SVG PLAY: How On-Prem, the Cloud, and Growing File Sizes Are Impacting Storage and Archive Planning for Sports-Media Companies

A panel of leaders from the NBA, MLB, NHL, Imagen, and Data Core discuss striking a balance

For the first time since prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, the SVG Sports Content Management Forum returned to New York City.  Hosted at The Westin New York at Times Square on July 27, the event brought together technological leaders from various networks and vendors for a day of networking, information exchange, and idea sharing all around topics like storage, archiving, metadata, and more.

Sports leagues, broadcasters, and content producers of all sizes are challenged with The Big Archive Question: Where do I store my stuff? And, with more content being created every single year and file sizes continuing to grow with the arrival of 4K and HDR, this question has never been bigger.

In this panel discussion from the 2022 SVG Sports Content Management Forum, technology leaders and content owners discuss finding a happy medium between on-premises and the cloud, file-format and codec considerations, retention policies and the question of keeping/discarding physical tapes, and much more.

Panelists:
Tom Blake, Imagen, Commercial Director
Alex Grossman, DataCore, VP, Product Management and Product Marketing
Chris Halton, NBA, SVP, Media Technology and Operations*
Adam Japhet, Major League Baseball, Senior Director of Corporate Infrastructure
Grant Nodine, NHL, SVP, Technology
Moderator:
Tab Butler, SVG Sports Content Management Committee, Former Chairman
