More about BLAM’s technology

Workflow The workflow runner (WFR) is the heart of BLAM providing a scalable runtime environment for the 450+ microservice BLidgets. Operational process run in WFR & are developed using a no-code drag-drop-connect-configure interface.

Search The search engine provides powerful and super-fast Google style search capability for both structured and unstructured data. The platform includes entirely new methods for media operators to visualise large data-sets.

Tasks BLAM supports manual and creative operations through the task flow capability which drives operational efficiency, precision and provides a complete view on business functions for managers.

Access BLAM supports a true multi-tenant model for User Access Control (UAC) allowing operators to logically separate the media and system access rights between different organisations.

Management BLAM provides a completely open metadata model, supporting controlled vocabularies, validation, hierarchical models and display masks. Layered temporal metadata is also provided to support production operations.

Storage BLAM manages any storage medium: disk, object and cloud storage with connectors available for a wide range of proprietary and HSM systems. BLAM seamlessly manages any number of storage pools to unify operations.

Configure BLAM your way with BLidgets

BLidgets-model-kit

Operation specific workflows are built in the BLAM core using BLidgets (Blue Lucy Widgets). These are the microservice functional building blocks of workflows. BLidgets perform a range of specific functions such as file transfers, controlling cloud services such as transcode, as well as operational functions such as parsing or writing metadata. There are more than 450, and counting, BLidgets available to operators.
