North Plains System now supports Mac OS X server

North Plains Systems, a provider of digital asset management (DAM) software, has announced that TeleScope Enterprise, its digital asset management application, will now support Tiger Server and Xsan, Apple's 64-bit cluster file system for Xserve RAID storage hardware.

TeleScope Enterprise, a scalable digital asset management application, is suitable for use with Apple's Xsan storage array in the video production, printing and publishing markets. It serves as a primary software platform for integrating and organizing media production tools such as Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Creative Suite, Digimarc ImageBridge, Microsoft Office, Microsoft PowerPoint, Telestream FlipFactory, QuarkXPress and Virage VideoLogger, the company said.

North Plains said TeleScope is the first enterprise class digital asset management application to be optimized for Tiger Server, Xserve RAID and Xsan. It provides a Web services-based architecture that connects creative teams and business managers.

TeleScope Enterprise allows IT and business managers to create an end-to-end digital media supply chain for the creation, management and distribution of rich media. Its SOAP-based APIs and XML gateways enable proven and cost-effective integration with existing enterprise IT investments such as enterprise content management systems, customer resources management systems and enterprise information portals.
