Perifery a division of DataCore, has announced it has agreed to a joint letter of intent to acquire substantially all the assets of Kalray’s Pixitmedia.
Pixitmedia adds to Perifery’s media-centric storage and AI-enabled workflows, with the front-line file system solutions and support for various Media Asset Management systems, “broadening Perifery’s reach across the M&E industry.”
Perifery was formed by DataCore as a vertical M&E-focused business to provide solutions for the storage, discovery, and monetisation of assets. Perifery’s product suite facilitates media workflows with AI-driven analytics, near-line archive, and resilient archival solutions.
Pixitmedia provides collaboration for M&E organisations and post companies, serving as a platform for data management while facilitating interoperability. Designed for distributed workloads, Pixitmedia offers a global namespace addressing the protocol and operating systems requirements of most applications. This enables simultaneous editing, secured content sharing, and access to files across global locations, while preventing data loss and unauthorized access.
Dave Zabrowski Chief Executive Officer, DataCore said: “With the acquisition of Pixitmedia, we continue to deliver against Perifery’s vertical-focused competitive growth strategy in Media and Entertainment. Perifery will now empower media and entertainment professionals with AI-enriched content ingestion, high-performance file systems, and scalable archive capabilities. By integrating Pixitmedia’s innovative technologies into our complementary end-to-end solutions, we are driving transformative efficiency across the entire media landscape.”
Ben Lever, Co-founder and Business Line Leader of Pixitmedia said: “By integrating our expertise in high-performance file-based technology enabling media workloads with Perifery’s object-based media archival solutions, we are redefining the possibilities for media workflows. This strategic acquisition enables us to provide unparalleled value to our customers in media and entertainment, equipping them with innovative, end-to-end workflow solutions that seamlessly scale to meet their evolving creative and post-production demands. Our focus remains on empowering media professionals to push the boundaries of their craft while optimizing efficiency and productivity in their workflows.”
Andy Darcy, CTO of Advanced Systems Group LLC said: “This acquisition marks a significant milestone for the media and entertainment technology industry. By integrating Pixitmedia into its portfolio, Perifery enhances its already robust product offerings, providing even more innovative solutions to address the industry’s evolving demands. As a proud partner of Perifery, we are thrilled to collaborate with them during this transformative period and to leverage the expanded capabilities this acquisition brings.
