Hi Scott,
Cantemo Portal supports in-place ingest, meaning it does not modify your current folder structure by moving or renaming a file, but instead just indexes it.

The question is how to distribute new files that are not already on the file system, e.g. files ingested through web upload or transcoded files.

Using the Cantemo Rules Engine you can set predefined rules which automatically distribute the files based on metadata.
Examples:
1) Lowers version of each asset should be placed in the Lowres storage group.
2) If an asset is marked as “important”, make sure to have at least 3 copies for the highres file in the Highres storage group
3) Move all highres files older than 60 days to the near line storage

Using our API’s you can go even deeper than this and fully control the file names and directory structure. This enables the system to create new files in a certain folder structure derived from the asset metadata, e.g. /2013/Oct/23/highres/my_media_file.mov.

Hope this makes sense.
Best,
Parham
