For cable companies, multiple service operators (MSOs), telcos and content providers who need a cost efficient, reliable solution for massively scalable video storage and recording that exceeds stringent performance requirements, the MediaKind Video Storage and Processing Platform (VSPP) is the only field proven, large scale software-based solution that provides resiliency, very high throughput, and virtually hands-off maintenance. This platform is highly optimized to minimize hardware footprint and provide the best possible TCO.

Supported use cases

Cloud DVR

Cloud based DVR applications enable service providers to offer a DVR service without the need todeploy or upgrade to expensive DVR boxes at the subscriber site. By locating the storage and streaming at the network operation center and running an RS-DVR client software at the subscriber site, operators can offer a full DVR service without the need of hardware upgrades at the subscriber.

Dynamic origin server

The origin server is a scale out media storage system that can also perform content transformation, and streaming. The origin ingests MPEG-TS CBR and ABR, and transforms them on-the-fly to RTSP and different OTT formats, thus eliminating the need to store multiple formats.

VSPP tiered architecture

Supports different tiers to address specific streaming patterns as well as content popularity.

Edge pumps

With an ongoing transformation to the full-blown Media Edge for the legacy and OTT delivery.

Designed as the optimal disk platform for storage of mid-tier data, including primary storage offload, data staging, backup and archiving, BlackPearl Network Attached Storage (NAS) is one of the most affordable enterprise storage solutions on the market, costing as little as pennies per gigabyte. Scaling capacity, performance and platform, the BlackPearl NAS allows users to easily and affordably manage large files while planning for the future. It delivers a complete array of storage and interface options for ultimate flexibility, including: Flash drives, Enterprise SAS drives, and Archive SATA drives – all supported simultaneously. To ensure content is protected, BlackPearl NAS was designed with three levels of protection RAID Z1, Z2 and Z3, global spare drives, redundant power, hot pair, and intelligent drive rebuild. BlackPearl NAS can also replicate itself using asynchronous replication to another BlackPearl NAS, creating a second copy of stored data for a higher level of data assurance.

Unique to the BlackPearl NAS system, is the ability to upgrade the solution with Spectra’s TranScale feature, at any time, to a BlackPearl Converged Storage System, an object storage solution that leverages multiple storage tiers. BlackPearl NAS is innovative because it is the ONLY NAS with three levels of field upgradability, allowing users to start small and plan for the future. Performance upgrades leverage flash-only pools for increased speed; capacity upgrades enable users to scale up to 10.7PB in a single rack; and platform upgrade capabilities allow users to easily TranScale BlackPearl NAS to a BlackPearl Converged Storage System. By upgrading BlackPearl NAS to BlackPearl Converged Storage System, a user’s traditional file system files (CIFS/NFS) can be passed through BlackPearl as object storage to additional near-line disk, archive disk with spin-down capability, digital tape, cloud, a replicated copy to another BlackPearl, or any combination of those storage options – all without requiring expensive middleware.

DataCore FileFly transparently moves cold or less frequently accessed data from primary storage environments to DataCore Swarm, Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or any S3-compatible archive storage. Simply select the level of file data movement based on business requirements. Then, reap the benefits of consolidating data on a single platform that ensures data can be easily accessed, regardless of whether it’s on-premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid environment.

Migrated files remain accessible from the same folders as before, but their contents are tucked away in lower cost object storage. In this way, even legacy Windows applications can leverage the extended capacity. Their data is automatically recalled to primary storage only in the case the file is opened.

MediaScaleX // Storage is a software-defined, object storage platform that unifies online, nearline and archive storage into a single, shared, scalable cluster.  It enables Media businesses to simplify and cost-reduce storage operations.

With a single UI into an exabyte-ready environment, and the ability to simultaneously store multiple pools of data in file (NFS, SMB) and object (S3, Rados, Swift) formats, MediaScaleX // Storage is one of a kind.  Critical data protection functions like erasure-coding and data scrubbing are standard features to support data integrity and long-term retention.  While in-built support for NVMe, SSD and HDD technologies enables clusters to respond to multiple performance requirements.  Using the open Ceph storage engine at its core, MediaScaleX // Storage is hardened, robust, flexible and above-all built for scale.

Launched in 2015 to address Multi Service Operators' requirements for cloud DVR storage, MediaScaleX // Storage was designed from the ground up to combine high intensity ingest, record and playout processes with the need for deep archiving of VOD and customer-recorded content.  This same solution supports any Media business to unify islands of storage into simpler, more scalable systems.  And with high-performance integration with the MediaScaleX // Origin platform, content can be streamed on demand from any part of the storage cluster.

As Broadcasters and Post-Production operations target storage simplification, more workflow agility and cloud-compatibility, object storage is becoming more important.  MediaScaleX // Storage provides cloud capabilities in an on-premise platform to allow Media businesses to easily scale and manage storage as requirements evolve.

Collaboration drives media workflows. Centralizing assets into streamlined shared storage helps media organizations drive collaboration, accelerate production and reduced costs by eliminating separate “silos” of video assets. Centralized storage can help unlock collaborative tools and processes that allow artists, systems and broadcast engineers to leverage common stored assets whether on premises or in hybrid cloud workflows. Dell EMC PowerScale builds on the legacy of Isilon to offer a consolidated, collaborative storage environment that enables concurrent, real-time collaboration with multi-protocol access, integration with key partner software and easy search across multiple storage methods.
