Australia broadcast services provider selects HPE Apollo 4000
and Scality RING to develop a simplified and cost-effective storage
solution for expanding broadcast archives
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that
MediaHub, an Australian leader in broadcast services, has selected
the HPE Apollo and Scality object storage solution to power its new
Storage-as-a-Service offering aimed at the Australian broadcast
market, enabling easy data management at any scale.
MediaHub, founded in 2009, is responsible for the live broadcast
of more than 400 TV channels and 90 radio stations. It works with
the country’s biggest broadcasters, including Sky and ABC. MediaHub
has navigated the transformation of the media landscape and
identified the growing challenge for broadcasters to store and
access large volumes of content in a cost-effective way.
HPE will be supporting ArkHub, MediaHub’s new low-cost data
storage service, providing customers with storage and access to
their rapidly expanding archives, without additional ingress,
egress and retrieval fees. This enables MediaHub’s customers to
create, store, retrieve and broadcast high-quality content to
viewers, ahead of their competition.
“Cloud providers do a great job of selling storage, but there
can be high fees for egress,” said Alan Sweeney, MediaHub CEO. “We
wanted to create a new model with HPE.”
ArkHub is built on the high storage density of HPE Apollo 4510,
in tandem with Scality RING scalable object storage to create
dense, stretch object storage across three locations.
“Scality enabled us to stretch across our own data and two
co-locations,” said Scott Jolly, MediaHub’s Head of Operations.
“This, plus the density of HPE Apollo, allowed us to address
fourteen-nines durability and data retrieval times.”
MediaHub is a long-time user of HPE servers and storage. This
history, Sweeney said, plus trusted support and HPE’s collaboration
with Scality (a recognized leader in scalable object storage), led
to the decision to select HPE and Scality to develop ArkHub.
HPE collaborated with partner Orro Group on the MediaHub
solution, helping the broadcast services provider on its journey to
expand its services to customers.
“It was clear we had two great professional businesses working
together to deliver a very robust, technologically-advanced
solution. This would allow us to develop a storage solution that
would meet all the data storage requirements of the industry and
our clients,” Sweeney said.
The launch also opens up opportunities in new industries too.
MediaHub is pursuing data-heavy industries, including healthcare,
education, and finance, where secure access to historical data is
critical. The HPE solution is easily expandable, meaning MediaHub
can add capacity as required.
“The HPE Apollo 4000 Systems with Scality RING delivers
customers the scalability needed as their data continues to grow,”
said Chris Weber, HPE Enterprise and Public Sector Director.
“In global terms, Australia is a vibrant but small broadcast
market,” said Sweeney. “ArkHub enables us to expand into new
markets. HPE and Scality create a very real gateway into the
digital storage market and that presents an enormous growth
opportunity for us.”
