Do you have a recommendation for Streaming Video Service and Media Storage Repository?

[Nick Recchia <nprecchia () USFCA EDU>]

Hello Colleagues,

I have been asked recently to research how other Universities and Colleges
are addressing the increasing demand to deliver quality and secure Streaming
Video both internally and externally- perhaps a hosted service?

Further, on a different but related front, what system are you utilizing
for  a secure Media Storage Repository?

USF is looking, ideally, to find an integrated system to provide both
functions,  Media Storage Repository and a Streaming Video server; however,
we are not opposed to utilizing two different services.

I would like to invite you to share  your challenges and successes; I look
forward to your input.

Below are areas we hope a new solution may provide us:

1. A Media Repository graphical user interface (GUI) that provide

   - the ability to share and repurpose video internally (up to multi gbs)
   - a tagging feature, with multi layering labeling (e.g. Google Apps) with
   easy search functionality.
   - LDAP Integration



2. Streaming Video

c.     Online programs

d.     Marketing USF

e.     Digital signage

d.     Blackboard integration.

f.      Live Streaming

g.     LDAP Integration

h.     Bandwidth issues

i.      Copyright policy

j.      Reporting-analytics

Thank you for your time. If you are at Security 2011 conference in San
Antonio, perhaps we may even talk about this in person too?

Sincerely,
-Nick
