Bloomberg solves cloud media workflows across hybrid and multicloud environments

about About Bloomberg Media Group

Bloomberg Media is the world’s largest business news organization, reaching a premium audience of 91 million. A premium 24/7 media network, the company delivers business and financial news across every platform and every time zone, using proprietary intelligence and global research tools to help partners define business priorities, reach target audiences and motivate action.

 

Bloomberg Media challenged themselves to build a global system for file, object and cloud storage that would serve all of their storage and playback needs worldwide — with an ultimate goal of "anything from anywhere."

 

Scality RING now acts as a single platform for all of Bloomberg Media's workflows — ingest, editing, distribution and direct playback — with data orchestration between on-premises storage and multiple public clouds.

flag The Challenge

One global storage system for every workflow, every platform, every time zone
Bloomberg Media challenged themselves to build a global system for file, object and cloud storage that would serve all of their storage and playback needs worldwide — with an ultimate goal of "anything from anywhere."

Bloomberg Media challenged themselves to build a global system for file, object and cloud storage that would serve all of their storage and playback needs worldwide.

Bloomberg's view of storage started with some basic premises:

  • Cloud egress is costly and must be managed
  • Storing content on multiple cloud providers has many benefits if managed properly
  • Public cloud storage doesn't guarantee 100% uptime
  • Global content lifecycle policies enable flexible, standardized and scalable data management
  • Their ultimate goal for storage: Anything from anywhere

tick Solution

A single RING platform for every media workflow, on-prem and multicloud

As the foundation of Bloomberg Media's enterprise storage solution, Scality RING acts as a single platform for all media workflows and applications, managing multiple workflows on multiple clouds:

  • Media file ingest
  • Content distribution
  • Scalability and durability standards that enable efficient, indefinite retention of growing content
  • Workflow editing
  • Playback directly from Scality RING
  • Support for a global asset repository using S3 across regions

In addition, Scality hybrid and multicloud data management provides data orchestration between on-premises data and multiple public clouds.

list The Results

Infrastructure with the scale for whatever comes next

Scality helps Bloomberg Media achieve the company's anything-from-anywhere goal for storage — a whole infrastructure solution, not just a product, ready for future changes at scale.

We have made very good progress in standing up not only a product, but really a whole infrastructure solution that can add the scale we need for all of the changes coming in the future.
