The Museum of Television & Radio and Nexsan Technologies Partner on Digital Media Initiative

New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA - The Museum of Television & Radio and Nexsan Technologies announced today the initiation of a program to utilize Nexsan's InfiniSANT ATAboy2T data storage systems at the Museum, continuing the Museum's initiative to integrate digital technologies into its daily operations.

The ATAboy 2 systems will be used to further implement the Museum's long-term goal of converting its current analog platform to digital. This initiative includes the transfer of programs in the collection to a digital format, with digital storage allowing for easier public access as well as more secure long-term storage protection.

The Museum has a collection of more than 110,000 television and radio programs and advertisements covering more than seventy-five years of television and radio history, featuring news, public affairs, arts, sports, comedy, and variety programs, as well as commercial advertising. The Museum also has more than 1000 videotaped seminars conducted at the Museum since 1981. These seminars bring together performers, writers, producers, executives, directors, critics, and journalists for dialogues that give the general public an insight into the media's creative processes and its role in history and society.

Nexsan's correct cost InfiniSAN Ataboy 2 storage systems provide enterprise-level features and performance, with capacity reaching multi-terabytes in a compact 3u rack mount unit. Data is protected through utilizing redundancy, advanced ATA disk drives and the latest in RAID technology, along with event-based, real time D2D backup.

"The advancements in digital technology present the Museum with a wide new range of possibilities to protect the collection for future generations. Nexsan's ATAboy systems will play an important role in allowing us to continue ensuring the preservation of the Museum's collection," said Robert M. Batscha, president of The Museum of Television & Radio.

"The Museum of Television and Radio collection represents many of the finest moments in the history of recorded media. The conservation and protection of these irreplaceable programs is of significant importance to not only the broadcast industry, but to our culture as a whole", said Diamond Lauffin, Nexsan's senior executive vice president. "We are honored to supply the Museum with a digital storage platform for protecting and making their collection more readily accessible to the public in the years to come."

The Museum of Television & Radio, with locations in New York and Los Angeles, is a nonprofit organization founded by William S. Paley to collect and preserve television and radio programs and advertisements and to make them available to the public. From its inception in 1975, the Museum has organized exhibitions, screening and listening series, seminars, and education classes to showcase its collection of over 110,000 television and radio programs and advertisements. Programs in the Museum's permanent collection are selected for their artistic, cultural, and historic significance. The Museum has initiated a process to begin acquiring Internet programming for the collection.
