Polling Question

Are you evaluating Object Storage?

• Data is growing (obviously)

• Consumption patterns are changing• Moving from broadcast (one to

many) to on-demand (one to few)

• The need to retain, potentially forever, is justifiable

• Access of content, new or old, must feel instant

The State Of Data In Media & Entertainment

• Scale, both in terms of capacity and number of objects, is critical

• Ongoing data verification

• Long-term accessibility

• No proprietary protocols

• The simpler the better (HTTP, Object, NFS)

Addressing Preservation

• Data needs to be pushed close to users when possible

• Reduce latency

• Increase scale (number of users that can access)

• Data needs to be centralized as it ages

• Access still needs to be fast

Data Distribution

The Result?Monetization Of Digital Assets

As A Service

• Too many moving parts

• Most environments have multiple servers/apps/repositories

• Data has to either be moved

• Or app has to manage accessing multiple repositories

Most clients access via HTTP, but...

• Requests are converted to object, NFS or SMB

The Latency Challenge For Delivery

• Object Storage Basics

• TCO

• Scale (capacity and objects)

• Data Verification

Object Storage Solves M&E Challenges

• Object Storage Advanced

• Native Data Distribution

• Native Data Management (best-of-breed solutions)

• Efficient protection

• Systems can now be flash or HDD

• Access types are improving

• Native NFS

• HTTP
