Vietnamese TV Station Installed Infortrend to Modernize Media Asset Management

Infortrend Technology, Inc., in cooperation with its partner, Mega Media Services Corporation, assisted Hau Giang Radio and Television Station, Vietnam’s local broadcasting station, deploy EonStor DS series  for modernizing the MAM (media asset management) and database system with benefits of efficiency and scalability.

Facing the challenges of fast-growing data volumes as its broadcasting business grows, the station needed to enhance system performance to handle the heavy database workload. Infortrend provided HA SAN storage-EonStor DS Family solution to help it build a new MAM system with higher throughput that can facilitate smooth media workflow from ingestion, transcoding, editing, and archiving. In addition, it provided a management tool SANWatch software to simplify data management of IT operations.

To address the growing need for storage capacity and faster network speeds, the customer selected EonStor DS 3000/4000 series, featuring the high-bandwidth protocol with a maximum data throughput of 11,000/5,500MB/s R/W performance, and IO/s of 700,000, to process heavy I/O workloads and boost productivity. The solutions include 3 units of EonStor DS 4016 for the MAM system via 16Gb FC. Besides MAM, 2 units of EonStor DS 3016, supporting multiple and random real-time inquiries/transactions from clients, were installed for the database application. As a result, the company can access its database safeguarded by data protection functions, and the staff can collaborate and concurrently on the SAN storage solutions. Infortrend has enabled the customer to streamline their managing workflow, save on time and costs, and let the staff focus on important missions to ensure maximum productivity.

“We are honoured that Vietnamese TV Station has chosen the EonStor DS SAN storage solution for optimizing their MAM and database solution,” said Frank Lee, senior director of product planning. “Exceptional SAN transmission performance, high-bandwidth protocol, high scalability, and intuitive management software support, – those are the reasons why they selected our enterprise storage to enhance system performance and efficiency.“
