TAIPEI, , April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gorilla Technology Inc.'s tapeless workflow platform for the broadcasting and media industry -- Gorilla Silverback -- is currently managing 1 petabyte (PB) of audio-video data for National Geographic Channels International's (NGCI) US business.
Starting 3.5 years ago managing approximately 30 terabytes (TB) of data, NGCI's version of Gorilla Silverback has expanded to manage a digital archive reaching 1000 TB of data. Gorilla provides a media asset management (MAM) solution for NGCI's digital media operations.
"As a distributor of premium quality programming world-wide, National Geographic Channels International has seen rapid growth in the content under our management," said Martie Kretchmar, Vice President of Network Operations for NGCI. "Gorilla Silverback's media asset management system has offered the flexibility to scale according to our needs, ensuring we are able to continue delivering new content to our existing markets and across new countries and regions."

According to Dr Spincer Koh, CEO of Gorilla Technology Group, "We are happy to see National Geographic Channels International reach this remarkable milestone in content management. It says something about the robustness of our solution design, and strength of our technology, that NGCI has been able to grow so quickly, while continuing to maximize the value of their media assets."
