QStar -Archive and Data Management Systems" |
Our next meeting will be at the normal time- 6:30 PM.
This month’s SBE Meeting will feature a presentation brought to you by our SBE53 members and Doug Cole of LH Computer Services.
For broadcast engineers, managing the lifecycle of media content has become increasingly complex as file sizes grow, production workflows accelerate, and organizations require content to be stored forever. As media libraries continue to grow, broadcasters face increasing challenges related to storage capacity, content preservation and accessibility. Flash storage costs have risen sharply over the last 12 months, with industry reports showing NAND flash prices increasing by more than 100% in some segments and enterprise SSD prices rising by 25–250% depending on capacity and market segment, adding increased pressure on organizations to optimize data placement using lifecycle management strategies.
Archive and data management systems help address these challenges by providing a structured approach to storing, protecting, and retrieving media assets across multiple storage technologies, including disk, tape, and cloud platforms. These systems automate data placement based on operational requirements, ensuring that frequently accessed content remains readily available while older or less active assets are preserved on cost-effective storage tiers. By integrating with media asset management (MAM) systems and production workflows, archive management technologies help engineers maintain operational efficiency, support business continuity and disaster recovery objectives, and ensure that valuable media assets remain accessible for future production, repurposing, and compliance needs.
In this educational session, QStar will discuss archive and data management best practices, including scalable archive strategies, storage tiering, and long-term content protection. Attendees will learn how to optimize high-performance production storage by identifying inactive content, reduce overall storage costs, and simplify infrastructure management while ensuring media assets remain accessible to support evolving production, operational, and business requirements.
Please mark on your calenders to join us for this special presentation.
All are welcome to attend.
