With Starchive, Seagate customers will have even more visibility and control of vast media libraries.
Starchive, an AI-driven digital asset management platform tailored for the creative sector, has announced a strategic collaboration with Seagate Lyve Cloud Object Storage. This partnership integrates Starchive’s AI-powered tools into Seagate’s cloud storage services, enabling customers to efficiently discover, preserve, transform and monetise digital media assets across industries such as media, music, sports and entertainment.
With this collaboration, Starchive’s advanced tools will be fully integrated into Seagate’s Lyve Cloud, offering content creators the same robust capabilities but at a greater scale. The joint solution aims to meet the needs of modern media companies and brands by enhancing Seagate’s M&E (media and entertainment) services and delivering superior functionality to customers.
Seagate selected Starchive due to its proven track record of empowering numerous clients in the media and entertainment space, including high-profile names like Bob Dylan, Essence Magazine, The MET and HGTV’s Property Brothers. Starchive’s AI discovery tools have been instrumental in uncovering valuable hidden content, such as archives from iconic artists like Bob Dylan.
Peter Agelasto, Co-Founder at Starchive, said: “Combining Starchive’s advanced metadata approach and encoding capabilities with Seagate is Object Storage 2.0, a logical evolution that includes enhanced management, enriched search, and access control layers, making it easier than ever to understand and utilise your stored content. Collaborating with Seagate allows us to innovate with a world leader to further enhance our users’ experience by providing seamless access to their content and enabling new ways to manage and monetize their archives.”
Melyssa Banda, VP of enterprise systems and solutions at Seagate, added: “Seagate Lyve Cloud Object Storage is committed to delivering the best solutions available, and our collaboration with Starchive allows us to provide more powerful tools for media & entertainment as we want a tailored solution for our vertical clients. Together, we are shaping the future of content management, providing powerful tools that allow our clients to unlock the full potential of their assets.”
Through Starchive, Seagate users will gain greater visibility and control over vast media libraries. The platform seamlessly integrates with various AI tools, such as AWS Object Rekognition, allowing users flexibility in tagging, organising and managing content.
Starchive’s metadata features make it easier to find, group, and share digital assets within Seagate’s Lyve Cloud. The partnership emphasises mobility, enabling users to interact with their media from anywhere via mobile devices. Additionally, high-quality content previews and low-latency streaming are now possible, allowing users to view high-fidelity content while preserving original files.
The collaboration also enhances workflows with Starchive’s intuitive transcoding and streaming tools and Seagate’s reliable cloud infrastructure. Advanced visualisation tools further streamline the management of large datasets, transforming them into actionable insights and unlocking new revenue opportunities.
