My Eye Media Completes Major Expansion of Digital Media Infrastructure (MESA)
Story Highlights
My Eye Media has announced the completion of a significant infrastructure and security augmentation at the company’s Burbank, California headquarters. The facility’s online storage was increased to more than two petabytes with the purchase of additional NetApp E5600 series SAN arrays. Two more R&S® GEN 6 CLIPSTER mastering stations and a Colorfront Transkoder system were deployed into My Eye Media’s already robust operation. The company also implemented advanced security enhancements on its digital production network utilizing industry leading firewall protection with automatic threat detection and AlertLogic third-party monitoring.
My Eye Media CEO and founder Michael Kadenacy said the company remains committed to growing its infrastructure to meet the capacity and security demands of handling 4K HDR content and My Eye Media’s continued expansion of service offerings. “We are seeing a dramatic rise in the amount of 4K HDR master file QC and IMF packaging as more of our customers are adopting these file formats as standard deliverables,” Kadenacy said. “The addition of another two R&S® CLIPSTERs and our increased storage capacity will enable us to meet the increasing demand. And our commitment to digital security continues to be our highest priority.”
Over the past 4 years, My Eye Media has committed substantial capital investment to production infrastructure upgrades, including a massive storage capacity increase as well as outfitting bays with support for HDR, Dolby Atmos, and 4K/UHD. In early 2017, My Eye Media became the first Quality Control facility to be Dolby Vision Certified and began IMF packaging and delivery to major OTT service providers.
Raphael Morozov, My Eye Media’s CTO said, “Our robust infrastructure, backed by NetApp and the Quantum StorNext platform, ensures that client content is processed and secured by leading edge technologies and is the backbone for the ground-breaking tools being developed to service our customer base.”
