MAXIMIZING MEDIA MANAGEMENT, ANYWHERE
Averting Data
Disasters
The amount of data created in the next three years is expected to surpass the amount of data developed in the last three decades, according to a 2020 International Data Corporation (IDC) report. This statistic should come as no surprise to production and post studios, where managing project files with increasing image resolution and wider color gamut, and the accompanying metadata they carry, is just part of the job description. Yet, an ever-growing consumer demand for content is pressuring facilities to find new, smarter ways to structure data to make it simpler and more efficient to leverage in-progress and archived assets.
Seeing firsthand how unwieldy data management has become for customers across media and entertainment, especially in the face of an unprecedented content boom, AJA began exploring ways it might help, ultimately finding its answer in data analytics software creator Diskover Data. Although AJA has a proven track record of partnering with M&E solutions providers to develop specialized technology that meets industry needs, its partnership with Diskover marks a first for the company, with AJA taking an equity stake in the company and launching AJA Diskover Media Edition. With open-source roots, the new software offering makes it easy to search, find, and analyze media asset data originating from on-premises, remote, and cloud storage, so that users can make more informed data decisions.

The Data Drain Explained “Problems keeping data up to date cost
businesses over $600 billion per year.” - SOURCE: TDWI
Modern file sizes and metadata require increasing amounts of data storage for production, prompting production and post studios to keep a watchful eye on resources so as to not strain budgets or capabilities. Keeping track of fluctuating storage usage and needs can be incredibly difficult for companies with multiple volume types, including cloud-based storage, which has become an asset for providing immediate access to storage capacity and on-demand scalability. Almost more important than data storage capacity is data storage efficiency, which solutions providers are helping to address through technology.
One of the ways AJA
Diskover Media Edition helps mitigate data disasters is by providing a single master index. Hundreds of petabytes of data in disparate locations can be easily indexed in parallel, to a highly searchable centralized master index database. This makes it easy to find and analyze files
