For digital asset management, library and content ops

Your DAM is half empty.
The library is everywhere else.

The assets never made it into the DAM, so people gave up and went back to the drives. Asset Foundry indexes everything in place, drives, cloud and tape included, dedupes on checksum, and normalizes the metadata into one governed graph. Give the DAM you already have a brain, or skip the migration entirely. No re-upload, no stalled cutover.

The daily friction
✗We migrated into the DAM once. It half worked, then everyone drifted back to the shared drives.
✗Metadata is whatever the last person felt like typing, and nobody has maintained it in two years.
✗I know we have three copies of that master somewhere, I just can't prove which storage is paying for them.
What changes for you
01

Index in place, no migration

Gateway indexes drives, cloud and tape where they already sit, read-only, and returns files with a checksum and metadata on every result. The library becomes searchable without a cutover project that stalls halfway and sends everyone back to the drives.

02

Dedupe on checksum, not on filename

Gateway produces checksum-level duplicate reports and storage-cost reports across 8 storage tiers. A master copied under different names is recognized as one asset, so you can finally show what the duplicates cost before you touch a thing.

03

Metadata nobody has to maintain by hand

Fabric normalizes 300+ sources into one governed knowledge graph on the MovieLabs OMC model, 340 fields across 14 entity types, and flags current versus superseded. Records from every tool and every era finally describe assets the same way.

04

Preview about 140 formats in a browser

Lens opens about 140 formats right in the browser with no restore and no pre-processing, from camera RAW and EXR to broadcast video and multi-page documents. Nothing in the library stays a black box waiting on specialist software.

Book the ones that fit your team, or the whole platform. Each shares one index.

Gateway

One search across every drive, bucket and tape shelf you own, read-only, with a checksum and metadata on every result. Plus the reports you never had: checksum-level duplicate reports and storage-cost reports across 8 storage tiers, so you can prove what the sprawl costs instead of guessing at it.

Fabric

Normalize metadata from 300+ sources into one governed knowledge graph on the MovieLabs OMC model, 340 fields across 14 entity types, with current versus superseded flagged in the query itself. The half-maintained tags stop being your problem because the graph keeps them consistent, not a person typing them in.

Lens

Preview about 140 formats straight in the browser wherever the file lives, from camera RAW and EXR to broadcast video and multi-page decks, with no restore and no original software. Every asset in the index becomes something anyone can actually look at before they pull it.

Nexus

For the day you do decide to move something, atomic ingest with checksum verification on intake and opt-in duplicate skip, so files land whole and you never re-import a copy you already have. Migration becomes a deliberate, verified step, not a big-bang cutover you hope survives.

A day in the life

Taming the sprawl, from scattered drives to one searchable library

STEP 01

Point it at the sprawl, read-only

Aim Gateway at the drives, the cloud buckets and the tape shelf at once. It indexes them in place, read-only, and returns every file with a checksum and its metadata. Nothing moves, nothing re-uploads, and the DAM you already bought stays exactly where it is.

STEP 02

See the duplicates and normalize the mess

Gateway reports checksum-level duplicates and storage cost across 8 storage tiers, so you can show finance what the copies cost. Fabric maps the mixed, half-maintained metadata into one OMC graph of 340 fields and 14 entity types and flags current versus superseded, so the library describes itself consistently for the first time.

STEP 03

Work from the clean graph, move only when you choose

Preview any asset in Lens to confirm it on sight, then work straight from the normalized, deduped graph, which becomes the searchable brain over the DAM and drives you already run. When you genuinely want to relocate a file, Nexus ingests it whole with checksum verification and skips the duplicate.

Questions
Can we make our existing DAM findable without migrating everything into it first?

Yes. Asset Foundry indexes your drives, cloud and tape in place, read-only, so one search returns every asset with a checksum and normalized metadata wherever it actually lives. Fabric normalizes that metadata into one governed graph that becomes the searchable brain over the DAM and drives you already run, so people find assets without another migration that stalls and sends them back to the shared drives. You give the DAM a brain rather than staging another cutover.

How do we find duplicate files across drives, cloud and tape?

Gateway produces checksum-level duplicate reports across all 8 storage tiers, matching on the file's checksum rather than its name or path. A master copied under different names across different tiers is still recognized as one asset, and storage-cost reports put a number on what those copies are costing, so you can see exactly what reclaiming them saves before you delete anything.

Our metadata is inconsistent and nobody maintains it. Can this normalize it?

Yes. Fabric joins 300+ sources into one governed knowledge graph mapped to the MovieLabs OMC model, 340 fields across 14 entity types, so records from every tool finally describe assets the same way. It flags current versus superseded inside the query, and AI-suggested tags and mappings wait for human approval before anything is written, so the normalization happens without a person hand-typing metadata into a form all day.

Can we preview old or unusual formats without opening specialist software?

Yes. Lens opens about 140 formats in a browser with no restore and no pre-processing, including camera RAW, EXR and DPX, broadcast video, audio and multi-page documents. Previews generate on the fly wherever the file sits, so a format nobody on the team can still open becomes something anyone can look at from a browser tab. The fastest way to see it against your own sprawl is the four-week pilot: one slice of your library, read-only, findings in your numbers.
