Shared Storage and Asset Management
VCA is a leader in shared storage and asset management solutions. As your edit suites and other content creation workstations grow in number, and the size and volume of projects and files grow, you need shared storage and asset management.
Consider the risks and problems associated with inadequate shared storage and asset management, including: missing deadlines because of lack of coordination, or having to pull all-nighters for every project because your coordination and productivity is crippled by lack of properly shared systems; different procedures for every editor, piles of hard drives everywhere, firewire drives failing just when you need them most; confusion, loss of data, or having to deliver a lower-quality deliverable to your customer because you will not make the deadline otherwise.
All of these are issues that a better-shared storage and asset management system can help you get under control. Our engineers and application specialists are certified in all the major platforms for shared storage hardware and software as well as asset management. VCA features hardware platforms from Avid, Apple, AutoDesk, Rorke, EditShare, Archion, and many more. We offer shared storage SAN software from Apple XSAN, Quantum StorNext, CommandSoft FiberJet, Studio Network Solutions and MetaSan to Avid Unity Media Network. VCA is also certified at the highest levels for expert guidance, design and installation of asset management solutions, including Avid Interplay, Apple Final Cut Server, SSL Gravity, Focus ProxSys, and many more.

Workflow Solutions
Hardware and software are only two aspects of your business needs. Without a defined workflow, your company could be losing thousands of dollars each day due to delays. Workflow is the key to getting more productivity, more creativity, and more quality from your equipment. Good workflow design that's built with high-quality standards is the key to more success. A good workflow design can help you to control and manage both traditional video routing and tape-based workflows as well as new file-based and IT based workflows. VCA employs engineers who specialize in both. We'll work with you, your engineers, and your entire team to develop a comprehensive workflow solution that will eliminate inefficiencies and harness the power of your equipment and your creative talent. We will evaluate your current workflow and propose changes wherever needed, enabling your people to work faster, more efficiently, and more productively than ever before.

Machine Rooms
VCA designs & builds new machine rooms, as well as upgrades to your existing machine rooms. Whether it's for a post facility or for broadcast needs, a properly designed machine room that you can rely on makes a lot of sense - improving productivity and reducing costs and downtime.
A machine room can help you to control and manage both traditional video routing and tape-based workflows as well as new tapeless, file-based IT centric workflows. VCA has engineers who specialize in both. For example, outfitting each edit suite with separate decks, storage, and hardware costs time, and money, and brings heat and noise into your creative environment. Shared resources reduce costs, maximize efficiency, and eliminate clutter while allowing you to access all the power of the gear you own from one central location. Streamline your facility with a machine room dedicated to handle the input/output services you require.
The VCA team of experienced and certified engineers, installers, and technicians can integrate an array of acquisition, encoding, streaming, shared storage, and media asset management solutions to meet the complexities of your facility.
