Security
Security is a growing concern in this industry. With the introduction of TPN and continuing pressure from the major studios, any business in the M&E realm must worry to some degree about security.
Remediations
Each of the major studios has its own set of requirements regarding the safety and security of their content. In addition, MPA has its own take on security described in its TPN platform.
Everything Else IT
IT encompasses many areas of expertise. We can’t list them all, but here are a few areas we take pride in perfecting.
CTO
Small studios often find themselves with very little or even no IT guidance. They must be efficient; therefore, the owners may hand it to anyone with enough experience to take over anything IT.
Network:
The underlying structure behind every infrastructure. Whether you need to deploy new switches, configure existing ones, connecting your environment, segment networks, Wi-Fi connectivity, or anything else to do with the network, we can help!
Storage
Content is critical in this industry. The various locations of the content will need to be carefully considered and mapped. We can help you find the right storage, configure it, optimize it, determine a backup strategy, and guide you on how to use it correctly.
Servers
Most businesses will need some servers to perform specific tasks. These can be authentication, licensing, file transfer services, etc. These servers can be physical or virtual, and we can do both!
Cloud
Cloud is getting higher momentum in this industry and becoming more acceptable to use by the major studios. However, the cloud journey can be difficult and sometimes complex. Zalcore can guide you with your cloud journey and get you where you should be.
Applications
We don’t know every application out there, but we know many. This industry is using hundreds of applications for various reasons and uses. Each business is different, but at the end of the day, the type of application being used is the same.
What we do
Zalcore specializes in the M&E industry to provide superb IT services to its growing list of customers. Zalcore understands its clients’ challenges, needs, and wants and collaborates to develop creative solutions, affordable workarounds, and a long-term IT strategy.
Leveraging our extended experience in this industry, we can significantly reduce costs and offer flexibility to all types of M&E businesses. We understand you know your business best and will work with you to design, deploy, and support the desired solution.
We understand that each business is different, with unique workflows and systems. There is no one solution to fit everyone, so our primary target is finding the right solution for you.
Let’s be honest here. Most IT companies offer a similar set of services. Yes, we can all configure a server or deploy a firewall. All of us can support IT and offer “Unique” services. So why Zalcore? Simply because we care about YOUR business. We care about your success, and we care about your experience with us!
Our Thinking
We don’t offer magic solutions. We also don’t offer a solution no one else is or can offer. While not all “IT Solutions” are created equal, each solution must fit the client’s needs. We don’t believe that everyone should use one product vs. another. We think that with the right guidance, you can decide what is right for you.
This industry has unique needs, timelines, services, and workflows. That is why we don’t believe just any IT service is right for you. This industry demands creative IT that offers flexibility, knowledge, experience, and vision. We think we are this company!
Our Advantage
With thousands of IT companies out there, none can claim they are the best. We agree and don’t believe in “Number 1 in California” or any other vague claim.
With over 30 years of IT experience and 10 years in this industry, we’ve seen a lot. This experience allows us to work with many companies in M&E and offer alternatives to “Standard” IT. Our goal is to make IT more than just a computer or a server, and we strive for IT to become the ultimate tool for your success!
We don’t believe in gimmicks or self-boosting claims. We are always true to ourselves and our clients. We know that we can’t offer everything to any company out there. We also know we are not doing something other IT companies aren’t already doing. What we do offer is a choice, with your goals being a priority. It’s a choice to partner with us and see how we take you to the next level!
