CatDV: The Best MAM Ever for Avid Editors?

There are so many burning questions for anyone responsible for building an efficient, performant storage workflow for creative and production teams. Like 'How do I provide enough performance for demanding, and growing teams? When content is locked and handed off, now what - how can I protect it economically yet retrieve it quickly when they need ’that shot from last season’? 

As they say, the road to ‘production hell’ is paved with good intentions - picking something cheap or ‘good enough’ now can become a nightmare later as the team grows, or you land an ambitious project where you want to show your best work. 

In this session, we’ll cover some of the pitfalls of many ‘cheap enough or good enough’ solutions, and show you a path to a system that delivers exactly the mix of performance, protection, and budget you need to help your organization grow, and limit the number of sleepless nights you spend worrying about your storage including:

- Hot: where does Flash fit in my workflow, when do I need it versus a ‘really nice to have?’ Can I get the same performance with HDD based systems? How do they compare?
- Cold: is Cloud a good choice to store archived projects and assets? Is ‘object storage’ on-site better and why? When should I consider on-site object storage instead of public cloud?

Running Hot & Cold: Building Efficient, Performant Storage Workflows for Growth

This rise of AI, deep learning, and modern demanding workflows has changed storage and infrastructure requirements. Organizations must have powerful solutions that can fuel demanding AI and data science workloads (hot data) on the front end, integrated with low-cost, secure private clouds to archive the massive amounts of data (cold data) to train these models on the back end—all while keeping data protected and secure. 

Data continually flows along the hot-to-cold continuum, and the infrastructure supporting this lifecycle must be flexible, automated, and simple to manage to keep up with the ever-changing nature of this data. 

Learn how AI is evolving the landscape of storage and infrastructure requirements, and the considerations for storing and managing hot and cold data to fuel AI initiatives.

Hot-to-Cold Data Management: Infrastructure Requirements in the Age of AI

In today's world, it is crucial that your unstructured data is not only stored securely and reliably, but is also always available when and where it is needed – in a cost-effective and energy-efficient way. 

From high-performance storage for “hot” data to backup appliances and object storage for data protection through to long-term archiving of “cold” inactive data - in this talk, we will present practical solutions for comprehensive data management across the entire lifecycle.

Our topics:
* Overcoming known challenges such as data growth, increasing complexity and budget restrictions
* Additional requirements driven by sustainability, AI applications, cyber threats and much more
* The “Data Factory” - from rapid data ingestion to long-term, cost-effective and secure data storage

Today, virtual production has come of age and the industry is now able to take advantage of the savings, flexibility and visual advances that the technology presents.

All the elements that go into virtual production  are advancing rapidly, from displays to lenses, cameras and graphics. Along with displays, the other main driver for making virtual production work is data, which is crucial in such media processes as asset creation, motion capture, real-time rendering, camera tracking and performance capture.

In a recent survey of the film and TV industry, 40% of respondents said they are using virtual production on current projects and half said they are likely to do so in the next 18 to 24 months.

Simply put, without advances in displays and data, virtual production would be impossible. In this EcoCast, we’ll explore how broadcasters can use these advances to streamline virtual production to save time and money.
