When VOOM embarked on the creation of a new high-definition (HD) 24-hour news channel, the company determined it needed an advanced video editing and storage solution. This solution needed to have the bandwidth and performance to allow editors at the new channel - VOOM HDNews - to quickly retrieve and store large, uncompressed video files in the 1080i high-definition digital TV (HDTV) format. They turned to Sanbolic, Inc., a StorageTek partner providing software tools and services, to enable high-bandwidth shared access to data. Sanbolic designed and implemented a robust Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN) to support the company's digital editing and storage needs.
