Solution: Video Streaming

Challenge

Deploy a digital media delivery solution that provides content at the lowest operation costs and allows the creation of a robust, scalable platform for streaming video, video on demand (VOD), corporate training, distance learning and other content-rich applications.

Solution

Pair an intelligent SATA storage platform with an integrated encoder/decoder/video server to create an extremely cost-effective video streaming solution. Implement the SAN-based solution using iQstor’s iQ1200 to create a robust, SATA-based Storage Area Network (SAN) and Vela’s MediaAdvantage MPEG-2 video server, which delivers unparalleled operational flexibility in studio or in video streaming use. Using iQstor’s intelligent Volume Manager-based Virtualization (VMV) to virtualize storage assets and iQstor’s SAN Manager to easily configure/manage the storage network, the solution can be deployed, configured and loading content for delivery in a very short time.

Benefits

  • Tightly integrated solution brings a completely modular design - systems can be expanded to tens of channels, multiple workstations, and thousands of hours of storage.
  • SATA-based SAN approach allows the solution to deliver investment protection and lower total cost of ownership.
  • Highly intelligent solution allows administrators to automate recording, loading and playback operations on the video server, and easily manage the SAN environment with the policy-based intelligent management tools embedded on the iQ1200 storage system.
