"ESS offers a number of solutions of particular interest to those involved with digital video production, capture, and storage. Many of our clients produce and edit video digitally. Others are in the business of providing video monitoring for security purposes. Regardless of the exact application, digital video offers some interesting storage challenges.
Raw Performance
For applications such as HDTV video editing and large-scale digital video surveillance, you simply need raw speed. In some cases you can achieve suitable performance with expensive disk arrays, high-end NAS servers, or solid state storage devices, but you might also achieve this by aggregating inexpensive RAID devices with the appropriate RAID technology or management software.
High Performance File Sharing
File system I/O is often the final bottleneck in video editing and image capture applications. Using the latest parallel file system technology, we can design file sharing systems that can deliver linear scalability both in performance and capacity.
Video Archiving
Video archives are different from other archives in that stored files tend to be very large and, once data has been retrieved from the archive, it must be accessible at very high speeds. We solve this problem in a number of ways, either by combining high speed file sharing solutions with back end archiving solutions, or simply by storing all archival data on relatively high performance media such as spinning disk or SAIT tape.
