In the media and entertainment industry, the basic requirements for data storage remain unchanged. Broadcast organizations, post production houses, and animation and visual effects (VFX) studios need to ingest media quickly, then provide fast, consistent access to that content. Team members must be able to easily work with content and collaborate with colleagues on editing, color correction, FX, and a variety of other tasks. At the same time, organizations must cost-effectively preserve content for future use and protect it from damage and loss.
