StorageTek in the news

• NBA mounts a full-court digital press
  July 28, 2005, Toronto Globe & Mail
  The National Basketball Association is betting that an innovative coupling of high-tech digital storage and more than 50 years of on-court action will net big dollars. NBA Entertainment, based in Secaucus, N.J., and Silicon Graphics Inc. of Mountain View, Calif., have teamed up to digitally capture every jump shot, lay-up and block recorded by NBA cameras since the league began filming games, and later videotaping them, in the late 1940s. Since early this year the partners have also digitally captured the action of games and transferred it straight to an SGI data warehouse, bypassing videotape. ... The heart of the system is an SGIR InfiniteStorage NAS 2000, a refrigerator-sized rack with a small server built into it. The SGI equipment is linked to StorageTek storage units and the computers of 17 line editors, plus a non-line editing PC. It also has a system that automatically decides what medium is best suited to store specific material.

• Is remote data protection right for your enterprise?
  July 19, 2005, Computerworld
  In the world of data backup, local tape drives and tape libraries have reigned as the solution of choice for decades. The reason is simple: Tape is inexpensive, highly portable and reliable. Companies that use tape backup for their centralized IT infrastructure have long done so because it made fiscal sense. However, this model often breaks down when applied to distributed data. According to a study by Equation Research, in 2004, 58% of companies had mission-critical data stored and used at remote locations.
