A storage architecture for a digital content team
A reference model for separating application data, public assets and backups as a content library grows.
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.
