Content Manager enables files to be moved from acquisition servers to specialized servers. NEXIO Content Manager provides increased flexibility, scalability, reliability and cost saving, while maintaining the best possible image quality throughout the production chain by transferring your content digitally.

Specifications and designs are subject to change without notice.
The NXA1000CM-SA software runs on any customer-supplied computer that meets the following minimum specifications:| NXA1000CM | NEXIO Content Manager software for managing content between 2 NEXIO SAN systems; runs on any approved NEXIO platform with built-in security device |
| NXA1000CM-SA | NEXIO Content Manager standalone software for managing content between 2 NEXIO SAN systems; includes USB security device; runs on customer-supplied computer or NEXIO hardware without a security device |
Embedded or Standalone Versions are available.
NXA1000CM is configured for use directly on NEXIO server platforms that include a USB security device internally:
NXA1000CM-SA is configured for use with a customer-supplied standalone computer or NEXIO server that does not have a security device installed. As the data path does not pass through this computer, the system does not require Gigabit Ethernet throughput.
