NORDUnet 2018 Storage Tender
Media storage/server.
Main Site : Greater Copenhagen area in Denmark
NORDUnet operates a number of media services, used for hosting videos from conferences and for general educational usage. These services have recently had an enormous uptake, and the storage need is outgrowing NORDUnet's current media storage platform. The NORDUnet datacentres are located in the Copenhagen area.
The current media storage platform is homegrown, and instead of expanding that and eventually run into unsolvable scalability issues, NORDUnet has decided to procure a new storage platform, which can be expanded both in space and performance on demand as needed.
Common for the media services are that they provide fine grained access control to the content, so no videos are served directly from storage to the end consumer, but always goes through a webservice.
The video files cover a wide range of sizes, as both length and resolution vary greatly from very short clips to feature length recordings of lectures or talks and from low resolution for portable devices to 4K.
