Broadcast studios, film production and distribution companies, digital asset management groups, and other providers and processors of digital content are generating more digital data than ever before. In fact, industry analysts estimate that by 2015, the volume of professionally generated digital content will reach approximately four exabytes (10 to the 18th bytes). In addition, higher resolution digital formats such as HD require more storage capacity than the counterparts they replaced. These issues coupled with the volumes of legacy analog content that must be converted to digital format prior to archiving have compelled the media and entertainment industry to look for better, more cost-effective ways to process, store, retrieve, backup, and manage their growing volume of digital data.
