Periphery Buys Pixitmedia to Enhance AI-Driven Media Dissemination
Perifery, a division of DataCore, has announced the acquisition of Pixitmedia, a leading provider of high-performance storage and data management systems. This strategic move is set to significantly enhance Perifery's integrated capabilities in the Media and Entertainment (M&E) market, offering advanced solutions for media workflows and content management [1][2].
The acquisition of Pixitmedia complements Perifery's existing portfolio, which includes solutions from Caringo, Object Matrix, and Workflow Intelligence. Together, these acquisitions provide a comprehensive suite of services that streamline media production processes, improve storage efficiency, and optimize content delivery across complex media environments [1].
Ben Lever, Co-founder and Business Line Leader of Pixitmedia, states that the integration of Pixitmedia's expertise with Perifery's object-based media archival solutions redefines media workflows [2]. This integration allows Perifery to deliver end-to-end media infrastructure solutions that support demanding workflows in broadcasting, post-production, and content monetization.
One of the key benefits of this acquisition is the enhancement of Perifery's Tier 0/Tier 1 File Storage. It is now powered by Pixitmedia's high-performance file system, Pixstor. Moreover, Perifery's product suite now includes AI & ingest capabilities through Perifery AI+ [1].
Pixitmedia's data management platform is designed for distributed workloads, enabling simultaneous editing, secured content sharing, and access to files across global locations [2]. The nearline archive capabilities of Perifery have been strengthened by Object Matrix's expertise, while the AI & ingest capabilities are enabled through the acquisition of WIN [2].
Dave Zabrowski, Chief Executive Officer of DataCore, stated that the acquisition of Pixitmedia continues Perifery's competitive growth strategy in Media and Entertainment [2]. He explained that this move enables unparalleled value to customers in media and entertainment, providing innovative, end-to-end workflow solutions [2].
The acquisition marks a significant milestone for the media and entertainment technology industry, according to Andy Darcy, CTO of Advanced Systems Group LLC [1]. He added that the acquisition enhances Perifery's product offerings, providing even more innovative solutions to address the industry's evolving demands [1].
Notable Pixitmedia customers include Molinare, Envy Post Production, and Fox Sports, among others [2]. Perifery already counts BBC Studioworks and NBCUniversal among its most prominent M&E clients [2].
In conclusion, the acquisition of Pixitmedia positions Perifery as a leading provider of scalable, intelligent storage and workflow orchestration solutions tailored for the evolving demands of the media and entertainment industry. With its advanced capabilities, Perifery is poised to revolutionize media workflows, improve operational efficiencies, and provide innovative solutions for media companies [1][2].
