The project
For the second year in a row, SEM Devs ran the media crew's data management at Kappa FuturFestival in Turin. Twelve video and photo editors worked at the same time on one enterprise all-flash NVMe hot storage, attached over a 40 Gbit fiber link, editing straight on the volume with no local copies. The network was built on fiber optic, with three switches, all at 40 Gbit. At the end of each shift every card was offloaded at our desk with integrity verification, and every file was replicated onto two more independent SSD NAS units, so there were three copies of every asset at any moment and no single point of failure.
The challenge
Twelve video and photo editors had to work at the same time on the same footage while the festival was still running, with clips for social media due within hours. A traditional NAS saturates its bandwidth when that many people read in parallel, and more than 80 TB of footage in three days could not be lost.
Our solution
We separated speed from safety. An enterprise all-flash NVMe hot storage on a 40 Gbit fiber link let all twelve editors work directly on the volume, over a network of three fiber optic switches, all at 40 Gbit. Every card was copied in with integrity verification and every file was replicated onto two independent SSD NAS, giving three copies of every asset.
The result
For three days the media crew never stopped because of storage or bandwidth. More than 80 TB were handled with no lost files, and the clips went out on time.
