  8. Unique Data Protection Challenges

  9. Data Protection Challenges • Workflow Process for Production and Broadcasting • Rapid flow of large amounts of data • Collaborative workgroups • Shared access • Industry with Tight Deadlines • Data immediately available when required • Archiving is important • Reliable, quick recovery is more important • Exponential Growth of Data Sets • Increase in size and rate of creation • HD data requiring 6 times more storage • Security • Protection of digital assets • Theft, natural disasters, user error

  10. Data Lifecycle & Workflow

  11. Data Workflow and Lifecycle Transparent and Continuous Access to Data File is moved to archive Data saved to disk Data archived to tape Archive recovered from tape Data created or ingested Start Time Weeks/Months Delivery Years Days/Weeks Minutes/hours Creation /Capture Initial Processing Short Term Archiving Editing/Processing Various Formats Long Term Archiving Tape Storage Tape Storage Disk Storage Primary Storage Cheap/Secure long term storage media Expensive disk More affordable tape Expensive disk

  12. Data Workflow Analysis • Workflow Analysis • Archive process cannot disrupt workflow • Transparency is key • Key product features to support workflow • Impact to deadlines • Availability • Analysis of Data Set Size Today • Minimum requirements • Data Set Size Requirements Going Forward • Scalability of system a key factor • Don’t get locked into a hardware or sw platform • Flexible licensing structure

  13. Implementation Examples

  14. TV Broadcast Customer • High availability • Unusual timeframe for storyboarding entire episode • Tight deadlines • Archive process cannot impact workflow • Quick point-in-time restore • 4 incremental backups per day • Complete system backup takes < ½ day • Ease of use with search

  15. Large Scale Digital Film Laboratory • Short & Long Term Archiving • Data ingested to SAN • Migrated to tape (2-3 weeks) • Short Term Archive • When editorial team is ready, data can be recovered quickly • Minimal impact to production workflow • Once finished, data archived to tape • Long Term Archiving

  16. Creative Advertising Agency • 24 X 7 Facility • Offline Video • Online video • Libraries of music and sound effects • Typical Archive Contains > 20TB of Data • Small windows to perform archive operation • Archive Data • Duplicate on-site and off-site tapes • Immediate retrieval • Disaster Recovery

  17. Summary

  18. Summary • Solution should facilitate and streamline workflow • Automated, transparent processes • Tailor environment to data lifecycle • Stay ahead of rate of content creation & processing • Control costs of increases in storage needs • Fast access to data regardless of media type • Flexible solutions for heterogeneous data centers • Archive of business and media data
