Content Fingerprinting & Asset Intelligence
Unlike hash-based solutions (such as SHA-256) that fail when even a single byte changes, Ad-Match uses perceptual fingerprinting to identify matching content regardless of resolution, codec, compression, or container format.
When you ingest a file, Ceivo generates a internal hash that acts like digital DNA. This fingerprint never changes, even if you rename the file, move it to different storage. The system can identify exact duplicates anywhere in your infrastructure and detect near-duplicates that might be different resolutions or compressions of the same content.
This technology enables real deduplication at enterprise scale. Ceivo finds all the copies of the same file across your cloud storage, on-premises NAS, and tape archives. You can eliminate redundant copies to save storage costs or maintain pointers to all locations if you need geographic distribution. The system tracks every version derived from a source file, so you can see the complete lineage of content as it moves through your workflow.
