Media Data Center – The path to performance & efficiency in the media workflow
September 28th, 2010 @ 12 pm EST
The Cisco Media Data Center is a video-optimized network and data center infrastructure that provides the foundation for digital media workflows. Instead of running each application on its own island, it provides a common high-performance, high-capacity server and storage architecture. This live webcast, that will be a part of the Building Media Networks with IT Solutions Virtual Event, will focus on tests done by CandIT-media, an independent research institute, and will demonstrate how implementing media services on a virtualized media data center mounted on clustered central storage, dramatically simplifies data flows compared with today's common file-based media architectures.
