Onison: Brilliance in Simplicity

Digital Asset Management(DAM) is vital as today’s corporations are struggling with an ever increasing volume of digital files such as images, photographs, logos, presentations and documents.

 

The ability to manage these digital assets is becoming a time consuming and costly endeavour for most organisations, and is virtually impossible without a digital asset management system.

 

ImageDirector solves this problem by providing a simple, remotely hosted solution that requires no training or IT involvement.

 
 
In-House Solutions

onison applications can be installed as a packaged solution, as an application service or as a combination thereof, with the applications hosted with onison and file servers enabling rapid access to pre-press files. With a packaged solution, the ap­plications are directly connected to your company network infrastructure. File servers are connected to the application service as well as to your network infrastructure.

 

Companies choosing to use packaged solutions receive the identical care as those choosing to use onison's appli­cation services. Your organisation will never have to purchase any upgrades. onison will remotely update your software to the latest version available. A packaged solution is recom­mended where complex integration into an existing infra­structure is necessary or where you run the application as part your business offerings such as ISPs or other ASPs that run our applications as services off of their servers.

 

In order to operate a high performance packaged media asset management solution that communicates to your affiliates over the Internet, your organisation must be able to meet large bandwidth requirements and must be prepared to significantly invest in hardware for the applications, in addition to hardware for the original files as well as security, data redundancy, load balancing and large volume back-up systems.  

 

If your connectivity is below 100 MBit/sec or is jammed at peak hours, your organisation is not a candidate for a packaged media asset management solution for the following reasons:

 

  • Download speed will be too slow to satisfy creative pro­fessionals. They will inevitably revert to storing their files on local systems.
  • Your organisation's Internet access will be jammed through peak hours, typically around 11 am and 3 pm. Your IT will then revert to prioritise Internet traffic at the cost of the media asset management system, which will enforce users to revert back to local systems.
  • Response times on the application level will lag and lead to an unsatisfactory usability. Each search result will dynamically create a page with up to 50 images that need squeezing through slow lines.

 

For solutions where fast internal access for large pre-press files is necessary, onison recommends utilising onison's appli­cation service that is supplemented with internal file servers at your various locations. onison will provide the multi-location mirroring while each server location will hold the locally needed files. The local machines will automatically update the mirror servers. This will allow companies to circumvent the large bandwidth requirements of packaged solutions while satisfying the highest security standards in the industry.
