Big Data Solutions for Media and Entertainment
Ideal for:
- Media and entertainment companies
Built to:
- Consolidate workflows into a single, scalable volume
- Access digital assets across multiple workflows concurrently
- Achieve over 80 percent storage utilization
Media and entertainment firms seek to increase the value of their media assets by merging creativity with technological breakthroughs. Storage infrastructure helps manage, store, and provide access to rapidly growing libraries of media content for distribution channels, media formats, and consumption models.
Maximum Value
Media companies across the globe rely on the EMC Isilon scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) platform to maximize the value of media assets. EMC Isilon scale-out storage solutions, built on the EMC Isilon OneFS operating system, can store over 15 petabytes of data in a single volume.
High-Performance Media
EMC Isilon Platform Nodes and Accelerators accelerate high-performance media production processes by consolidating local media stores and enabling highly concurrent access to any type of digital content, all from a single file system.
Archive for Media Assets
With the EMC Isilon NL-Series platform node, high-density nearline storage enables you to create large-scale media archives so you can keep your media assets active while repurposing them on the fly to increase their business value.
Cost Reduction
Reduce costs by increasing storage utilization and decreasing management demands. With Isilon, you have no need for costly client-side Fibre Channel host bus adaptors (HBAs) and file-system software for storage area network (SAN) systems.
Solution Description
EMC Isilon scale-out storage for the media and entertainment industry delivers high performance, scalability, and ease of use while minimizing cost over time.
With the EMC Isilon OneFS operating system, every Isilon cluster is a single pool of storage with a global namespace, eliminating silos of storage and reducing complexity. OneFS combines file system, volume manager, and data protection into one unified software layer, creating a single intelligent file system.
Performance Meets Productivity
Media organizations have significant performance needs such as supporting ingest and editing stations, rendering images for high-resolution 3D animation, compositing 2D images from multiple layers, and running color correction jobs on thousands of digital moving-picture exchange (DPX) files. EMC Isilon meets those needs with storage utilization rates of over 80 percent, more than 100 GBs of aggregate throughput, and 1.6 million file operations per second in a single file system to accelerate data access and delivery.
Collaboration and Concurrent Access
The EMC Isilon single-file system allows media producers and artists to store all file-based data in one place. Users can work concurrently on the same file, generating hundreds of standard-definition (SD), high-definition (HD), and 2K streams for ingest, edit, rendering, and play-out access—all on the same storage pool, without performance degradation.
Manage Data, Not Storage
EMC Isilon products are simple to install, manage, and scale, at any size. Storage can be added with no downtime and no disruption to content.
