Harmonic and EVS Ink OEM Agreement, Setting New Standard for High-Performance Nearline Storage
"Harmonic truly understands the bandwidth and processing demands of video, and our customers will greatly benefit from the MediaGrid system's fully distributed scale-out architecture and simplified approach to managing storage capacity," said
XStore is based on a fully redundant and highly scalable architecture, with solutions starting at 28TB in 6RU and scaling up to 500TB when higher capacities are needed. With its high-density form factor, the XStore platform provides users with valuable space-saving benefits.
With MediaGrid technology powering the new XStore platform, EVS can now support the entire media asset workflow, including ingest, playout, archive, edit-in-place, transcoding and OTT adaptive bitrate streaming; with a cost-effective solution that is simple to deploy, manage and scale. MediaGrid is purpose-built from the ground up to deliver high bandwidth and consistent low latency for video.
"The XStore brand has been trusted in production and sports production markets for many years, and Harmonic looks forward to bringing the powerful capabilities of MediaGrid storage to those EVS customers," said
The XStore system will be rolled out in a number of installations including several upcoming major global sporting events in 2018. One of the first public demonstrations of the system will be at IBC2017 where the in-house TV channel, IBC TV, will use it for the production of live content throughout the show.
