StorNext以任何语言支持电视网络成功

Stornext帮助俄罗斯电视网络具有多语言协作

与其前任pansive new broadcast and production center in Moscow, RT knew that collaboration across its three language-specific channels would require a high-speed, state-of-the-art storage management solution. The answer was Quantum’s StorNext® end-to-end content workflow management software and storage appliances.这result:Faster access to new data and shared workflow capability.

工作室升级带来了复杂性

International television news network RT relocated to a new 28,000-square-meter operations center designed to support its round-the-clock international television stations, video production facilities, and a rapidly expanding new-media program. The challenge: The center needed to support collaboration through shared ingest and archive capability for all of the media professionals in three distinct operations for RT’s English, Spanish, and Arabic language programming.

RT查看专业集成商Okno-TV，以提出支持其当前需求并适应增长的建议。操作的规模非常大 - 设计为六个工作室，最多八个同时输出高清饲料。该系统今天管理超过40,000小时的编程和几乎是数字内容的鼠标。

这一大型部署最具挑战性要求之一是选择一个可以支持所有RT工具的工作流解决方案，并为所有三种单独的语言操作提供协作工作流程。在查看多个供应商的替代品后，OKNO-TV和RT选定量子的Stornext。Explains Mikhail Kalanchekaev, OKNO-TV, “The key piece to supporting the system is Quantum’s StorNext technology—it provides an integrated storage infrastructure that supports all of the RT tools, provides fast easy sharing between groups, gives consistent, high-speed transfer rates, and is a proven, reliable solution. Best of all, it does its work in the background so the production teams can think about their work, not the storage that makes it possible.”

优点：中央存储库，自动数据移动

Under the new system, all content is initially ingested into a central storage pool by 24 servers. Whenever material is needed by one of the three language-specific sites, it is automatically transferred from the central location to the appropriate studio’s work area.

编程完成后，StorNext会自动将数据移动回中央池进行存档。来自公共资源的元数据和代理在所有语言站点之间共享，使任何单独的操作都很容易搜索存档和下载内容。

A major advantage of the StorNext File System is that it allows the highest performance ingest, transfer, and transcoding operations to be carried out over Fibre Channel links. Tasks suitable for lower performance (metadata transfer and some non-linear editing tasks, for example) use cost-reducing StorNext LAN clients over Ethernet.

“StorNext allows a single interface to deliver the highest possible performance whenever it is needed, and at the same time to use lower cost links for the less bandwidth-intensive operations,” says Alexander Ozersky, Head of Broadcast IT Support for RT. “StorNext’s broad support for different vendors means that RT can easily change editing, storage, or switch vendors in the future to control costs.”
