Chinese TV Station JNTV With Infortrend Storage Systems

Jinan Television (JNTV), a Chinese television station known for its popular TV news and programs, entrusted Infortrend Technology, Inc. storage systems as a solution to meet all its storage requirements from ingestion and editing, to creation and broadcasting.

In order to deliver the best service to its audience, JNTV deployed the latest technologies, such as multiple DNS Satellite News Gathering (SNG) vehicle and newsroom, as well as digitally storing news for better editing and broadcasting. However, with their TV show portfolio growing by the day, their data growth was exceeding expectations.

Understanding JNTV’s requirements, Infortrend provided them with storage systems offering compatibility with their existing equipment and expansion demands. For general editing, EonStor DS 1016 with its high R/W performance and ability to handle multiple demanding media workstations was the good choice. Meanwhile for Apple system, EonNAS 3016 NAS was good as well. With the goal to achieve 24×7 non-stop playback, the program contents are stored in Infortrend systems combined with MDC (Windows server serving as client storage for R/W).

“So far, we have 5-6 channels using Infortrend systems,” said JNTV. “We are very happy with the performance and high efficiency that Infortrend storage offered JNTV,” mentioned the system integrator. “We recommend Infortrend storage because of its great compatibility, steady performance and the variety of systems on offer that can better meet JNTV’s needs.“
