Cubix Halo is a hosted, cloud-native orchestration and archive management solution, designed to drive ALTO from AWS. A local Harness near the storage interfaces with the ALTO API, while Halo centrally manages all control and orchestration. It’s multi-tenanted, scalable, and optimized for hybrid workflows with edge processing.
Ortana Cubix Halo and ALTO Archive
Cubix Halo is Ortana’s hosted, multi-tenanted MAM and orchestration platform, purpose-built for hybrid media environments. With deep ALTO integration, Halo offers full indexing, proxy generation, AI enrichment, and archive management, all from a secure, cloud-based interface.
A local Harness is deployed near the storage to interface directly with the ALTO API, while Halo centrally manages all orchestration and control. So, managing data movement between storage locations, HSMs, and ALTO, including restore operations and externalized drive management, is seamless and fully automated.
Halo’s 150+ API integrations and MediaRules engine allow users to automate complex workflows, manage content across distributed environments, and reduce costs by processing at the edge. Whether you’re a broadcaster or content owner, Halo and ALTO deliver a powerful, scalable archive solution.
