Looking for dense reliable storage

NBC Olympics planned comprehensive coverage of the Rio 2016 Summer Games via broadcasts across the NBC Universal family of networks and streaming media channels offered via the network’s website and mobile app.
To create this massive volume of content — and to do so cost-effectively — NBC Olympics needed a dense, reliable storage infrastructure capable of capturing, storing and making media available to an array of parallel workflows and many simultaneous users working from a variety of remote sites.

NBC Sports gets results

Harmonic Spectrum media servers and MediaGrid storage, combined with the asset management portal, were used to support network production including daytime, prime time, and late night shows; cable production by 10 different NBCUniversal channels and various specialty sports channels; digital-only productions; the Gold Zone, a collection of the best live action of the moment; a hyperfocused gymnastics program; and all web, mobile, live streaming, STB, TV everywhere and XFINITY MVPD delivery. 
Over the course of 17 days, NBC Olympics used its Harmonic MediaGrid shared storage infrastructure to record and store 9,267 hours of content, a new record for the network’s coverage of the Games.
