| Internet-related technologies are a dominant force influencing the design of media infrastructures. The trio of Ethernet/IP networking, computer servers, and clustered storage is reducing workflow casts and improving agility.
When this combination is used in the media enterprise, a media infrastructure is insulated from technology cycles. This "future-proofing" means that new workflows are possible, and allows an organisation to explore business opportunities not possible with current, static infrastructures.
This eBook compares traditional media infrastructures like coax-based Serial Digital Interface (SDI), AES3 digital audio, and Fibre Channel for storage access to Ethernet/IP, and provides a framework for engineers that are contemplating incorporating IP into their workflows.
It is the first article in a series on the hottest trends impacting storage strategies in the media and entertainment industries. The series was commissioned by Dell EMC and developed by Al Kovalick—an active speaker, educator, and author in media technology. | |
