Minneapolis, MN—Scale Logic, a leader in high-performance media workflow and storage solutions, has announced an exciting new partnership with Meta Martis to integrate Meta8 private cloud technology into Scale Logic’s ecosystem. The collaboration will revolutionize how media professionals manage their archives by replacing outdated storage solutions, such as LTO tape, with a modern, secure, scalable private cloud infrastructure.

With Meta8, media professionals can store their archives securely and access files decades later without requiring specialized hardware or outdated tape drives.
