Omneon MediaGrid Active Storage System
 Omneon MediaGrid is the first content storage system that plays an active part in the broadcast workflow. More than just high-performance shared storage for all users within a facility, MediaGrid constantly adapts to the changing resiliency and bandwidth requirements of the broadcast workflow and actively performs media processing functions on stored content.
MediaGrid also easily integrates with workflow and content management applications through open file protocols and APIs. MediaGrid combines grid storage with grid computing through the use of multiple intelligent, interconnected-yet-independent content servers to create a system that scales in manageable increments of capacity, bandwidth and media processing power.
In addition to incredible bandwidth performance and storage scalability, MediaGrid also offers the ability to run processor intensive media processing applications on it. Through the Grid Processing Framework, application developers can create applications that can harness the additional processing capability of MediaGrid to process media files that are stored on it. This API provides access to the pool of CPUs within the ContentServers and allows applications to access and utilize previously unavailable quantities of processors for media centric operations.
ProXchange is a transcoding application developed by Omneon to take advantage of this innovative platform and allows content stored within MediaGrid to be automatically converted to other formats and wrappers. More information about this application can be found at the link below.
