ERA showcases efficient workflow solutions at BVE North 2011
Stand 108, BVE North, Manchester Central Arena, 16-17 November

London, Manchester – 24 October 2011: ERA Ltd, a leading IT infrastructure and application reseller specialising in Post Production, Broadcast and Media, will be showcasing the latest WARP storage platform and its new multi-client workflow automation solution at BVE North, Manchester Central Arena, 16th and 17th November (Stand 108).

WARP from CandIT Media is a consolidated, resilient, easy-to-manage storage platform that can scale performance and capacity linearly and rapidly adapt to any change in your workflow.  Combining storage, tape, network and server technologies into a single integrated scale-out platform, WARP offers the benefits of streaming performance for all file-based media assets, application virtualization and an open platform framework that eliminates hardware vendor lock-in.  At BVE North, ERA will demonstrate workflows with FilmPartners’ MXFServer and Adobe on WARP – configurations successfully deployed by customers in recent projects in the region.

In addition, ERA will preview ERA MediaFlow, the company’s new multi-client workflow automation appliance. ERA MediaFlow is an enterprise-class solution that allows broadcasters and post-production companies to effectively control media assets, projects and resources, both technical and human – all through a single platform. Resilient, reliable, scalable and feature-rich, ERA MediaFlow helps identify and eliminate bottlenecks in even the most complex workflow.  It provides a web-based interface to let users access their content, invoke workflows and interact with clients in reviews and approvals from wherever they are.

“Our clients face the daily challenge of delivering more for less – both in terms of time and money, says Sean Baker, ERA Technical Director. “In addition, they must adapt their workflows and processes to support the file-based operations and demands of their own customers. ERA is focused on delivering innovative and reliable technical solutions that enable businesses to harness IT, video and file-based workflows and gain real-time strategic advantage.  We are excited to preview ERA MediaFlow at BVE North and demonstrate how it will enable media companies to handle more jobs, more effectively, more quickly and with less error – freeing up valuable creative resources to do what they do best.”

ERA is partnered with many industry-leading brands worldwide to provide leading solutions and with offices in Soho and new premises opening soon in MediaCityUK Manchester, ERA is well placed to provide support to both new and existing customers throughout the UK.
