Media production is global business. Productions are spread between multiple facilities in various geographies. Often, locations each have their own silos of storage, such as high-performance PowerScale file storage. Meanwhile, the organization might use a massive object store (private ECS or public cloud) as the central storage core. In addition to these shared-storage repositories, data may be at remote locations on internal direct attached storage. These parts come together to form a data ecosystem.
Orchestrating data movement to make sure that the right files are where they need to be at the right time is a serious undertaking. Successfully moving production assets has implications that directly impact budgets and production timelines.
