The VOA is a multimedia international broadcasting service funded by the U.S. government. Produced in 45 languages, VOA news, informational, educational, and cultural programming is broadcast approximately 1,500 hours a week to an estimated audience of more than 134 million people worldwide. VOA is large, logistically complex — with round-the-clock news deadlines — and required to abide by the federal government’s recordkeeping requirements. As a result, the VOA faces multiple challenges when it comes to identifying, storing, and affording appropriate access to media content.

At VOA, DIVArchive will move assets between Omneon media servers and a Spectra® T950 tape library under the direction of Dalet® media asset management. Initially, the workflow will be configured with 13 TB of nearline SAN and 3500 hours of storage on LTO-4 datatapes.
