Digital production content is increasing in size and data rate.
Modern media production is largely done with what are called File Based Workflows in which rich video content may be captured digitally or converted into digital form and then editing and other post production work is done on this digital content.
Attendees will have a chance to hear talks covering digital storage products and systems for content capture, video production, content distribution and archiving, including two keynotes by end users of digital storage as well as an end user session.
But as the digital power content of mainstream energy production and use, still small today, grows, many of today's alternatives will become tomorrow's mainstream.
Both companies were innovators in developing digital storage architectures serving particular needs for rich content storage in archiving, digital content libraries, special effects and post production.
Rich digital content files are quite large and for content distribution (where the monetization of the production work takes place) is done with compressed digital formats.
For every thousand people who watch a Flash clip online or fill out an online Adobe Acrobat Reader tax form (without paying), there's a Web programmer or graphic designer who paid several hundred dollars for the right to create that digital content using Adobe's multimedia production and editing tools such as Flash, Acrobat, Illustrator and Photoshop.
Higher resolution and more immersive content for consumers will drive digital storage demand for professional video production as well.
The professional media and entertainment industry has undergone a massive transformation over the last 15 years, from an analog world defined largely by video tape and film to one defined by digital formats and metadata (information about the video content and its production history).
Digitization has lowered the cost and increased the efficiency of video production, resulting in a surge in the amount of content available as well as the hardware needed to support digital production, distribution and archiving.
From footage capture in the field, to post-production of the finished film, the ioFX is architected for uninterrupted manipulation of digital content in real time.

These companies have had a presence in several parts of the professional media and entertainment value chain (particularly in archiving and supporting near line storage) but digital production storage has been dominated by smaller firms that made specialized storage products that supported the low content latency and high streaming quality of service that are unique to high resolution video workflows.
