File Based Storage for Broadcast Workflows

These are indeed interesting times. Concurrent with the wide adoption of file-based workflows, the resolution of video content is increasing while the number of formats and sources of content are expanding dramatically. At the same time, broadcast budget constraints are more severe than they have ever been. If you are facing paradoxical conditions like these, you need to know about the technologies available today providing the high performance file storage your creative processes need at a cost far below that required by earlier generation products.

This paper explores current pain points in the broadcast workflow and how the use of scalable, high performance Network-Attached Storage (NAS) can reduce this pain. You will find out how high performance scalable NAS with a single file system provides solutions to many problems in today’s file-based broadcast workflows. You will also get some insights on where broadcast workflows may evolve to accommodate the mutual needs of higher performance, easier content management and constrained equipment and software budgets.
