The HUAWEI Video Production Storage Solution is based on storage platforms that Huawei developed and integrates the advanced port technologies and flexible performance control mechanism. Huawei provides customers with an intelligent and convergent storage solution to provide the high storage performance and safe data sharing that HD video production requires. This solution helps customers cut the total cost of ownership (TCO), simplify IT infrastructure, and achieve business success.
Limited Bearing Capability of Traditional IT Architecture
Higher bit rate of materials and more diversified cutting techniques and special effects cause picture freeze and frame loss in the editing process, which lowers production efficiency.
Contradiction Between Data Security and Data Sharing
The production system requires that data security and integrity be safeguarded while data is being circulated and shared in other workflows to maximize the value of media assets.

- Superb performance: A single system provides a stable bandwidth of 6 GB/s, supporting concurrent connections from 80 HD workstations (6 simultaneous streams each, 100 Mbit/s) or 320 SD workstations (6 simultaneous streams each, 25 Mbit/s). This solution is the first in the industry to support 16 Gbit/s Fibre Channel and 12 Gbit/s SAS port technologies, addressing customers' business growth requirements in three or four years ahead.
- Safe data sharing: Shared access is available for mainstream non-linear editing (NLE) software programs, such as Mac Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and Adobe Premiere. The permission control policy is mature enough to protect data access.
- Robust reliability: The multi-node active-active clustering technology eliminates single points of failure and the multi-level data protection technology helps ensure business continuity. In addition, this solution supports online upgrade and online parts replacement.
