Mediaflux®
Multi‑Site

A Single Global
Namespace for Data

Global content production teams face challenges accessing shared data in real-time, impacting collaboration and productivity. Arcitecta’s Mediaflux Multi-Site addresses these issues with a global namespace that provides seamless, low-latency access to data, no matter the location. This is ideal for companies like visual effects studios, enabling smooth, "follow the sun" workflows across time zones and locations.

Single View Of All Your Data

Mediaflux Multi-Site offers a robust solution for managing large datasets across multiple locations. It creates a unified view of data through a global namespace and features an efficient, scalable database for easy integration. Mediaflux also provides strong security controls for data visibility and access. Mediaflux simplifies data management, metadata curation, and global data movement, boosting collaboration and speeding up project completion.

Global File System (GFS)

A global file system uses a central metadata server and local edge nodes at each site. These nodes present a local file system with access to data from all sites, caching locally for faster I/O. It ensures consistent, authorised access across locations, transparently retrieving and caching files from other sites when needed.

Federated File System (FFS)

A federated file system connects distant locations, like Sydney and London, using asynchronous data and metadata transmission. Leveraging metadata, despite the distance, each site can see data in near real-time (within hundreds of milliseconds). This setup is ideal for scenarios where files are created at one site and accessed or processed at another.
