Independent of whom and what for?
Carrick-Flow claims its independence:
But independence is not an end in itself. It creates value only if it brings real freedom!
Freedom:
Carrick-Flow offers you that freedom!
Hard to believe? Let's talk about it!
Creating synergies
Do you host heterogeneous dedicated equipment such as several transcoding farms with different brands or version? Carrick-Flow allows pooling and sharing so you can gradually eliminate the silos. Processing more with less resources is one of the key objectives of Carrick-Flow!
Fine management of priorities
Mutualizing resources is a worthy goal provided that each user can be guaranteed the resources he needs to manage his emergencies. Carrick-Flow is equipped with a priority engine able to ensure that at all times a launched task is the one with highest priority.
Splitting into elementary tasks
For a system to be fluid, the elementary components must be small. Carrick-Flow ensures that the biggest tasks break down into a maximum of small and prioritized tasks.
Strong integration capacity
To share ressources, you have to adapt to all the players. Carrick-Flow exposes open interfaces at all levels so that each tool can be interfaced at the best level regarding its operationnal process.
Cloud capabilities offer many opportunities and Carrick-Flow was designed for these. Managing activity peak is also one of the key functionalities.
Load shedding
A dedicated module allows the detection of future overloads based on deadlines and estimated processing times. Cloud resources can be dynamically activated and will handle some of the tasks without modifying user workflows.
Cloud ressources are then automatically disactivated once peak activity is passed.
This module provides an abstraction layer for archiving and unarchiving processes. It provides a unified repository of the storage content within the enterprise of all local and cloud storage.
As if an HSM would have become matrix, Carrick-StoR handles files securing, manage their life cycle and their integrity across multiple heterogeneous storage systems. Archiving and redundancy policies may be related to the intrinsic characteristics of the files or be linked with customer-specific editorial metadata.
Based on the processing capabilities of Carrick-Flow, it allows limitless indexing and migrating of storage while preserving the bandwidth necessary for the business to go on.
Insensitive to load
Carrick-Flow has been designed to be virtually insensitive to load peaks. Media manipulation infrastructure may not deal fast enough with everything that needs to be done, but Carrick-Flow will not be affected. It continues to store and unstack the orders, always executing the ones with most priority, without saturating the resources, without being affected by the volume to be processed...
In the event of a major infrastructure outage, Carrick-Flow resumes where it stopped, with no loss of performance due to the unusual number of tasks or workflows to relaunch.
Load balancing infinitely
All Carrick-Flow components are designed to allow easy load distribution without a single SPOF.
