Bloomington, Minnesota — March 11, 2025 — Scale Logic, Inc., a leader in high-performance storage and workflow solutions for media and entertainment, is pleased to announce a new vendor partnership with SFS Media Solutions. This collaboration combines Scale Logic’s industry-leading expertise in media workflows with SFS’s cutting-edge migration and archive management solutions, SF-Migrate and SF-Archive. By joining forces, the two companies will provide media professionals with robust, integrated solutions to overcome complex storage challenges, optimize workflows, and future-proof content management strategies.
Managing media storage at scale presents significant challenges, from migrating legacy assets stored in outdated formats to ensuring seamless access across multiple storage environments. Traditional migration processes can be slow, costly, and disruptive to daily operations, while rigid archive solutions often fail to align with media organizations’ evolving needs. The partnership between Scale Logic and SFS addresses these issues head-on by delivering solutions that automate media migration, unify archive management, and ensure cost-effective, long-term storage strategies.
Through this partnership, Scale Logic customers with existing installations, such as DIVA, can seamlessly integrate SFS into their ecosystem without requiring data migration. SFS takes control of the system while preserving existing structures, eliminating the need for asset transfers. Designed to handle large-scale media transfers at the tape level, SF-Migrate ensures seamless transitions from legacy storage systems to modern environments without disrupting workflows. It supports formats like LTFS, AXF, S3, and Azure while offering rewrapping and AI-powered metadata enrichment.
In addition to migration, SF-Archive provides a scalable, flexible approach to archive management, eliminating the inefficiencies of scattered storage locations and outdated pricing models. This powerful solution consolidates all storage systems into a single, unified repository, enabling media organizations to manage near-line, disk, tape, optical, and cloud storage from one interface. With intelligent tiering and seamless integration with MAM, PAM, and NRCS systems, SF-Archive ensures that media assets remain easily accessible, cost-efficient, and future-ready.
“Our mission at Scale Logic has always been to provide media professionals with the most advanced tools to manage and optimize their storage workflows,” said Bob Herzan, President of Scale Logic. “This partnership with SFS Media Solutions enhances our ability to solve the industry’s toughest storage and migration challenges. Integrating SF-Migrate and SF-Archive into our ecosystem ensures that media organizations can transition to modern storage architectures more efficiently and confidently.”
We are excited to partner with Scale Logic, a company that shares our commitment to providing innovative and practical solutions for media storage,” Mitch Ross of SFS Media. “By combining our migration and archive expertise with Scale Logic’s robust storage infrastructure, we empower media professionals with seamless, scalable, and future-proof solutions that enhance content accessibility and operational efficiency.”
This partnership further strengthens Scale Logic’s comprehensive media storage, backup, and AI-powered content solutions ecosystem. With the addition of SFS’s powerful tools, media professionals can now benefit from an end-to-end storage management approach that includes high-performance primary storage, intelligent migration and archive solutions, and AI-enhanced media search capabilities.
Scale Logic’s flagship AI-powered media search tool, CaraOne, developed by Obvious Future, complements this partnership by streamlining how media organizations discover and retrieve content. As storage demands grow, traditional search methods can become cumbersome and inefficient. CaraOne leverages artificial intelligence to automate metadata tagging, analyze video and audio content, and deliver precise search results, significantly improving content discoverability and retrieval efficiency.
Scale Logic also offers robust backup and archive solutions, ensuring that media assets are protected, accessible, and stored cost-effectively. Whether media companies need scalable on-premises storage, hybrid cloud solutions, or advanced disaster recovery systems, Scale Logic provides tailored strategies that help organizations stay agile, reduce costs, and maximize the value of their content.
Best of all, Scale Logic provides comprehensive in-house support for all its solutions, ensuring clients have a single, accountable partner for their storage, migration, and archive needs. This end-to-end service model eliminates the complexity of managing multiple vendors, streamlining issue resolution, and ensuring seamless workflow integration.
