SpycerNode product buyers will be able to access comprehensive support and service level agreements (SLAs) from Rohde & Schwarz, as well as complementary solutions from Global Distribution.
Rohde & Schwarz has formed an agreement with Global Distribution Group, recognised as one of the most trusted solution providers for the media and entertainment industry. Global Distribution, based in Cambridge UK, is active across Europe with offices in the EU, as well as India, and Los Angeles, USA.
The distribution agreement focuses on Rohde & Schwarz’s SpycerNode storage platform. This scalable solution builds on next-generation HPC (high-performance computing) technologies to provide power and flexibility for shared media storage. At NAB 2023, Rohde & Schwarz launched SpycerNode2, the latest version of the platform incorporating even greater redundancy and resilience, with erasure coding, ease of management, and high-performance caching utilising NVMe technology to provide better performance.
With the partnership agreement, buyers of SpycerNode products will have access to comprehensive support and SLAs, including expert advice from Rohde & Schwarz, and complementary solutions from Global Distribution.
Commenting on the deal, Keith Warburton, Founder and CEO at Global Distribution, said: “SpycerNode and SpycerNode2, together with its integrated production asset management platform SpycerPAM, are technically advanced, functionality complete media management tools. We are very excited by the opportunity to bring the potential of Rohde & Schwarz storage platforms to our broad range of customers across Europe and beyond.”
Xavier Levasseur, Sales Director Media Europe at Rohde & Schwarz, added: “Global Distribution is a well-established, long-standing player in the media technology market. Our partnership with them will help increase our presence and allow a wide range of post-production and broadcast facilities to benefit from our uniquely powerful SpycerNode storage solution.”
