Maximizing storage Storage Anywhere

By Julián Fernández-CampónSolutions Director@Tedial

Maximizing Storage – Storage Anywhere


• Current Storage Technologies have evolved drastically since 2010:• Increased Capacity, Scale Out, Reduced Cost• High Redundancy• Media Replication• Multi-Tier Storage

• “Object Storage” is a fundamental part of these technologies:• Metadata• Improved Security• Both “Cloud” and “On Premise”• Multiple Levels


• Must Address New Business Requirements:• Distributed Program Production

• Versioning: Localization Tasks (Audio/Subs) to improve content profitability

• Program Delivery to different Regions/Territories

• Costs Reduction at all levels

• Requirement for Future Proof Technology and Service Providers

• Improved Security: Stop New Releases Leaks!

• Cloud Operations • For approvals, collaborative tasks

• For Security, Redundancy, costs optimization


• Current Situation at the operations level:• Different storage from different vendors

• Different types of storage

• Difficult Management

• Security Issues

• File movement delegated to upper tiers

Versus HSM needs today!

• Use Cases: • Distributed Content Prep Workflows; Editing, Enrichment, Validation

• Content Publishing: Multiple Sources, Multiple Destinations

• Storage in the Cloud, as a backup

• Cloud Operation: Some operations fully deployed in the cloud

• Hybrid Scenarios: Local storage in multiple places for Editing, High-Res QC, etc.

CRUD: Create, Read, Update, Delete. API Calls

Create:// New object creation for a filename

var myObject = AugmentedStorage.createOject(filename,attributes);

// Store the object properties in the app layer: objectID, ...

Read:// Read object by UUID

var myObject = AugmentedStorage.readOject(myObjectID);

// Get the path in the local site

myLocalPath = myObjectID.getPath();

// Access the file using the local path

Update:// Update the

AugmentedStorage.updateOject(myObjectID, newFilename, attributes);

Delete:AugmentedStorage.updateOject(myObjectID);


Business Benefits• Distributed Architecture ensures resiliency and supports Cloud deployments

• Distributed storage management: Files can be stored in one node and be recovered in another transparently

• Unified Storage Layer: Permissions, Visibility in a heterogeneous environment

• Optimized for multi-site, multi-tier storage

• Basic Metadata support, independent of a MAM system

• Automatic Transfer of files between nodes: For content access from the local site


Business Benefits for Cloud Infrastructure• Elasticity: Self-discovery of all servers--A new Node can be started and is

automatically added to the pool without manual intervention

• Native cloud infrastructure support (no need for NAS/SAN storage), for content management and publishing

• Hybrid Cloud/On Premise Storage is virtualized providing a transparent access to third party systems

• Transfer Optimization • Between the Cloud and Local Storage

• Point-to-Point, between nodes


Business Benefits: Resiliency• Autonomous Operation in case of loss of connection with main server

• Content Publishing: Locally Managed files are always accessible

• Remote site ingests: Ingested content will be synced with the central node once it returns to service

• Basic Media workflows execution

Use Cases: Distributed Content Prep
