Overview of a media house workflow

One of the first processes for any media workflow is content creation or content gathering in the case of an aggregator. If this is taken care of systematically (ensuring correct format, relevant metadata, etc.), most of the complexities caused by human intervention can be minimized. This could also minimize the requirement for a transcoder in the subsequent stages.

Storage

The second stage is storage of the content. A high-speed SAN storage can be considered here. Though this is the fastest medium, it is not necessarily the most cost-effective. So, a second-tier cost-effective Nearline storage can be added to the setup for parking content that will not be used immediately.
