The creation of rich media like high definition video for consumers and businesses has become so easy that it is not uncommon to find widespread Big Data growth across vertical and horizontal markets alike. Regardless of size, post production departments typically share the same challenge—the need to have concurrent, high speed access to a shared storage pool. Typically, many of these smaller workgroups don't have the IT budget or expertise to meet the challenges of Big Data.
