HP to Help Starz Entertainment Group Bring Movies to Millions of Subscribers on Cable and Satellite

HP today announced that Starz Entertainment Group (SEG) has deployed an advanced HP storage solution that will streamline the delivery of uncut movies to millions of customers.

SEG will leverage the HP Media Storage solution to store and manage its complete repository of movies and television content, which is delivered to cable and satellite operators and ultimately to its approximately 25 million subscribers via 13 channels, including Starz and Encore.

SEG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation, is the largest provider of cable and satellite-delivered premium movies in the United States. Like many other media companies, SEG must be able to manage massive amounts of digital information. For example, a single, full-length movie in digital format can consume 140 gigabytes of storage.
