Principles in Archive Management, Part II
Last month we introduced you to the archive, one of the less understood components of the enterprise video server solution.
Tempering the Cost of the Digital Transition
Broadcast group owners continue to explore alternatives to operational practices in order to offset the costs required to make the transition to digital.
The Impact of Advanced Video Coding
Video compression technologies will change the models we've grown to embrace since the introduction of 500-channel cable and direct-to-home satellite broadcast.
The Evolution of the Universal Serial Bus
Portability is becoming a driving force in both consumer and professional media systems.
Home Media Server Concepts Evolve
Digital media servers are heading straight into the living room, thanks in part to the DVD evolution.
The High Performance Serial Bus Architecture
The emphasis on high-definition production, distribution and play-out is presenting another set of evolutionary challenges to the video server marketplace.
File Interchange, Part I
Video server users have long sought a means to exchange files between differing video and media server platforms.
Storage Architecture Continues to Evolve
In the information age of the 21st century, one of the fastest-changing elements seems to focus on the means and methods of how information is stored and distributed.
Putting the IOPS Where They Count
A performance measurement commonly used to benchmark hard disk drives, solid state drives, and storage area networks is called Input/Output Operations Per Second, or IOPS.
Multilayer 3D Disks Expand Data Capacity
On any given day, it’s safe to state that local, enterprise and cloud storage needs continue to drive the world’s total storage requirements upwards.
The Art of Load Balancing
Those who design, build or operate video facilities have grown accustomed to employing multiple PCs, workstations and IT servers as part of their systems.
Metadata for File-Based Workflows Becomes Core Component
Metadata is essential to the success of file-based workflows in MAM or in the cataloging process for active or archived media content.
Metadata for File-Based Workflows Becomes Core Component
Media management, storage systems and video servers all employ varying degrees of metadata to keep track of the assets stored on their systems.
Cloudy With a Change in Storage
Cloud technologies seem to have created a quantum shift in the future of storage and networked services.
Managing Storage System Overhead
For the casual user, knowing the total versus usable storage capacity of their system is not usually of concern
Interfacing with the Cloud
Cloud storage is fundamentally about the delivery of virtualized storage on demand.
How Access Time Affects System Performance
If one component performs poorly, the overall system is then dragged down to that lowest common denominator
