VAST Universal Storage for Media and Broadcast

Live streaming events such as horse racing involves a highly orchestrated, lightning-fast balancing act. Anywhere from half-a-dozen to two dozen cameras may be used, each producing a live stream of 4K video images that requires 120 Mbps of bandwidth. Because video capture, manipulation, recording, and playback all involve writing to (and reading from) storage, minimizing read/write access times is fundamental to making the “live” part of real-time streaming feel live to viewers.
