Power Behind the Storage
Target Markets
The ATTO FastStream Storage Appliance is a flexible
solution for many markets. Targets which benefit
most from the FastStream are those which deal with
Broadcast, Production and Post in the Digital Video
and Audio content creation markets.
User Scenarios
There are many target customers who would benefit
from using the FastStream Storage Controller. Some
examples may include:
•
Production Supervisors or Independent
Producers.
Management personnel who would
like to eliminate the loss of production content
during the editing process to avoid costly re-
editing.
•
IT Manager, CIO or CTO of Post Production
houses.
These customers who would like to add
storage to the current infrastructure while
preserving an existing storage investment.
Moving storage away from workstations to
eliminate noise and heat is also attractive. When
storage is added, these target customers would
like to keep it simple as possible with a central
point of management for storage.
•
Educational Institutions
with Film/Visual Arts
programs and Audio/Video Editing facilities.
•
Post Production rental companies
that rent
Editing systems for television and film
production. Customers of these rental
companies would have a hardship if a disk
system fails requiring them to re-digitize lost
assets and entail additional equipment rental
time.
•
Current Audio editors
looking to add data
protection to existing non-RAID protected
storage while adding the ability to remotely
access digital audio editing sessions, improving
the existing workflow and performance.
•
Recording Studios
who work with
multiple audio editing projects with large track
counts.
•
Audio/Video Editors.
Professionals who would
like the ability to quickly share digital video and
audio at multiple editing stations. These editors
currently use direct attached storage and would
like to increase the speed at which large files
transfer between workstations while providing
improved version tracking.
•
Any customer engaged in creating and editing
digital video content such as feature films,
newsroom archives, video on demand,
commercials, training videos and music CD’s.
Additional customers may include
production
companies, animation studios, television
studios, corporate film and video companies
.
