As more universities add broadcasting and media programs, shared storage becomes more essential. Keep reading to learn how shared storage today can be of benefit to your institution.
Increases Productivity and Teamwork
With the right shared storage solutions, students in media programs can have equal access to content (i.e. for group assignments). This helps promote teamwork and enables larger classes to be more productive.
Increases Speed and Security
Remote shared storage systems do not have to be manually moved between students and staff (again, as they can be accessed by multiple users at once), which helps in regards to both speed and security. Also, because the shared storage is RAID protected, you no longer have to worry about a drive crashing and losing any content.
Before investing in a shared storage device to enhance your university’s media program, it’s important to make sure it can support both the format of the content you’re working in (i.e. 4K cameras generating very high resolution video) as well as any editing applications used during post-production workflows. This will ensure your device(s) remain effective for a long time, thus protecting your investment.
