“Everything’s A-OK” with Sesame Workshop’s 10+-Terabyte Storage Solution from Hitachi and Nexsan

The Information Please online almanac lists just two inspiring milestones for 1969. One is Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. The other is the debut of Sesame Street, the landmark educational show that introduced the world’s children to Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster. Thirty five years later, Sesame Street and its lovable characters continue to delight millions of children speaking more than a dozen languages in 148 countries on six continents.

Now, with help from Nexsan and Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST), the non-profit Sesame Workshop has a new digital asset management solution that not only preserves Sesame Street episodes for posterity, but also gives the non-profit a leg up on productivity for re-purposing content in future productions.
