Artesia Technologies, a provider of enterprise digital asset management solutions, and Storigen Systems, a provider of distributed storage networks have formed a partnership that unites Artesia TEAMS distributed repository capabilities with Storigen’s Distributed Storage Network , delivering a distributed DAM solution that enables access to digital content and facilitates collaboration, regardless of data and user location. The two companies have integrated their respective products and are jointly marketing the combined solution to existing and prospective customers.

Integrating Artesia TEAMS with Storigen’s DSN virtually eliminates geographic barriers to online collaboration. TEAMS works in conjunction with Storigen’s DSN to get the right data to the right place at the right time, all without a change in end-user behavior or software. The combined solution improves the speed and efficiency of media production and brand marketing activities by transparently enabling high-performance online access to digital assets at remote locations.

Discovery Communications Inc. has deployed the joint solution to support several key projects, providing their offices around the world with high-performance access to time-sensitive digital media files. "This partnership extends our commitment to bring best-of-breed technologies to our customers. Our combined technologies transparently extend and enhance access to Artesia TEAMS in distributed environments," said Michael Barros, VP Business Development, Artesia Technologies. "Real-world customers like Discovery are seeing tremendous benefits from the partnership -- they’re able to leverage their existing investment in TEAMS while driving costs and time out of their production cycle."

"This relationship demonstrates the power of our Distributed Storage Network to dramatically streamline key business processes that span multiple locations, whether that is implementing a worldwide marketing campaign, developing a new product, or even producing a new TV show, said Dennis Hoffman, co-founder, president and CEO, Storigen Systems.
