BT TV content finds a home in MatrixStore, a system designed to ensure petabytes of content are available. By Philip Stevens
BRITISH TELECOM’s BT TV platform provides video- on-demand to its broadband customers across the UK. Content, which is ingested from various networks, is required both to be protected and available for transcoding into a number of formats for future delivery to customers. Until recently, VoD content
was protected in a large LTO tape robot, but this made access to the material slow and cumbersome. As a result, BT needed an upgrade that could provide instant access to the content and re-purpose while requiring little or no administrative management. But the upgrade criteria
didn’t end there. The non- proprietary solution needed to integrate with existing MAM solutions/ systems and future workflows. In addition, it needed to be secure from accidental or malicious deletion, be scalable, and be future proof from hardware obsolescence. BT’s intense scrutiny of the
market revealed MatrixStore from Object Matrix offered the best solution. The package was supplied and supported by the company’s reseller, Root6. “MatrixStore is designed to ensure petabytes of digital content are available online with minimal effort,” explains
BT TV’s MAM solution manages the ingest of content into MatrixStore for long-term protection The existing MAM solution “BT TV
media is fully accounted
for, safe and secure” Peter Baker, BT
Nick Pearce, co-founder and sales director, Object Matrix. “This makes it perfectly suited to video on demand or distribution workflows.” He continues, “By working
for several years on the BT TV platform, Object Matrix has proven its ability to grow live installations and incorporate new technology without causing disruption to service.”
manages the ingest of high resolution content into MatrixStore for long-term protection. That content is then transcoded and protected in a MatrixStore vault for future delivery via playout servers or other platforms. Pearce continues,
“MatrixStore is specifically designed for applications where there is an increasing focus on internal and external compliance requirements around data protection, authenticity and access.” The MatrixStore technology
ensures that data cannot be deleted before its time — not even with administrator access. Also, data stored as fixed content cannot be modified. It provides an audit log that tracks all operations, both administrative and data. The digest is calculated during data storage,
and the system ensures that the data is bitwise exactly the same when played out. Periodic validation of the content also provides a guarantee. The built-in database can support many searches per second across hundreds of millions of database entries. Data entered into the store is referenced with numerous keywords to enable web style search. “MatrixStore’s API has
allowed us to fully integrate with our wider MAM environment, thereby avoiding content management via the traditional file system approach. Replication has allowed us to
effortlessly back-up our most valued assets, and plug-and-play scalability has really delivered on its promise to allow us to expand seamlessly. In short, BT TV media is fully accounted for, safe and secure,” concludes Peter Baker, head of operations, Digital Media, BT.
