Sep 13, 2025
At IBC 2025, Spectra Logic showcased major updates to its Rio Media Suite, highlighting how media organizations can better manage, archive, and retrieve growing volumes of high-resolution and immersive content. The updates focus on simplifying media workflows, automating archive processes, and improving access to both active and long-term stored assets across hybrid and cloud environments.
A key theme at the event was the growing importance of cost-effective, scalable archive infrastructure as media file sizes increase and retention requirements expand. Geyser Data was highlighted as part of this evolving ecosystem, bringing a modern Tape-as-a-Service model to long-term media storage. Geyser Data’s tape-backed cloud archive complements media asset management platforms by providing secure, air-gapped, and sustainable storage without unpredictable egress or retrieval fees.
Together, solutions like Rio Media Suite and Geyser Data’s Cold Data Cloud enable broadcasters, studios, and post-production teams to streamline operations, control storage costs, and protect valuable media assets over decades. The discussion at IBC underscored how integrated archive platforms are becoming essential to next-generation media workflows.
