Japanese TV Station chooses Infortrend Storage Management Core Broadcasting Service
Recently, a national television station in Japan has used Infortrend's storage solution to cope with the growing number of broadcasting tasks. Upgrade the legacy system with enterprise unified storage EonStor GS 3000 to upgrade all aspects (for example, stronger performance, larger capacity, more flexible access management, and the addition of remote backup)
In this project, users install EonStor GS 3000 and JB 3000 series expansion cabinets and build NAS system, which is very suitable for supporting file sharing between multiple acquisition servers and editing workstations at the same time. Install another GS 3000 for archiving via remote backup. The GS 3000 storage system achieves highly stable file-level performance through 10 GbE connections, which meets the stringent requirements of TV stations for broadcasting tasks.
This user's problem with the management of film and television media materials is common in the industry-dealing with large amounts of data from videos in ultra-high-definition formats (for example, 4K, 8K and higher pixels). EonStor GS has better performance and larger capacity, while fully supporting network protocols, including CIFS, AFP, NFS, FTP. The protocols that support these make GS devices barrier-free into the user's existing environment. The new system also allows users to flexibly manage access to data to meet changing business needs.
The media industry is always upgrading existing storage systems, because the amount of data of film and television is growing rapidly, so this demand exists all the time. Generally speaking, the performance of the film and television industry is the main concern of users, because they often take up a lot of bandwidth to process data. With EonStor GS, users can be guaranteed excellent read and write performance, as well as a wide variety of network interfaces. Users directly use the existing data management system to achieve online data migration, so as to achieve the purpose of updating and upgrading the storage system.
