Archive / Digital Storage

Managing the storage and archive of digital assets is one of the most difficult issues facing the media industry. The rate of new digital material being generated everyday is staggering, not to mention the years of existing material that came before it. Making it more complex is the media industry's move to all digital acquisition formats like Compact Flash and SD Cards for DSLR's; P2, XDCAMHD, RED, and various other digital formats for video and film acquisition.

With this comes an even more perplexing issue: Where and how can it be stored? With so many choices nowadays for storage options, it's hard to cut through what is the most effective and secure way to store these digital assets. There is no single "best" approach. It is generally a mixture of several practices, depending on the level of accessibility that is needed as well as the level of redundancy desired.
