Who:  Anand Bisen, Senior Architect of DataDirect Networks, Inc., the data infrastructure provider for the most extreme, content-intensive environments in the world-including more than 400 broadcasters and post production facilities across the globe.

What:  Bisen will present at the 2008 NAB Show Creative Storage Conference, during the Storage for Professional Content Editing and Post Production Session.

When:  Tuesday, April 15, 10:45 AM-12:15 PM. 

Where:  Las Vegas Convention Center N119. 

Why:  The performance and capacity required to support higher resolution HD, 2K and 4K formats challenge many storage systems and often become the environmental bottleneck. When significant investments are made in post production hardware and applications, relying on conventional, commodity storage erodes both productivity and ROI. Bisen will discuss how the latest storage solutions enable broadcasters and post production facilities to consolidate storage islands and provide the ability to share files, increasing the workflow velocity. He will also discuss how deploying a centralized solution can provide better performance and capacity scaling, data protection and reliable quality-of-service.

Anand Bisen is currently responsible for architecting data infrastructure solutions for some of the world’s most extreme, content-intensive environments.  Prior to joining DataDirect Networks in 2007, Bisen held technology and leadership positions with Thomson's Corporate Research group and the Indiana Centers for Applied Protein Sciences.  Bisen earned a master of science in computer science from Purdue University (Indiana, USA) and a bachelor of computer application from Devi Ahilya University (Indore, India).
