Brazilian broadcaster Rede Evangelizar has upgraded its media infrastructure by implementing a comprehensive solution from EditShare. The enhancements include increased storage capacity, advanced asset management, and the transition of its archive from LTO tapes to the cloud.
New System Integrates Storage, Control, and Cloud Sync
The upgrade, designed and executed by CIS Group, incorporates a FLOW Ingest server, EFS online storage, and FLOW asset management tools. These additions aim to boost operational performance and facilitate greater access for users.
Cloud Migration Offers Cost Savings and Efficiency
Rede Evangelizar is migrating its archive to AWS cloud using EditShare’s FLEX Cloud Sync software applications. This move promises lifecycle cost savings and more efficient operations, according to Renan Borges, post production coordinator at Rede Evangelizar.
“We had found our original EditShare installation to be a very powerful tool for us,” Borges stated. “As our productions grew in size and complexity, we needed to boost our operational performance and allow more users access to our content.”
Partnership Ensures Technical Support and Scalability
Bacho, Chief Revenue Officer at EditShare, noted that CIS Group provided a comprehensive package including long-term licensing and support. This arrangement allowed Rede Evangelizar to achieve the operational streamlining it sought.
“CIS Group was able to put together a very attractive package,” Bacho said. “It meant we could deliver all the functionality Rede Evangelizar needed, at the right price point.”
Alberto Santana, Territory Account Manager at CIS Group, emphasized the trust built through this partnership. “With the upgrade of Rede Evangelizar's system to the new EditShare FLOW tools, we will optimize the end-to-end workflow, offer greater productivity and efficiency, and also guarantee greater production quality,” he added.
System Rollout Scheduled for Early 2023
The extensions to Rede Evangelizar’s EditShare architecture are being installed at the end of 2022, with the new system expected to go live in the first quarter of 2023. This upgrade is part of a larger strategy to enhance the broadcaster's capabilities and adapt to growing production demands.
