EditShare at NAB 2018
EditShare® a technology leader in intelligent shared storage and media management solutions, today announced that it will be showcasing new capabilities across its award-winning XStream EFS scale out storage, Flow media asset management, QUALES automated quality check and file verification, and XStream EFS 40NL nearline storage solutions at NAB 2018 (booth SL8620).
Reaching for 24G Storage
Flash memory provides a needed level of storage performance for media and entertainment applications which now command, for UHD and beyond, massive amounts of storage and speed to meet the growing amounts of content being generated.
A Solid State of Non-Volatile Memory
Even as a mature, diverse and reliable technology—magnetic spinning disk drives (aka hard disk drives or “HDDs”) continue to grow in capacity, performance and cost benefits. Alternative storage solutions, however, continue to evolve.
Practicalities of Object Storage
Object storage is used heavily in public cloud storage solutions and especially when the data is geographically disbursed for protection and accessibility purposes.
Reframing the Object Store
For some time we’ve thought mainly about how file-based storage is used to contain unstructured data; i.e., those files relative to moving (video) or static (photographic) images.
Trends in Storage Resource Management
No organization or individual is immune to the problems of limited storage capacity.
Network Management for IP and Storage
Storage systems, whether or not coupled with editing systems, MAMs or other production-related data systems within broad- cast facilities, are all headed in the direction of IP-based infrastructures.
Dealing With Latency for Performance Improvements
Latency is a continual concern, impacting nearly all forms of media and communication systems.
Discovering the Importance of Storage Analytics
Since storage has become a key component in nearly all media systems and workflows, one might wonder if “storage analytics”—the detailed information about individual and overall storage elements—are important to operations and management of the entire media production ecosystem.
Elements of a Software-Defined Network
Over the course of the past decade we’ve seen a proliferation of servers, often as commodity-based products from the usual sources, being added to facilities for nearly every system in the video production equipment room or the delivery network.
Storage Trends—Exploring Objects and Scale-Out NAS
Network attached storage, or NAS, continues to expand in acceptance and in capabilities.
Getting a Handle on the Power
As broadcast equipment technologies move closer to information technology-based systems, the way in which we design, build, monitor and account for operational costs is expected to change in near lock step with the technology we’re going to be building—or already are.
Taking Steps to Rebuild RAID
Anyone with any type of high-performance storage system for a video playout server, play-to-air system or nonlinear editing solution of any scale has probably experienced this.
