Networked storage for the broadcaster or newsroom must be reliable enough to support the 24/7 demands, and flexible enough to support the end to end media workflow tools required to make this environment flow. As the central architecture for the ingest and playout of media, editing, asset management and archive, the centralized networked storage plays a critical role.

Quick and simple availability to news content or other media from various newsrooms, broadcast groups, or media stations encourages creative flexibility and heightens productivity. This requires you to consider whether you are willing to deal with the limitations of a closed proprietary solution or prefer a platform that expands your options due to the use of standards based protocols.

To further enhance this environment, the networked storage must have the speed and features to fully support the more demanding editing requirements of your creative team using applications from vendors Avid, Adobe, Apple, Edius and more.
