Multimedia catalogues use object storage to balance volume and cost.
Object Storage for storing and distributing content
With object storage, data is stored as standalone devices called “objects”. Each of these objects consists of the data, a unique identifier and the associated metadata. A typical use case for object storage is for catalogues of documents handled by applications, which provide static content including images, text files, tables, audio or video. Object storage is ideal for the optimal deployment of content catalogue applications.
Entertainment companies (particularly video streaming companies) have very high capacity requirements so that they can store, transcode, secure and stream increasingly large amounts of content - up to thousands of terabytes or hundreds of petabytes. They therefore need a guaranteed high read-write performance for their platforms to work properly.
