TV Network Rids Storage Woes with Exos CORVAULT

Taiwanese cable provider Videoland TV Network brings a wealth of quality entertainment to its viewership through seven high-definition cable channels that span shows, movies, sports and more. When they realised they were spending more time and resources on outdated data storage mediums than they could afford, they sought out a more efficient solution — Seagate Exos CORVAULT.

Videoland stores copies of every program they air, including unprocessed master tapes. Until recently, they’d been using tape-based storage to do this. But when their data simply became too voluminous, they had to start looking for an alternative solution — one that could offer way more capacity while, hopefully, taking up a lot less space.   

Videoland originally used three tape cabinets for storage, each able to hold a thousand tapes. But, due to their need for backup storage, the actual available capacity was only five hundred. After switching to Exos CORVAULT, they not only gained enormous capacity in a small footprint, they eliminated issues such as damp or damaged tapes and offline storage problems.
