Storage Powering M&E Workflows
by Gavin Sutton, Head of Marketing
MPTS is just around the corner, and as the media and entertainment industry prepare to descend upon Kensington once more, we look at how customers can manage their content and data from lens through to legacy. As data growth continues to surge in the industry, your customers face constant pressure to store, manage and access massive amounts of data in the most efficient way possible. In the blog we explore the challenges of data management and the solutions that can streamline media workflows.
Remote Possibilities: Media in Motion.
Media production can take customers to all areas of the world, sometimes capturing content in the most remote of places. This can prove to be a massive headache when transferring data back to the central storage location, with slow and cumbersome transport methods that put that content at risk.
Seagate Lyve Mobile is a high-capacity, secure, storage device that allows your customers to transport mass amounts of data from production sites back to post-production. This portable solution has been designed for professionals in the field, allowing them to move footage seamlessly without losing a frame.
A Capacity for Content
It’s no exaggeration that your M&E customers are stuck in an endless battle to manage the sheer volume of data that’s being generated within their businesses. High-resolution formats like 4K, 8K, and beyond require immense storage capacity, while rapid content distribution and real-time editing demand high-performance access.
Seagate’s Exos M HDDs deliver massive storage capacity in a compact form factor, ensuring that large-scale media libraries can be managed efficiently. Designed for durability and performance, these drives are ideal for environments where reliability and uptime are critical. Whether it’s raw footage, finished projects, or distribution-ready assets, Exos M HDDs offer the scalability M&E professionals need to keep up with growing data demands.
Data-Centric. Datacenter.
Media and entertainment companies need infrastructure that can integrate seamlessly into their production and post-production environments. If storage isn’t optimised for high-performance media workflows, production can come to a grinding hault. With large-scale projects often involving multiple workstations, remote teams, and on-demand access to vast content libraries, M&E customers don’t just need storage, they need high-speed, scalable and collaborative infrastructure that work seamlessly with their creative tools.
Seagate’s Exos E Series JBODs and SAN solutions provide the high-performance, shared storage M&E companies need to streamline workflows. These solutions are designed to deliver ultra-fast data access and high-bandwidth transfer speeds, ensuring that editors, animators, and VFX artists can work with large media files in real-time. Whether supporting high-throughput editing bays or large-scale asset management, Seagate’s enterprise storage helps M&E teams stay productive without interuption.
