Accelerate Immersive Content Creation: Add Rivers and Oceans to Your Data Lake
The need to produce higher-resolution, more immersive content in increasingly shorter timelines is becoming the new normal in post-production. Over the past several years organizations have learned of the massive benefit of creating a centralized storage environment to support these demands, but that is only one step of many. Modern storage solutions must go beyond the data lake to deliver both performance and cost-efficiency across an entire end-to-end workflow. This talk will explore how such a solution can be architected, informed by insights gained from real world customer deployments, newly conducted storage surveys, and rigorous testing of 4K reference architectures.
Jason Coari is a veteran in the technical computing industry, having a 15 year career in senior sales and marketing positions across the globe at both hardware and software organizations. Currently, he is Director, Scale-out Storage Solutions at Quantum, a leading provider of high-performance and archive storage solutions to the media and entertainment industry. In his current role, Jason is responsible for leading the companyÕs commercial strategy for scale-out storage across all industries. Previous to Quantum Storage, he worked in a variety of global roles at SGI, most notably directing HPC and M&E product marketing strategy and leading the European and APAC marketing organizations.
This event brings together digital storage providers, equipment and software manufacturers and professional media and entertainment end users to explore the conference theme of "Enabling Immersive Content: Storage Takes Off." At CS 2018 you can find out the latest developments in digital storage for media and entertainment, find out how other media professionals meet their digital storage needs and network with other industry professionals.
