Data Sharing Hindered by Information Silos

Production and broadcasting systems require data sharing throughout the program production process, in order to link ingesting, editing, cutting, dubbing, compositing, backup broadcasting, and broadcasting as a whole to eliminate information silos, increase production efficiency, and prevent resource waste.

Business Development Restricted by System Scalability

As existing businesses grow and new businesses emerge, the storage and network expansion becomes the bottleneck of business development. An open and sustainable system architecture is the key to success.

Soaring O&M Costs

Chief IT systems are provided by different vendors, resulting in complex and expensive O&M.

Overview

The HUAWEI New Generation IP-Based Storage Solution is based on the agile and flexible cloud platform and employs the industry-leading OceanStor clustered NAS storage system and next-generation data center cloud switch CloudEngine to support the rapid business growth and IT expansion of TV stations. This solution enables resource sharing within a TV station, which makes it easier to obtain resources and also improves production efficiency.

Components

• HUAWEI OceanStor Mass Storage
• HUAWEI CloudEngine Series Switches

• Convergent: This solution brings into full play Huawei's distinct advantages in the network and storage fields. It optimizes advanced features, such as dynamic storage tiering (DST), quality of service (QoS) enhancement, one-click deployment, and unified management to ensure service reliability, resource sharing, and production efficiency increase.
• Flexible: The switch stacking and virtual system (VS) technologies help build a flat network resource pool that provides a switching capability of 64 TB and 1152 access ports. The fully distributed scale-out architecture allows a single file system to manage a maximum of 40 PB storage space and to reach 5 million OPS and 170 GB/s bandwidth. System capacity and performance can increase on demand. Moreover, performance increases linearly with the number of nodes. The scalability of up to 288 nodes is a lot higher than that of the next best in the industry.
• Simple: The all-IP architecture design and convenient eSight unified management simplify the O&M of IT infrastructure. This unique energy-efficient technology helps the system cut power consumption by up to 70%, dramatically reducing the operating expense (OPEX).
