Quantum StorNext Enables Content Monetization Workflows

For decades, Deluxe Media Europe has been providing digital delivery services for media and entertainment clients, including broadcasters, major studios, and over-the-top (OTT) providers. It realized that to continue to hold a leadership position, it needed to transition to a fully file-based workflow architecture.

CONTINUED SUCCESS DEMANDS COLLABORATIVE WORKFLOWS

woul的豪华媒体团队所需的工作流d give them seamless, simultaneous access to files, store them cost-effectively, and handle extremely large amounts of data—up to 10TB of content transfer every day. The solution needed scalability and the reliability and speed expected by its global customers. And since a key to the company’s success was DL3—its own content management software—the new system had to support this application.

STORNEXT FILE SYSTEM SIMPLIFIES CLIENT CONTENT MANAGEMENT

Deluxe Media创建的新系统依靠Quantum的StorNext发挥关键作用。客户端内容被摄取、编码并传输到几个StorNext文件系统之一。每一个存储大约100TB-10000到20000个文件，其容量可以扩展以满足未来的增长。

StorNext允许编辑器从多个服务器访问每个文件系统，并允许他们轻松地跨多个位置迁移内容。StorNext的光纤通道支持实现了高性能协作，并使近线存档看起来像本地磁盘驱动器。

“StorNext在如何管理磁盘上的数据方面也优于其他替代产品，”Deluxe Media Europe的高级系统工程师Dick Grun说文件是否分散在多组磁盘上并不重要，因为StorNext文件系统提供了对所有条带组的透明访问。”

与关键应用程序的透明互操作性

StorNext允许Deluxe Media的DL3应用程序查询元数据服务器，发现文件位置，并启动跨国际站点的文件移动。它还提供了与Digital Rapids、Apple、Aspera和Signiant的互操作性，提供了完全集成的工作流。总的来说，新的基于StorNext的系统使Deluxe Media能够接收文件、查看或编辑文件、将文件转换为适当的格式，然后轻松地将文件传输到其他Deluxe位置或客户端站点。

经济高效的存档使超过5PB的资产可用

豪华媒体使用StorNext最小化磁盘空间while keeping all content available. A Quantum StorNext AEL6000 tape archive stores over 5PB of content, and the StorNext Storage Manager automatically transfers files from disk to the archive, creating two copies for redundancy. Because the archive is integrated with the file system, all metadata and content can be retrieved transparently by any Deluxe Media facility anywhere in the world.

“我们有很多电影客户端和广播客户端，因此仅在我们的伦敦设施就有大约4或5PB的档案存储空间，”格伦说将其存储在磁盘上显然是不切实际的，但由于Quantum StorNext和后端的AEL存档，实际上很容易将内容打包到看似无限的存储中。”

Deluxe Media also uses StorNext to provide additional services for its clients, including long-term archival storage of master content and transcoded files.

为未来发展做好准备

“Clearly we’re dealing with demanding content workflows, but StorNext’s seamless integration with our state-of-the-art DL3 system gives us high-performance file sharing, tiered storage, and archive to increase flexibility and greatly enhance our end-to-end workflow management. It also gives the ability to expand the system in response to future demands.”
