HGST Active Archive System Showcased at IBC2016
for Media and Broadcast Markets
IBC2016 (Hall 7, Booth #H39) – Helping the world harness
the power of data in media workflows, Western Digital Corporation
(NASDAQ: WDC) and Scale Logic will showcase their HyperFS
enterprise file management solution and the HGST Active Archive
System, creating a high-performance file share with active
archiving capabilities. The workflow solution delivers petabyte
scale for long-term data protection, easy data management, minimal
and non-disruptive maintenance, and low total cost of ownership
(TCO).
Scale Logic and HGST will be at IBC, RAI Amsterdam, Hall 7,
Booth H39, September 9-13. Supporting video and film
post-production, and video content creation workflows, Scale Logic
easily runs media asset management (MAM) software, as well as
transcode, ingest and manage object storage archive from the HGST
system. Workflow demonstrations will also include other software
and application providers as interoperability is key in the media
and entertainment market.
Key Benefits of the workflow being demonstrated are
- High-performance file access,
supporting heterogeneous operating system environments
- IP workflows that deliver 4K and Ultra
HD (UHD) content efficiently and uninterrupted
- Scale-out architecture for media
workloads that meet today’s petascale requirements, and for
tomorrow’s exascale growth
- Reduced TCO using Scale Logic’s storage
and server platforms and HGST Active Archive
- Significant storage cost savings using
policy-based tiered storage
- High levels of data security and data
preservation
- Optional mirroring and replication for
archive disaster protection
“Media and entertainment is at the forefront of storage
technology where big data capacities, high-bandwidth performance
and low latency demands must deliver video for both monetization
and for data analytics,” said Bob Herzan, president and CEO at
Scale Logic. “Scale Logic allows users to easily migrate content
from a SAN or NAS to the HGST Active Archive System, freeing up
primary storage while protecting data that is at rest or is no
longer active.”
HyperFS is a scalable, high-availability, global file system
supporting both block and file based protocols simultaneously to
deliver high-bandwidth SAN and dynamic Scale-Out NAS functionality.
Together, with the object storage-based HGST Active Archive System,
the combined solution offers petabyte-scale capacity, so there’s no
need to destroy valuable video, images or content in order to make
room for new digital assets.
Through policy-based tiered storage, organizations can tackle
data growth and ensure that necessary data is not lost, and is
easily accessible. Older and less frequently used files remain
accessible, but are archived away on the HGST Active Archive System
so critical performance-oriented infrastructure can focus on
important applications while concurrently eliminating performance
bottlenecks.
“The HGST Active Archive System provides breakthrough
scalability, fast data access and industry-leading TCO, making it
an ideal content repository for media asset workflows and content
delivery,” said Dave Tang, senior vice president and general
manager, Data Center Systems Business Unit at Western Digital.
“Ongoing advances in video resolution and the need to make digital
assets readily available over long periods of time require new
solutions to address the increasing of volume, value and longevity
of content. With Scale Logic and the HGST Active Archive System,
users can access the content they need, when they need it
throughout post-production, monetization and re-monetization
cycles.”

One GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TB equals 1,000 GB
(one trillion bytes). One PB is equal to 1,000 TB (one quadrillion
bytes). Actual capacity will vary depending on operating
environment and formatting. Usable capacity will vary from the raw
capacity due to object storage methodologies and other factors.
