CET Universe to Use Tandberg Data LTO-4 and LTO-5 Drives with CET’s Constellation VCM™-Based Tapeless Workflow Products

Westminster, Colo., and Studio City, CA (April 11, 2011): Tandberg Data, the global supplier of data protection solutions, today announced that it has reached an agreement with CET Universe, a leading provider of services, systems and solutions for professional audio and video production, to be the exclusive provider of internal tape drives for CET’s products that use the Constellation VCM™ asset and storage management system.

Tandberg Data has certified CET’s Constellation system for use with all Tandberg Data LTO library products. Tandberg Data will also provide its reseller network for CET’s products that use Tandberg Data drives.

“The growth of tapeless workflow in the production community has created insatiable storage demands that require the most robust products, with diversity of information backup, and we have a strong partner in Tandberg Data to help us further our goals in the media & entertainment industry,” said Steve Klein, CEO of CET Universe. “Our clients have recognized the value of our best practices for on-set workflow, and we are improving our hardware-based solutions with products from firms such as Tandberg Data.”

CET will certify exclusive use for all Tandberg Data LTO-4 and LTO-5 single internal drives that will be integrated into CET’s Andromeda Server, Fusion Drive, and Archive Station products. The Andromeda Server is a media asset management server appliance, with a plug-and-play system. Fusion Drive combines four removable hard drives and both LTO-4 and LTO-5 drives in a single interface that can run off a laptop. Archive Station is an on-set/near-set video capture system for file-based workflow.

“The media & entertainment industry continues to be a focus for Tandberg Data, as high-resolution video, and computer-generated imagery requires larger storage designs,” said Scott Petersen, senior vice president of U.S. sales for Tandberg Data. “CET Universe has developed a leading position in the next-geration of media asset management for this market, as well as others, and we believe that the strength of our respective products, and customer service teams, will provide great value to users who require the highest levels of storage.”
