"Written especially for IT professionals involved in video production and multimedia management, this volume examines in detail the requirements of digital video and media professionals and the robust, secure and scalable storage solutions available to them. Beginning with overview material on server types, buses, disks and physical mediums, the work proceeds through a practical discussion of media specific storage issues including trans-coding and wrappers, multi-user IP storage, archives and backups, metadata and media asset management, clustering and resilience and virtualization. The work includes illustrations and tables and access to a companion website is provided."--Reference and Research Book News
"Complex media storage computer systems are employed to capture, store and retrieve moving media content on systems that will preserve the original integrity of the content over time and technological transition. This book provides detailed information related to the concepts, applications, implementation and interfaces of video file servers, intelligent storage systems, media asset management services, content distribution networks, and mission critical platforms. A tutorial and case example approach is taken to facilitate a thorough understanding of the technologies, using numerous illustrations, tables and examples.
