tiers enabling content distribution, collaboration,
data protection and disaster recovery. In fact, the
file system can provide a unified storage reposi-
tory for all content, allowing facilities to take
advantage of a single-namespace NAS/SAN with
IP and Fibre Channel connectivity optimized for
centralized media creation and distribution. Using
this approach, a media organization can eliminate
the cost of managing and maintaining multiple
storage silos, streamline the overall storage envi-
ronment, and ensure that each client within each
workflow stage gets the type and degree of con-
nectivity it requires.
In addition to offering greater performance, flex-
ibility and efficiency than ever, NAS solutions are
also opening the door to exciting new opportuni-
ties with respect to data management and pro-
cessing. The integration of artificial intelligence
(AI) capabilities, for example, into media storage
empowers users to unlock unprecedented value
from their assets. Performing automated metada-
ta extraction, AI-powered cognitive engines can
quickly uncover specific events, objects, faces,
words and sentiments that make content timely,
relevant and valuable.
Conclusion
Powerful workflow storage platforms supporting
enhanced scale-out NAS are e
