Agenda
8:00 AM Introduction– Tom Coughlin, Coughlin
Associates
8:15 AM Session A: Living in Interesting Times: Changing Needs and Sources
for Rich Content Storage
Moderator:
There appears to be no limit to the storage requirements needed for rich
content creation and production. Higher content resolution and frame rates
can generate petabytes of content captured today in a single video production
project but with continued growth in resolution and frame rates we will
likely see exabytes in the not distant future. What are the storage and
bandwidth requirements for stereoscopic and high definition content capture?
What storage devices work best in which video production environments?
What are the requirements for animation and special effects creation? What
will the future hold for content capture and creation? This session will
give you information that you will need to create tomorrow’s blockbusters
and award winning content.

10:30 AM Session B: Post Production Never Sleeps: Storage Challenges and
Opportunities in Video Editing
Moderator:
A vast pool of captured and created content requires sophisticated and
high quality storage to support video editing and other post-production
tasks. Video production and post-production don't just use storage, they
inhale it. However video editing requires streaming video quality and latencies
that are very different from requirements for traditional enterprise storage.
In addition economic factors favor the creation of more collaborative workflows
that space distance and time creating a role for networked and on-line
storage as well as semiconductor storage to speed performance in modern
post production. This session displays the challenges facing post product
ion, with reports from end-users, and storage developers. Find out what
is required now and what is projected for the future.

2:00 PM Session C: Bringing it to the Masses:: Storage for Content Delivery
Moderator:
More formats, more channels and bigger pipes are changing the storage hierarchy
in content delivery. Flash memory and storage tiering are playing a significant
role in content delivery systems. At the same time HDDs and tape serve
as high performing storage libraries for video on demand, cable and satellite
distribution and various methods of internet and mobile phone distribution.
What will be the role of cloud storage and local storage and hybrids of
these two technologies in a complex content delivery environment?. What
is the future of physical content delivery? What will shortages of HDDs
due to content libraries? Determine the storage tools for content monetization
from the information you will learn in this session.

3:30 PM Afternoon Break
3:45 PM Session D: Keeping the Best to Last: Content Archiving and Asset
Management:
Moderator:
Will our valuable content libraries survive with the every changing formats
and storage devices? Can we make storage media and formats that will stand
the test of time? Will we be able to find our content when and where we
need it? How do content owners decide what will live and what will die?
How will this change in the future? Find out about valuable developments
in content archiving and automated metadata generation and asset management
that will make sure that our content libraries are resilient, strong and
useful. This session will help you to map out a strategy for long term
retention of precious professional content.
