Leading software-defined storage and data management solution
provider, pixitmedia, a Kalray company, and
Lenovo, the Fortune Global 500 technology powerhouse, are
now offering a cost-effective and ultra-scalable cloud-enabled
hyper-converged solution to the Media and Entertainment industry.
Hyper-converged, or HCI, unites pixitmedia’s award-winning
software, pixstor™ with ngenea®, with Lenovo’s smart solutions into
a single appliance, with guaranteed performance suitable for a
multitude of Media and Entertainment workflows.
Historically, studios have depended on storage products supplied
by major data appliance vendors. Most vendors are either yet to
evolve cloud-based solutions or offer very limited cloud
capabilities. This is restrictive and limits the flexibility of
media creation companies as their businesses grow and content
delivery models change. Having a hyper-converged infrastructure
gives studios the freedom to choose where to grow their
capabilities, whether it be on-premise or in the cloud. Those
working remotely should have the same experience as those who
choose to work on-premises and vice versa. For companies operating
virtual workstations, this is a vital part of the workflow, and it
is where dynamic data management can bring huge benefits. A
hyper-converged approach allows creative media businesses to stay
agile and keep infrastructure costs low by virtualising key
elements of conventional “hardware-defined” systems.
“pixitmedia and Lenovo liberate Media and Entertainment
businesses from being locked into restrictive data environments.
Studios that are able to quickly adjust infrastructure, keep up
with productivity and meet content demands, are able to stay
competitive. A hyper-converged approach enables creative media
businesses of any size to stay agile and keep infrastructure costs
lower" explains Ben Leaver, EVP of Business Development,
pixitmedia.
“The Media and Entertainment sector is a complex and exciting
industry and Lenovo is committed to working with partners to create
solutions which offer customers value. In collaboration with
pixitmedia we’ve developed a solution which makes it easy for
companies in this sector to deploy a hyper-converged environment.”
says Ian Jeffs, UK and Ireland General Manager, Lenovo
Infrastructure Solutions Group.
The collaboration between pixitmedia and Lenovo has resulted in
a Hyperconverged solution that guarantees customers complete
control of their data. All users can see and access the same data
securely, enabling rock-solid collaboration between multiple
creative sites. The solution enables businesses a simplistic
transition to cloud and hybrid ways of working with no disruption
to existing workflows and no compromise on security, whilst
delivering guaranteed ultra-fast performance. For ultimate
flexibility, the pixitmedia HCI solution works with any cloud
provider over a multitude of production workflows, giving the
customer the flexibility to scale up or down according to projects.
pixitmedia, a global leader in cloud-workflow solutions for Media
and Entertainment, has already deployed multiple hybrid solutions
to over 20 global media production and distribution companies.
The solution works seamlessly across multiple operating systems
and leverages cloud providers’ networks for ultra-high-speed data
transfers, businesses can easily expand on-premises pipelines into
the cloud with a software-defined solution such as pixstor™, while
still enjoying the guaranteed sustained collaboration, performance,
scalability and intelligent management tools of an on-premises
deployment. Supported by ngenea®, an intelligent data transport
mechanism, business experiences can be tightly integrated
on-premises, and cloud infrastructure integrated under a single
namespace.
By adopting integrated cloud solutions such as ngenea® and
pixstor™, media creation businesses will have everything that they
need, from on-premises to remote working and everything in between.
pixitmedia also offers an upgrade path for the HCI solution to
scale-out NAS as your business grows to give customers that added
flexibility for the future.
Working together with Lenovo is about driving business forward
and empowering customer workflows. Hyper-converged infrastructure
offers scalability and agility, optimised performance and
collaboration and the option to reduce costs. In simple terms, it
gives media enterprises more choices, more collaborative
efficiencies and more freedom than ever before.
