NAB: DDN’s MEDIAScaler and WOS Certified With Dalet Media Systems

DataDirect Networks, Inc. (DDN) announced that it has certified its MEDIAScaler and WOS storage solutions with Dalet Digital Media Systems, a provider of media asset management and workflow orchestration, to simplify management of Ultra HD broadcast workflows at scale.

The combination of DDN Storage solutions and the Dalet Galaxy platform streamline complex workflows, delivering a simplified management approach for creative content at scale. DDN’s approach to solving the complex I/O requirements through a combination of file and object storage solutions along with the Dalet Galaxy platform allows customers to centralize storage and drive production, asset management and mult-platform distribution from an integrated solution.

In an industry that is moving to converge IT and broadcast infrastructure, DDN is positioned to deliver the level of performance and QoS required by broadcast operations using 10/40/100GigE networks.

The certified solution simplifies integration projects by delivering the performance of a SAN, without its complexity and cost over a standard networking infrastructure.  

“We are confident that customers deploying our powerful workflow orchestration and content management solutions on top of DDN storage platforms will be able to maximize the value of their investment with flexible and scalable platforms designed for optimized cost-performance ratio on every tier,” said Eran Binyamin Zeitoun, solutions infrastructure and integration services manager, Dalet.

MEDIAScaler platform and WOS object storage solutions have the flexibility and power to accelerate concurrent media workflows and offer end-to-end digital content management from ingest and processing to collaboration and long-term archiving. DDN systems are built to withstand the demands of data ingest, from demanding sources, to distribution to a range of technologies and future workloads.

“DDN has unique media expertise and a long history of providing the best performing, most stable storage platforms for media and entertainment workflows,” said Paul Bloch, DDN president and co-founder. “Our alignment and certification with Dalet solutions enable users to benefit from the joint innovation of both companies, providing complete broadcast solutions.“
