Who
Problem
KBS had tested its legacy system, SQL Server. Although it performed passably during the test, its actual performance suffered from growing on-air requirements.
The increasing load on the database which requested data for fast recording, playback, and storage strained the legacy system. Performance degradation swelled with each passing day.
Growth in incremental data transfer within the system and to other related systems became plagued with latency and irregularity and ultimately gave rise to a defunct database management system.
KBS needed an on-time, reliable, and highly available system.
Solution
Results
KBS’s digital audio file system now runs without issues, meeting all demands from its real time on-air requirements.
On-air recording, playback, storage, and data transfer happen in real time and without performance degradation regardless of rising system demands.
KBS is fortified with a tool called aexport which facilitates swift data download and upload. Aexport, a native tool in Altibase, further ensures fast, reliable, and uninterrupted data processing.
KBS has no run-time problems with Altibase’s HA in active-standby replication mode.
KBS has also paved the way for other leading broadcasting companies to adopt Altibase for their own digital audio file systems.
