A reference model for separating application data, public assets and backups as a content library grows.
Evidence type: Illustrative/reference scenario, not a measured customer result
A reference model for separating application data, public assets and backups as a content library grows. Media files and backups were stored alongside the application, making capacity planning and recovery more difficult as the library expanded.
Challenge
Media files and backups were stored alongside the application, making capacity planning and recovery more difficult as the library expanded.
Solution
- Separate application workloads from media assets and backups.
- Define clear public and private storage boundaries.
- Document retention and recovery paths for important content.
Outcomes
- Make storage growth easier to forecast.
- Reduce application-server pressure from media workloads.
- Improve clarity for backup and recovery operations.
