About the Service

At Projective, our focus is to make your (post-production) life easier, so we have designed the Proactive Deduplication Service, as part of Strawberry. It deploys state-of-the-art methodologies to reliably identify and eliminate file duplicates on shared storage while remaining non-intrusive to editorial users and their workflows.

Typical IT-based deduplication products do not take into account the crucial links between post-production projects and files, carelessly deleting duplicate files and creating “media offline” situations that highly frustrate your editors. This is where Strawberry’s Proactive Deduplication Service excels – as it works closely with your existing post-production database, project integrity and associated metadata are fully preserved. Please have a look at our website for more information.
