The addition of cloud-based management to Netia’s Radio-Assist radio audio software suite enables access to the system database from any network-connected workstation.

Targetted primarily at multi-site radio broadcasters, this new capability enables authorised users to access, retrieve, and work on the same content from remote locations, without the need for media transfers. In addition to enabling faster, more productive operation, cloud-based management enables broadcasters to reduce reliance on server infrastructures and, in turn, lower the total cost of ownership.

By storing content in the cloud, Radio-Assist can serve as an online production database or as an online content archive. Radio-Assist archiving tools enable seamless management of the archive/restoration process in the cloud. Users can trigger the archiving process as a background task and subsequently use search requests to retrieve content. In disaster recovery situations, the content stored in the cloud by Radio-Assist can help to ensure continuity of service when ground-based facilities are compromised.

The cloud system will receive its launch at IBC 2013.
