Several months ago while working on regular scheduled project, our research lab team was studying NVMe drives and software in order to find the best way of assembling software arrays. Testing results obtained that time were surprisingly confusing, as productivity of software in use was not corresponding to huge potential of NVMe drives and their […]

Data Storage in Video Surveillance Data storage in Video Surveillance implies multi-thread sequential operations. Each IP-camera generates a sequential data stream that is written into a video archive storage. This results in a considerable multi-thread write workload. Playing video from the archive entails sequential read operations triggered by single or multiple streams. In terms of workloads, […]

Data storage in Video Surveillance implies multi-thread sequential operations. Each IP-camera generates a sequential data stream that is written into a video archive storage. This results in a considerable multi-thread write workload. Playing video from the archive entails sequential read operations triggered by single or multiple streams. In terms of workloads, the storage performs its best when a project does not involve permanent video playback by various operators from multiple workstations.

In this whitepaper, we cover the use of the RAIDIX technology in media postproduction. One of the typical infrastructure models employed by M&E IT professionals is the architecture based on Apple workstations and the Apple Xsan file system. RAIDIX engineers offer a solution to ensure shared data access from multiple video editing workstations and maintain sustainable high speed of multi-thread data processing.

Storing and accessing large files in data-rich industries, such as medical diagnostics or resource-intensive research, may be a challenging task for any IT infrastructure. As for Media & Entertainment, this segment works with files that are truly gargantuan. In case the resolution of digital content is 2K or 4K — over four times the standard resolution – an average feature film can take up to 2TB size in Full HD and up to 15TB in 8K.
