Technical Details
System Compatability
A BlackPearl must be configured and available for network communications with Mediaflux. Spectra Logic BlackPearl v.5.0 or later is required. Mediaflux v.4.8.001 or later, configured with the BlackPearl plugin content store is required.
Mediaflux Hardware Requirements
Deployments for a few users can be supported by a laptop or desktop computer. Workgroup deployments typically require a small server with a few processing cores and at least 4GB of available RAM.
Systems can be deployed in multi-node clusters to scale performance and I/O. In addition, systems can be distributed geographically for global deployments in federated or replicated implementations.

Arcitecta specializes in data management systems for large-scale distributed data. Its core product, Mediaflux™, is a flexible data + metadata management solution that virtualizes otherwise incompatible data stovepipes into a secure distributed collaboration environment.
Mediaflux is designed to start small with limited use cases and easily scale to support hundreds of billions of assets and exabyte-scale data volumes. Mediaflux automatically indexes metadata and data of all types from any source or on any storage system to provide true global access, discovery, and rapid tasking.
Since data typically lasts far longer than any hardware infrastructure or application, Mediaflux provides investment protection over the long term. This is done by non-disruptively virtualizing different storage technologies into a common management framework. In this way, existing data and infrastructures can co-exist with new technology and use cases to future-proof access to the data without impacting current operations or replacing legacy systems.
As a distributed data and metadata management solution, Mediaflux contains powerful multi-site data federation and replication capabilities to optimize storage utilization and rapidly adapt to changing use cases, applications, and security requirements. In this way, Mediaflux overcomes data stovepipes and enables users to focus on extracting value from the data rather than wasting time finding it.
