Solutions for media and entertainment
Supercharge your content distribution with optimized media workflows at scale
Successful content distribution is all about ensuring that data is always available when and where you want it — and accessible in the format required for your applications.
Storage for media and entertainment content calls for a file and object storage solution built with a solid understanding of media workflow challenges — from production to post-production, content distribution, media asset management and data archiving.
The pressure is on to manage data differently. Despite recognizing the strategic potential of data, many large-scale enterprises face serious challenges in managing their enterprise data across fragmented storage silos.
Scality RING for Video on Demand
Storage is at the heart of successful Video on Demand (VoD) service. Profitability and performance go hand-in-hand. Store more for less. Scality’s Media & Entertainment Solutions deliver.
Media and entertainment industry pain points
Enormous volume
Scalability is critical. Media data is massive, driven to petabytes by higher resolutions (4K and soon 8K), higher bit depths (HDR), higher frame rates (from 24 fps to 60 and soon 120), and new technologies (such as 3D, VR, AR).
24×7 access
On-demand access is expected. Today’s consumers have high standards for access to their favorite media and entertainment content. It must be instantly accessible anywhere at any time, without delays.
Long-term retention
Accessing archived content should be fast and easy. M&E companies must retain data for long periods of time — and they need hassle-free ways to repurpose and monetize older data. RING provides an effective online alternative to offline tape archives.
High TCO
As volumes grow, costs multiply. Tier-1 storage is needed for capture and post-production, but it gets costly downstream. Purpose-built archive and backup appliances end up creating more silos.
Diverse format variety
Media and entertainment content is distributed in myriad formats, adding complexity. With RING, file data from legacy media workflow applications are supported in the same platform with new object-based content delivery workloads
